I couldn't have said it better!

I have used every single (commercial) browser out there, on every platform including mobile devices and PDAs.

Up to date I have not found a single browser that can beat Chrome in both UI and speed. I must say, however, Chrome is still a bit lacking in Linux due to compatibility problems with certain plugins.

However, the added privacy and security beats the hell out of any other browser I've tried.

- Internet Explorer has it's problems with CSS rendering / backwards compatibility. Making up for it with "Compatibility View" was not the best option.

- Firefox is stable, has loads of plugins, but lacks a bit of muscle, has too many bug fixes and security issues being fixed constantly, doesn't have a slick nor impressive UI (even with plugins like Chromifox and Omnibar which is buggy).

- Safari looks nice, performs beautifully well, but the UI and some of the options are a bit "strange" to use. However, I'll leave this to a matter of taste, I quite like Safari though.

- Opera... Too bulky... Works good, loads of options, perfect css/xhtml handling and validation, but too bulky.

- Chrome speaks for itself. Eats quite a lot of ram sometimes on some JS/Flash heavy pages... But makes up for that with every other option it has, security-wise, UI-wise, speed-wise. A bit lacking on Macs still, but it's getting there. Still also needs a bit of work on Linux. But on Windows it is pure glory.
