I can't use Internet Explorer 8 since it crashes every time I open it so after that I gave up. I use Firefox and Opera mostly though I do also use Avant and it's sister program Orca which are pretty good in some ways but like all browsers they have their problems. Chrome doesn't appeal to me for some reason but I do have it on my laptop just in case all the others I use stop working. I always keep the previous versions of the programs I have just in case something is wrong with any updated version and backup my bookmarks/favourites once every couple or so weeks.
Disagree with an opinion just say so but don't be a dick about it.

Firefox. Never had a problem with it, and it even blocks those pesky sidebar ads on facebook!
Also, before when I was using IE, I would have a lot of trouble registering for any site that had a captcha. That's the reason I tried FF in the first place--frustration.

Safari. Firefox if I run into a badly coded web site that isn't standards based.

I once applied for a job as a mustard cutter.

But unfortunately I wasn’t quite good enough.

Chrome on a low end laptop running vista. IE7 was totally unusable through speed. Have used Firefox in the past but no reason to change from chrome. Quick, easy, reliable.

I use Chrome. I don't really care about add-ons and suchlike, but I do like the handy-dandy Ctrl+B.

I primarily use Firefox on my desktop, but I have most other major browsers installed should I need them.
For my netbook, I use SRWare Iron. 'Tis an improved version of Chrome. It has an integrated ad blocker and it doesn't send usage data to Google.

Chrome does not allow me to install certificates. I need those certificates, so I don't use Chrome.

Using Chrome on top of Linux Mint 8. I still keep Firefox installed, since there are a few sites which Chrome has issues with, but as long as Chrome keeps coming along, and incorporates some time-saving features from Firefox such as instant searching when typing (press Ctrl-F first? Pfft!), I may make a permanent swich to Chrome.

Oh and it is significantly faster for me.

I use Firefox almost exclusively for everyday browsing, but when it comes to online forms I sometimes find FF falls over and IE works far better. I think it has more to do with the site developers developing for IE rather than the other browsers.
I tried Chrome, but it's a bit minimalist for me. Opera is a bit too slow and the reflow of css is just annoying.
