What browser are you using?

Firefox for the way it handles bookmarks.

Opera and Chrome for speed. I've been using Google Bookmarks lately. If I can get a handle on my bookmark situation I may dump Firefox...
 
FireFox (for features and ease of use) and Chrome for pure raw speed, security and stability. I've tried opera, but other than it's ability to bypass censors and corporate filters, I really don't care for it. I keep IE around only because MS sometimes must use it. Otherwise, I don't touch IE and would gladly delete it.

I've been using Opera for years, can't beat it. But I have to keep IE for a few sites that don't recognize Opera. There are things built into Opera that you need plugins for with other browsers.
 
I like to use the Firefox 4 beta 7 for me, and Chrome for the ladies. I love the new Firefox, but they HAVE to fix these memory issues.
With only 1 tab open:
IE9 - 23mb
Chrome - 38mb
Firefox4b7 - 146mb
 
I still like IE7, even though many people are jumping onto firefox & chrome. It works really well and I dont have any issues whatsoever

I'm an upgrade junkie, DL'ed ie8 as soon as it came out and had SO many problems/compatibility issues i finally gave on on ie. All firefox now
 
yeah, thats why you dont download IE beta - lol - don't blame IE8 issues on IE7, which is much more stable, IMO.
 
Chrome primary, Firefox (pre-installed with Ubuntu), and IE (when I need MS specific updates at work).

I used to keep an updated copy of firefox for those stubborn sites but thats not the case anymore. I haven't seen a site that wouldn't show properly in opera (excepting my adblocking whitelists) for years now. Even my old uni's restrictions could be bypassed by changing the "identify as" settings.

I keep chrome on my pc also because more people are familiar with it if they have to use my pc. I've been hearing good things about IE9 also, but haven't tried it personally.
 
I use Chrome and Firefox on Win7, on Ubuntu I use Firefox (haven't downloaded Chrome yet, I may do that), and Epiphany when I am really feeling geeky.
 
Opera 11 on PC
Opera Mobile 10.1 on phone
Opera Link FTW!

I also have IE9, Chrome8 & FF4 installed

TBH, if it wasnt for EU browser choice screen I would never have installed Opera - so glad I did!
 
I just found out Chrome handles bookmarks the way I like last night....If I can get some better compatibility with AI Roboform or a decent substitute....Firefox may be done for.

Oh and make Ultra Edit or NotePad++ be used as default when viewing web page source.

Opera is still there just for the speed alone, but I need it to work with some of my apps or find decent substitutes...
 
I'm a multi-platformist, therefore a browser that works well across Windows, OS X, and Linux is preferable.

I am very happy with Chrome.
 
Would love to try a new browser besides IE but none so far will allow me to change the background to a high contrast black b/g with a light font. I have bad vision and so far, only IE will allow me to change the colors on a webpage. If anyone knows otherwise, let me know! I love Opera and Safari but the white background kills my eyes.

You reminded me that I need this sometimes too. Some websites I visit, when you click on a link you cant tell if you already did cuz the either background color is the same as or something else is going on.

Found out I was using a beta of the latest Roboform....went back to the latest stable version and it works. (I had to use the beta for the latest version of Firefox.)

Found out how to search for words in web page sources...Chrome has that built in. Thats all I wanted UltraEdit or Notepadd++ for...

Its safe to say Chrome is my default browser now. Gonna play around with Opera to see if that or Firefox will be my #2.

Also found out with Chrome you can search thru bookmarks, a big help with ppl with lots of bookmarks and you know at least a specific word or 2 in the bookmark. I'm sure there's an add on for FF that can do the same thing...lol

Firfox used to be my fav but I use lots of tabs, sometimes lots of windows too, and Firefox just uses too much virtual memory. Too many times lately I had to exit the browser all the way to stop slowdowns, freezing. And Firefox just brings up my last opened tabs without asking me if it crashes or is closed down thru Task Manager. What if I was at a website that crashed Firefox..? It didnt do that before 3.6.12. It asked before. Like Chrome asks now...

Firefox seems like its going in the wrong direction for me...like the latest version isnt compatible with the latest version of Roboform.
