    Google Chrome. Sometimes Safari. IE sucks, Mozilla gives me headaches, and I haven't tried others.

    It took me a while to stop using IE for some reason, but now Googgle Chrome is my preference.

    I use Opera, or Chrome when that's not able. I used to use Firefox, but it's generally become too troublesome for me.

    I prefer IE8 for most things. I upgraded to 9 but I didn't like it at all and it was slower. When I do a lot of streaming I usually move to Mozilla.

    I have pretty much used IE since Win-95 came out. Then one day I found Chrome and never looked back (unless its one of those rare times when Chrome can't do something IE can).

    That's because IE is compatible to EVERYTHING.

    I used to use IE, then I switched to Firefox, then Chrome and now I'm using Firefox. Here's what I think of all the browsers:
    - IE is alright at first, but it eventually slows down
    - Chrome is awesome, but the flash player annoyed me a little
    - Firefox is my favourite because it now looks good, it's an excellent web browser, it has the coolest logo and I like what the Mozilla company do.

    Firefox, the obvious choice.

    yes, I use Firefox on both Linux and Windows. Opera mini on phone.
    Why?
    well, I started with Opera, but due to flash problems in past, I've moved on to Chrome, but after time, I was tired of google's special cookies, and not beeing tweekable enough, so I moved on Firefox, which with I'm quite happy.

    Formerly Firefox, though I use it as a backup or when Chrome won't load something.

    I use Firefox, I have come to rely on a lot of different third party add-ons, most of which have nothing to do with surfing the internet, and are more business like in nature.

    I use the default browser for the OS. It eliminates all compatability issues with the system and prevents crashes that are typical of using alternate browsers. Also, it is fun to play with toys that all have different browsers, instead of trying to make them conform to some sick utopian dream.

    Typing anything in IE is a pain.

    Though I really do like Firefox, I've been spreading more love with Chrome and Safari.

    I like how I'm trying to defend IE while using Chrome.
