I'm currently using the new IE10 which is fast and secure but if you want privacy and anonymous i use tor project browser.

 

I have been using "Pale Moon" now for over a year and am well satisfied with it.
It is like Firefox but 25% faster and with plenty of add ons.

I use Waterfox on my 64 bit machine, with Palemoon and Opera as backup browsers...

It's good to have at least two browsers, if your primary goes down, you have an easy way to browse for a fix or new copy to reinstall...

 

Another Pale Moon user here, usually the 64 bit version, great stability.

 

Pale Moon here with FireFox as my backup.

 

Firefox is my main browser but also use Pale Moon (as Fx's backup). Why the best for me? Versatility with hundreds-thousands extensions for Firefox and one can also use most Firefox's extensions for Pale Moon. Both offer forums for any questions or support. IE9 is collecting *dust* as the versatility is just not there. Might change my opinion when IE10 will be offered for Win 7. I tried Opera and Google Chrome but came back to the 2 that I mentioned above.

 

I generally use SRWare Iron as my main browser. Looks like Chrome and just as fast to me, and Firefox is my back up browser, although it gets a pretty good work out when I use it mainly for me e-mails. But I really like Iron.

 

Hi David, Thanks and yes I know that IE10 is available for Win 7 but decided to wait for the Windows Update to install it. That should happen within a few months I believe to have read. I'm in no hurry as I have currently 2 excellent browsers.

 

I have given a try to many browsers but I stick to Chrome.

 

The honest answer to your question these days is "whichever one you prefer".

All the major browser producers perform regular security updates, on a modern machine there is almost no difference in speed at a level most people care about (i.e. 1/2 a second), most browsers offer extensions of varying degrees of usefulness, and they all perform their basic function well.

In the past I would have recommended firefox without a pause, but now you hsould go for whichever browser offers the extensions you need.

I also use pale moon and love it, but I can't say I've noticed a 25% speed increase. I am on a less than year old computer however.

 

My second browser is "Waterfox" (64 bit Firefox) and it is definitely slower than "Palemoon" not by a huge amount but it is noticable.
I ran a simple test and had both browsers open then loaded the same website (MGs) in both and Palemoon was without doubt faster.

 

Firefox is much improved. It now has an amazing ability to be speedy even with hundreds of tabs whereas other browsers slow down with a few dozen or even a dozen. Of course it has lots of good add-ons. One I would not want to be without is Session Manager, which restores your tabs even when Firefox's restore session feature fails.

I also am using Pale Moon as a backup and finding it's mighty good.
