Chrome. I have no need for firefox and all it's ad-ons that can be downloaded, and I find Chrome is faster anyway. I like the minimalist look of chrome too, I also like maximized viewing space.

IE8 was a hideous wreck, Safari is slow on windows, and Opera, I will admit I've never properly tried.

I have Safari, AOL, and Firefox all on my computer. However, I prefer Safari. I don't really like Firefox for whatever reason, and AOL is just horrid.
I still use all three browsers, though, for different things. I don't really know why, but I keep AOL open even though I very rarely use it for anything. I don't even get any emails, either.

Google Chrome. Even when I boot into Linux. In fact, if I install Linux for someone, the first thing I do is setup Chrome for them.
I have Safari, but never use it, and it's starting to look like "Apple Chrome", despite being slower. Used to use FireFox, but Chrome is so much leaner and faster that I can't stand it anymore.

I've used Opera and found it nice, but it's a bit slow [although, I only used it on this ancient Mac of mine from `01, but it was slower than Safari there [but Safari crashed all the time on it]].

Yeah, when Chrome gets Adblock Plus, I'll consider using it. Until then, I don't care if it's greased lightning, I'm not using it.

I use Internet Explorer whenever I go on my school's laptop. My cousin dowloaded Firefox 3.5 and won't let no one use any other web browser. Once I get my own laptop, I'm going to immediately get Safari. I'm sorry, but I've always been a Safari. Firefox is still awesome, though.

If you're using OS X. Safari on Windows is terrible.

Actually, I believe there is some sort of Adblocking addon for Chrome...
It's not perfect, as far as I can tell, but give this a look: http://adsweep.org/

Firefox 3.???. I don't dare try Google Chrome with the very limited amount of space left on my computer's hard drive...

Even though I've already posted which browser I use in here... I do have this to say to people: Having 200+ bookmarks can really slow down your browser's performance, no matter which one you use. I know this from personal experience (I had 500+ before I cleaned them out in FF).

I have tried IE, Safari, Chrome, Flock, and Firefox, and Firefox is still my most favorite of the three (Flock wasn't anything particularly special and Safari is pretty slow on Windows; don't even get me started on IE). I would migrate to Chrome, but I'd miss my Firefox add-ons too much since I use them all the time while I browse.

I use Firefox because there's a lot of add-ons for it and it's safer than IE.
Firefox + NoScript + AdBlock Plus = Safer browsing.

I've tested Opera and it's good browser.

I hate IE because it's insecure and it follows web standards pretty poorly.
Btw, Even IE's name says no if you add a letter "I" in the begining of it and you get a word "IIE" which means no in Japanese. And here's another way how it says no: just switch the place of the letters and you get word "EI" which means no in Finnish. :laugh:

Definitely has to be Mozilla Firefox for me. I have also used IE7, IE8 and Google Chrome. Google Chrome has a good interface, is fast, and was one that I used for a good while. IE7 was really not that good in my opinion, the interface looked dull, and it was a slow browser to work with. IE8 was a good improvement, but I still just didn't like any of the IE browsers enough to make it my favourite.
Lastly, I came to Firefox, which I thought wasn't that great before using it, but it really was the best from what I've seen. The interface is very nice, it's speed is good, and one of the best things about it is the add-ons. One of my favourite add-ons has to be Personas, it's just great for taking away that grey/white dullness of the browser with a huge selection of pictures to choose from. Some other good add-ons in my opinion are; Add Block Plus, Fireshot, and Web Of Trust, and the one I'd really recommend from those three is Web Of Trust (WOT), for safe browsing. If you're browsing, lets say on Google, when you search whatever you're searching, it will have a circle beside each result telling you where to trust (having red, yellow and red circles), and to check why it's that colour you click the circle and it brings you to the page for comments on the site, and if there's none, you can request. Yeah, that add-on is pretty handy.
Well anyway, yeah, Mozilla Firefox is great.
