Google Chrome is today the most popular browser it's fast and good, every time I use Internet Explorer it makes me explode do you feel the same? Why are people still using Internet Explorer?

Because that's what shipped with their operating system.

I guess you are correct it happens to be every time I use someone's computer and advise them to use chrome they thanked me afterwards

I find that periodically when I fill out a form or such, at "enter" it wont go through on Chrome and when I do it over on IE, it does.

Best is a matter of preference. I've found that Chrome is faster and better at memory management, but Firefox has better add-ons and tab management, which for me is more important. As for IE, if you just do basic browsing, I'm not sure it's any worse; it's gotten much better over the years.

+1 Although I agree with the OP that Chrome (and as AU said, Firefox...and I'll add Opera) are all superior to IE, for a normal, non-techie user, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

For some reason lately I'm having issues with Firefox, while watching videos (YouTube, Vimeo etc.) they get really choppy. The issue is only on Firefox, it's gotten to a point where I'll usually just copy/paste the link into Chrome to watch. Anyone else experiencing this?

add extension called "open with"
Won't solve your problem but you won't have to copy paste

Thanks. Though of course I'd rather fix the underlying problem. Any ideas what could be slowing down my browser?

As a matter of fact, IE 11 is not that bad, in fact, some of my best friends use IE... I still use Chrome for the features such as cloud print, tabs being accessible over all my devices, form auto-fill etc.

Internet explorer RIP

History
For many years (2000 to 2008), IE market share was more than 80%. And IE v6 was considered as ade facto standard (80% to 97% market share in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 for IE6 only, more market share with all IE versions).
As IE6 was not respecting Web standards, developers had to test their website using IE6. That situation was great for Microsoft (MS) as web developers had to buy MS products (e.g. IE cannot be used without buying Windows), and it was more profit-making to stay non-compliant (i.e. Microsoft wanted to become the standard excluding other companies).
Therefore many many sites were IE6 compliant only, and as IE was not compliant with web standard, all these web sites was not well rendered on standards compliant browsers. Even worse, many sites required only IE.
However, at this time, Mozilla started Firefox development respecting as much as possible all the web standards (other browser were implemented to render pages as done by IE6). As more and more web developers wanted to use the new web standards features, more and more websites were more supported by Firefox than IE.
When IE market sharing was decreasing, MS realized staying standard incompatible was not a good idea. Therefore MS started to release new IE version (IE8/IE9/IE10) respecting more and more the web standards.

Not that much of a big deal though.

Chrome kills battery. If your on a laptop makes a big difference.
-
Chrome stinks at predicting what webpage you want to go to. Firefox is just miles ahead in that regard.
But Chrome is much faster in general.
-
I like using Chrome, but when something doesn't work well,
I open Firefox and everything works fine.

Same here.

And Firefox kills memory (open tabs), IE kills functionality (<10)

Chrome is not the fast, lean browser it once was. It's still ahead of the others, but the gap is closing between chrome and firefox.

IME Chrome uses much more memory than FF.

IME Chrome uses much more memory than FF.
Chrome uses a seperate process for each tab you have open, and every process has it's own ram usage associated with it. Firefox on the other hand doesn't, but the browser itself uses more memory. IOW, if you have many tabs open chrome uses more, but if you only have a couple of tabs open, firefox uses more (at least IME).

IME, Chrome with a few tabs uses the same memory as FF with 75.

I always use FF but it still has pretty bad memory leaks, I think it's better than it used to be be not the way it should be
-
NOTE: There are countless threads about the pros/cons of the different browsers, I figured this was the best one to bump.
After using chrome for about a decade I finally downloaded firefox today and I was blown away literally!
Like everyone else, I ditched ff years ago because it would explode and crash your whole system. It seems now that chrome and ff have reversed places. Chrome is an absolute memory hog and so far ff is performing wonderfully. I always attributed the speed of chrome (or lack thereof) to the poor specs of my computer but now I see I was wrong, ff is flying and kicking dust in chromes face, rightfully so!

Opera.
