Selected answers from the Dumb SEO Questions Facebook & G+ community.

Joanna Jana Laznicka: It also varies by location
David Abed: Yea I understand the location part, that makes sense to me. But why the engines.
Michael Martinez: Each search engine builds its own index and uses its own ranking and filtering algorithms.
Matthew Drake Shockey: As long as you are using the same search engine, it should rank the same on different browsers
David Abed: I am getting three completely different rankings on three different browsers.
Ash Nallawalla: Use incognito mode on all browsers. Sometimes you reach different data centres for the same engine and they are not fully synced.

David Abed: Matthew Drake Shockey Thank you!
David Kutcher: Personalization. Are you signed in?
Steve Wiideman: Forget the browser and just use the Ad Preview and Diagnosis Tool in AdWords. Doesn`t get more non-personalized.
