My main browser is Firefox 6.0. I really don't use any other browser, unless Firefox decides to turn into FailFox then I revert to my backup browser Google Chrome.

I've always preferred using IE, but I've been using Chrome since I got my new computer. It runs a fair amount faster, but it takes some getting used to. I might try Firefox later on, but I'll just stick with Chrome for now.

I used to be a Firefox fanatic. Then 3.0 wasn't all that brilliant. And 3.5 was rather bumpy. 4.0 became horribly unstable. So I started using Safari instead.

I don't know about Safari on Windows (wouldn't recommend it), but on the Mac it's rather nice when you've got AdBlock running.

I won't vote since I switch around.

I'm currently using Chrome 13.
I previously used Nightly/Firefox 9.10, but I also have 4.0.
I have IE9, but I never use it. The only thing it's used for is when I reset to factory.
I also have Opera, Avant, and Wyzo.

At the moment I am using Chrome until Firefox 6 or 7 is released, most likely the latter.
Actually, it's already on 9. Look up Firefox Nightly builds. They're basically alphas of future ff versions that are consistently released and updated for user testing.

I've used Chrome ever since I first tried it, virtually. It's just easy to me. I went through a period when I tried to switch to Firefox once, but it's so much slower. I think that might just be because of my computer, though, but nonetheless I had to go back to Chrome.

However, the biggest potential advantage I see in Firefox is how customizable it is, but I've never put enough effort into that for it to make a difference. Plus, Chrome is customizable too but I only use a couple extensions, so that factor apparently isn't all too important to me.

Chrome (although I'm posting this on Firefox to convince myself that the larger text on this style isn't that much of an issue lool). But really, Chrome is much faster at downloading, doing anything, inspect element works just as well as firebug without lag, etc. Only flaw is apng not appearing in Chrome and that it sometimes lags when there's too many tabs but otherwise it's a really good browser.

tbh I went from IE from 2005 > mid-2008, Firefox from mid-2008 > September-2011 and now yeah just Chrome pretty much.

Firefox is only there to check if PC's down or not, since for Firefox I only need to click once and on Chrome I need to click a few times for something to go through but I don't mind really. :x

I've used Firefox ever since I discovered that IE sucks. I've bothered myself to use other ones, but I always end up using Firefox. Chrome annoys the heck out of me, Opera is just too...way not my type. And the others I cbf'd to try anymore.

And yeah, I'm biased but who cares?

Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 (x86 en-GB) - Which I think is the lastest?

Anyway, I'm just too used to Firefox right now, it's very fast with my 30mb internet, and it's layout it basic enough and not too complicated, I don't think I'd be changign any time soon to be frank. I've tried Google Chrome, but it honestly didn't like me.

I think it was in early 2008 when I switched to Chrome. I think that's when I was just getting into the internet. I had a problem with Windows like last year or so, and I switched to Firefox believing Chrome to be the culprit (which it wasn't), but now I'm back with it.

Generally I find it fast and appealing.

I used to use Firefox all the time, but then I joined a website (that shall remain unnamed) that would not work properly with it, so I got Chrome for that and now it's my main browser. I still use Firefox for some things, though. I still have IE, but yeah. Never use it.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE... and it's Chrome. Given, I have every other browser installed, but that's because I tend to test them whenever new advancements are made.

I'm the same, I like checking in case (on the off chance) some other browser gets a new feature that I like enough to change browsers.
