Opera, allows you to increase speed like no other browser. I can set max server connections to 128.

I love Opera for speed, IE to check web site stuff but 95% of the time I use FireFox because of the AddOns. Just can't live without them.

Firefox for everything. Google's Chrome looks promising, though.

I do that too. Perhaps I should have mentioned IE as well, but the question was about favourite browsers - IE is not something I'd normally associate with them

Firefox all the way.

It allows me to so much more than 'just browse', plus the addons are simply amazing.

Definitely Firefox for all the plugins. I use chrome to view gmail (it screws with firefox for some reason lately). I've also been using Chrome lately to update WordPress sites. Admin updates responds much more quickly for me in chrome than firefox for some reason. Otherwise, chrome is a pain in the rear because it gives up so quickly on sites that take a little longer to load (like weather.com) IE only used to check new website designs.

I only use IE when absolutely necessary - Firefox primarily and running linux I run Konqueror in the background for a "logged out of google" search session so I can get "custom search/what everyone else sees comparison" results.

Firefox by a landslide.

When I first started on the Internet, I used Netscape (read stone-age Firefox). After a hiatus off the Internet, while I moved to Japan and was too busy in construction, I got a new computer and it had IE. I used IE for a few yearfs, until I re-discovered Netscape - which had now become Firefox. It had tabs (that alone made me very happy). Then, plug-ins!

I couldn't live without certain plug-ins. I regularly use S3Fox to manage my videos on Amazon S3. I constantly use FoxClock to keep tabs on US Eastern, US Pacific, UK, and Switzerland time.

Needless to say, IE has been collecting dust for a long time.

Firefox, I like the features and security. But just like many others I use IE to see what my sites look like in it since it's also a very popular browser.

Firefox -always.
However, have used chrome too - not too bad for surfing.
Although, when I first started using the Internet,I used only I.E but now I seldom use it.

Hope this helps,
Thanks

I have used internet explorer in the past, but when firefox came out i made the switch, in my opinion it was safer browsing, as it was easier for hackers to hijack internet explorer 6, now it's up to ie8, I recommend all my customers to use firefox as a must, allowing your computer be less able to be hijacked from virus/spyware, and adaware

I really, really tried to use Firefox last month.

But I got some sort of malware infestation that put me out of commission for a week and lost me three clients.

Not that this is necessarily Firefox's fault, but when I used IE, I didn't get a single virus or piece of malware on my PC for six years.

Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and point while mouthing "look over there."

Google Chrome is by far the fastest and a lot more secure than Firefox... I used to get all kinds of crap from using IE and Firefox no more...

When I'm doing SEO related stuff I may still use Firefox from time to time

Gotta be Firefox. I don't know where I've put the IE shortcut it's been so long since I used it. Even windows has confined it to the folder of icons I no longer use!

I downloaded Chrome a while back but couldn't get into it - it's since been deleted.

For me it's Firefox. I use Ubuntu and this is the only 'main' one that works well on it IMO.

Having said that, I've felt that Firefox has been going down-hill since its version 2 days. But I still prefer it to Opera and IE.
