Right now I have Chrome and IE (don't use IE) though.

Should I download FireFox?

If so what are the "benefits" of it?

Chrome = Google and Google likes to harvest your data for advertisers. If you don't mind that , then no problem. Stick with Chrome. If you do mind it, then Go with a different browsers. There are better ones then FireFox for privacy, Maxthon comes to mind.

FF is so 90's. It's bloated with lots of mostly unnecessary features. Most today are going minimalist and focus on speed and power. FF is quite extensible, but it's a browser. What do you really need?

I couldn't stand Firefox.

Been using Chrome since it's release. Love it.

I use and love firefox.

But chrome is currently leading on web standards compliance. This has to do with the features that are available in the webpages themselves. They aren't the biggest things in the world usually, but they can have a small effect on your experience.

HTML5test - How well does your browser support HTML5?

Firefox was leading in this until recently, so it changes a good bit.

I love Firefox as well. It's the browser that I use all the time. Never had any problems.

They are always upgrading it based on user input.
I recommend it and so do millions of other people.

Its a 5 star feature on CNET.

Mozilla Firefox

Agreed but like @HaroldSeattle said, Google is using your data. If that doesn't bother you, keep using it as I think it's the best too.
