Firefox is my browser of choice (when it isn't deciding to hang or be a resource pig).  I only use IE when the application demands it.

I use Google Chrome. Firefox is good for developing websites, with extensions like Firebug, so I use that too.

Depends upon the usage. For browsing, Safari.

For web app development: all of them!

Firefox is my primary browser (I *LOVE* all the plug-ins) and Chrome is my secondary. I couldn't run Internet Explorer even if I wanted to, having Linux as my only Operating System. Not that I miss it... :P

Hey, I fired up lynx a few months ago just to prove a point about a site that had gorgeous graphics but all the text content was in images.

I'm using Firefox because of all the extensions that I'm used to.
Today I read in a computer magazine that many extensions are available now for Chrome as well. So I thought I'd give it a try.
So here's my first post using Chrome. Not bad at all.

Yeah, that wasn't the case when Chrome first came out, but now if it is available in FF, it is available in Chrome. Makes Chrome that much better IMO.

Tried Chrome a couple of times... not bad, but still something about it I don't like (haven't put my finger on what yet, though)...

Tried Safari on a PC - meh.  What it has for image rendering (fantastic!!!) was countered by it's inability to support GreaseMonkey (yeah, there is CreamMonkey, but that isn't all that great)

Looks like Firefox is the winner.
