blockchain.info 

[illyiller]

Too many people depending on blockchain.info's block explorer....it's wrong more often than any other (by far). I, too, like the interface. But blockr.io is far superior and I would recommend using that.

[Naoko]

i like blockchain.info coz the friendly interface and loads fast

[madonnino]

[TTMNewsMJ]

Blockchain.info
It's very fast.

all block explorer are created for the same purpose so they are the same with different designs
some have additional features like verifying signatures, having a web wallet, having some statistics etc..

I use http://blockr.io as block explorer, it is very complete and has a better interface than blockchain.info

I could never imagine that there are so many different block explorers around.

I only use blockchain.info and google another one only when blockchain is down is problematic

There are more block explorer sites and some of them was doing it for showing ads and for claiming fees from blockchain network.

You're right. It greatly benefited them when they purchased that domain name because the value of domain quickly rose because of users.
