I use Opera. I can't stand the sluggishness that is Internet Explorer.

I mainly use Firefox, but it has it's idiosyncrasies that make me vow to switch, but I'm too invested in all the customizations and my familiarity with it. As a web developer, though, I have a few versions of IE, Opera, Safari, and Google Chrome installed.

I like Fx too, but Opera is my favourite. Safari and Chrome fall into the "meh" category.

I use IE7 just because it's what I have. But I need to explore (no pun intended) other options because IE7 crashes more often than I can stand here lately.

Gotta support the local companies, eh? I've always liked Opera, I just never got around to switching to it. It does have some pretty aggressive cashing features that make it quite speedy. I do use Opera Mini on my Blackberry, though.

I didn't know Opera was Norwegian until half a year after I started using it. I used Fx until I tried Opera. I like Flock too, which is based on Fx I believe.

I roll with the fox. I haven't had any major problems, just a few annoyances, but I'm too invested to switch to anything else.

Firefox for me on my main computer - I haven't installed it on my new laptop yet, it's only a week old though so I'll get around to it. I really like the add-ons to Firefox, especially the 'Clear Private Data' tab that opens every time you close the browser.

I use Firefox and see the potential of Google Chrome. As I'm converting to mac I will have safari on it's 'true' platform. An interesting fact, over 80% of my site (roughstock)'s users use Internet Explorer which is the worst windows platform browser (Safari is worse on a windows computer though). Since I have to make sure my site is usable on all browsers, I have used most of them.

The IT guy at work suggested I try downloading IE8(beta) to eliminate some of my issues. I've got it on my laptop now, and so far so good. I'm waiting just a bit before trying it on the desktop since thats my main (and new) computer.

Well - I think it was just in mind of keeping me with what I had sort of. And .... so far it's working great.
