Internet Explorer.

Precision trackpads and touchscreens? Well, if you have them, you kind of are stuck with them on the PC side. Battery life is much nicer, too. (Yeah, I use laptops and tablets.) It's plenty fast and stable, anyway, and I wouldn't want to move away from it, seeing as I have no good reason to switch.

I've moved to IE11 recently. Seems to be the fastest and most stable browser on windows I've used, although it is not as versatile as Chrome or Firefox. It just works though with no crashing or lag plus it takes up little of the RAM on my computer. Blip.tv doesn't seem to be working on it though.

I only use ad block plus and colour zilla. I like to keep my browsers as lightweight as possible.

Currently I'm now using a variant of Firefox called Waterfox. It's a 64-bit variant of Firefox that can use more resources and works very well on my Alienware laptop I was given a couple days ago and my HP computer.

I think 64-bit browsers aren't exactly something that is very important right now, to be honest. Extensions? Couldn't care less, either.

I just want to have a web browser that does what it's supposed to do, and not much more, if anything. Things get too froofy otherwise.

The only thing that is holding me back from switching to IE11 is the lack of extensions. Rumors are saying that IE12 will have extension support though, so I'm looking forward to that!
Makes me wonder what kind of extension support IE12 will have.

If it ends up supporting NPAPI, oh dear god.

I'd imagine they'll either support PPAPI, or some unique Microsoft implementation (former more likely)

Firefox with Adblock, NoScript, HTTPS-Everywhere, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy, SpeedDial and Youtube Center. I suppose a couple of them are pretty redundant, but I'm just too lazy sort them out.

Google Chrome is my favorite so far.

I used to love Firefox but I find quite ridiculous how sometimes the Firefox system process goes over 9000 for no apparent reason.

As I am a robot, I am incapable of dreaming, but... how shall I put it? I have very much longed to

Was with chromium because I preferred open source, but then my 1password extension was not working, so I had to switch back to chrome :(
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension by anyway chance?

I know it sucks for me when a plugin just stops working after a browser update. Hopefully though said extension will be working sooner or later. Maybe you should contact the makers of 1password and let them know that it stopped working to see if they could offer a solution. :)

I have an older mac book computer. I do use Firefox on my laptop because Safari was far too slow for me. I've used Firefox for nearly ten years now. XD

Safari :) I know safari sucks in other platforms but with OS X is amazing, it works even better than chrome. Oh and I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine as well

Depends. I have Firefox and CoolNovo right now since I'm not in class this semester. I've used Firefox, Pale Moon, Aurora (waaaay back when it first came out), Chrome, CoolNovo, IE, Opera, Chromium, Maxthon, and Torch Browser. Got rid of the extras (Pale Moon, Aurora, and Chrome (Sorry, CoolNovo works better for me)). Stopped using IE because of bad ad blocking, Opera because I kept getting problems with loading tumblr (still not sure what the problem for that is), Maxthon and Torch is heavy and while they look nice, they're not that great.
