There cannot be a single answer directly declaring any one browser to be the best. It depends on the users’ point of view as to which suits best his requirements. There are many points of differences between the Microsoft's "Internet Explorer" and Google's "Chrome". From layman point of view it can be simply said that Chrome is faster than IE. It is true that Chrome has a better efficiency with respect to page load time, loading of JAVA applications, etc. The Chrome interface is very user friendly and attractive which helps beginners to easily surf the internet. Main advantage of using Chrome is due to its multiprocessing capability where in if any web application slows down the browse or causes it to crash; only the current tab is affected keeping other tabs unharmed. Chrome also uses the new V8 tool to run JAVA applications which enhances performance.
A Wikipedia link stating some of the facts about chrome is mentioned hereby: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_Google_Chrome_better_than_Internet_Explorer
Though Chrome appears to be fast and fancy, IE is a traditional and reliable browser which has always been known for its powerful security. All major secures transactions like Net banking, etc. ask for the browser to be IE or Firefox while Chrome is mostly avoided. As a small example, we can consider the 'Research In Motion' website which allows loading of applications to a Blackberry smart phone directly through the internet only on the IE browser, Even Firefox or Opera are not accepted.
