1) blockchain.info
Its the fastest and most reliable, others are crappy and show fake transactions, sometimes the amount is not shown correctly. Or just hard to interpret the TX data!
funny how you say that, as blockchain.info is actually the one that shows fake transactions because their ledger doesnt even check to see if a transaction is valid. there's actually an unconfirmed transaction (for 2 years and running) from satoshi's address on BC.i that isnt shown on any other block explorer. Well blocktrail does the same, i thought blockchain.info showed valid TX, atleast i saw my transactions there and they were ok. Perhaps some fake ones that got in there, i see they are updating it every day so i hope they will improve their service. If you mean that BlockTrail also shows fake transactions, then you are wrong. BlockTrail has never shown any fake transactions.

It's funny how people still give their 100% trust to a block explorer that showed some fake transactions on the address where the first 50 bitcoins were sent to. That's a big no for me.

Now it may have been a rare bug, but i just happened to saw it.

Can you point me to it? [/quote] It was weeks ago, i checked faucetbox first for withdrawals (not their internal transaction), and as you can see there they send from 1 address to 50 addresses payments, so i checked it first on blocktrail, and it showed it. Then i checked it on blockchain, and blockr, and it didnt showed it. Now to my knowledge even an unconfirmed tx doesnt get withdrawed from the memory pool for 1-2 days, so i guess it was some bug. I dont remember the transaction id anymore, but i thought i just tell you it.

BlockTrail CTO here, I'm 100% sure BlockTrail can't show invalid transactions, our infrastructure is build around Bitcoin Core which validates transactions and blocks. However, what you describe sounds more like a badly propagating transaction or a double spend, so either it did not propagate to many nodes (so it never reached blockr or bc.info) because of low fee or something other funky (which I guess if they pay to 50 addresses sounds plausible that they didn't pay enough fee) or it could have been double spend, blockr and blockchain.info only keep track of one of the 2 if someone tries to double spend something, they discard the other. also keep in mind double spends aren't always intentional, could be excidental software failure etc.

I think that blocktrail is very nice. If you're watching the blocksize debate it comes in handy since they indicate which BIP each block's coinbase was signed with.

This is another feature from blocktrail that keeps me on using their service. As an observer of Core vs XT, it is handy to show how many blocks were mined with what version of bitcoin.

I only use blockchain.info, I have not really bothered with any of the other explorers. Call me lazy lol.

Signatures? How about learning a skill... I don't care either way. Everybody has to make a living somehow.

BlockTrail is best in OP's list. The only drawback they have is that their page load time is too slow.

I only use blockchain.info unless it's down. Then I use blockexplorer.com, but it's not as detailed as blockchain.info I can check out Most Popular Addresses, Orphaned Blocks, Unconfirmed Transactions, Largest Transactions etc.

most of the actual to track a transaction I just use blocktrail.
it seems to already find and label where the coin from, so its easier to decide.

BlockTrail is best in OP's list. The only drawback they have is that their page load time is too slow. (Blocktrail CTO here), Thanks for the feedback! The Blocktrail Blockexplorer is a so called single-page-app, meaning it loads a whole bunch of javascript into your browser on the first page load and then doesn't really load any full pages anymore when you navigate around but instead only loads the data required to render the page in your browser. The advantage is that once the page is loaded it's much faster to navigate around, but you're right that the first load is slower than most others! We've added so many features that there's a lot of javascript loaded by now (for example when you visit a blockexplorer page it also already loads the code required for the wallets dashboard). We're working on some big things at Blocktrail right now, but soon enough we'll be able to spread out attention again more across all our products and we'll take a stab at reducing the page load time. It looks like we can easily get it down by half or more if we seperate some of the javascript and don't load it until we need it!
