For this pool, I have 2 options:
Google Chrome and
Mozilla Firefox.
I chosen these browsers because it's a big fight for the 1st place.
UPDATE: This fight is at security, performance and usability. In one word: all.
Both are good web browsers and the difference in most cases, are based on personal preferences and not real noticeable differences.
I'll tell you, why I do think Chrome is a better browser (for me) , when compared with Firefox.
First off all, if I format my computer and install Chrome or I'm going over at my girlfriends house and use her laptop... I always have my bookmarks,extensions and other personalization with me.How?
I just need to signing in to Chrome and this will bring my bookmarks, history, and settings to all of my devices. Just go to the Wrench menu and select "Sign in to Chrome."

I like the Google Chrome clean and simple user interface and the fact that Google is always updating this browser with new features and always keeping me, up-to-date with the latest builds.And maybe it's just me, however Chrome seems wit a few miliseconds faster when browsing than Firefox is. Of couse all this are subjective points and won't matter much in a debate.
However, if there is field where Chrome managed to get in front of Firefox is surely is security.....
Not only Chrome is very secure from exploits and other similar stuff , but their Safe Browsing feature is just something else!
Chrome will show you a warning message before you visit a site that is suspected of containing malware or phishing. And in most cases they will detect a malicious script way before any of the security vendors are able to find it.
Not only will Chrome detect the malicous codes within the websites code, however it does a great job at preventing users from downloading malicious files.
If you have Chrome installed, just try to download 10 malware samples..... 9/10 will surely be blocked by this browser.
Firefox is far,far away from Chrome when it comes to security.....or in fact, Google is in front of all the other developers.
PWN2OWN 2013 has started, so it will be very interesting to see this year hacking contest on this two browsers.
