I use Mozilla FireFox, and been using it ever since it first came out. It performs a lot better than Internet Explorer.

I've been using Firefox for a few years now, mainly because of the extensions, knock on wood, but I have never had a major problem with Firefox. Previously I used IE and constantly ran into problems.

I have tried Google Chrome but have not yet seen any reason to make it my full time browser, as I am 100% content with what I am already using.

I use Internet Explorer 7 and hate all the errors which close IE windows.

I like FireFox, but I find some of the buttons to be in places I don't want them, namely the Bookmarks. I like how you can open them up on the side. Having them in the middle is a little obnoxious to me. Apparently, this issue bothers me more than the errors since I still use IE.

What I really miss in Netscape Navigator. I have happy memories about that one.

I've never used Google Chrome, and I have limited experience with Apple Safari.

I should upgrade to IE8- someday....

I like Firefox. I think most developers do. :) I hate IE especially IE 6... full of bugs and we always have to fix something on the websites we're doing just for it to work great with IE 6. :(

Google Chrome works good too. :) Maybe it's my top two when it comes to web browsers. :)

Google chrome, Internet explorer and firefox. Mostly Google chrome, because I set up the igoogel page on it.
Firefox takes long time to open in my computer. Otherwise I like it. Internet explorer is kind of boring to me.

Firefox - preferred choose for huge/heavy site/project. Take some time for start, but work fast, correctly, some how more secure solution compare with IE.

Chrome - best in google services, also fast, but its doesn't so widely recognizable (its correct realization) but its shows some pages differently.

Opera - I was used it long time ago, lot of nice features if you pay time to learn them.

IE - only then I pushed to use it, in work environment. mostly Windows preferred solutions, on corporation level solutions IE prefered.

Of course, Mozilla firefox!

Never Internet explorer because it seems to me as a long time taking browser. It also have many bugs.

Chrome tried, it is a good one BUT it not seemed to me as a ''adult browser'' yet lol. Though this browser is more friendly to google or its other service than other browsers.

Most developer and ICT related person like to use firefox for its some really helpful extensions. It also supports many add-ons like downloder or page rank checker etc.

Please view this image....fix your eyes at the bottom of this page there you can see page rank checker icon and greasemonkey's icon. This is the answer, why? using firefox.

Thanks

I use only the best Mozilla firefox, because the browser doesn't hang up on you or freeze for not reason like IE.

Explorer and FireFox

I am using Google Chrome and like it. The following are some of the things which made me move to Google Chrome.

1. Its extremely simple interface.
2. Efficient tab handling. I often use a number of tabs at a time and IE crash most of the times. Sometimes, Firefox too.
3. I don't need to press arrow keys while typing in url to go to often visited page.
4. I can use the url box as the search box.
5. Efficient pop up blocker. I sometimes see pop ups in IE and Firefox eventhough both show the message pop up blocked.
6. Warning about Malicious sites.
etc...

I use safari. I don't need to complexity in my life of having to switch between browsers for various reasons. I have found that for my surfing habits, safari works great, it's quick to render. And I have found very few sites that don't work with it. In fact, I can't recall anything over the last year plus that didn't work.

I had problems with firefox in the past where it just seemed to leak memory like mad, over time (hours to a day or so) I would have to quit out of firefox because it had almost sucked up all of my memory. This issue may have been fixed, but IU have no reason to go away from safari.

I use Safari on my Mac and Firefox on my PC.

Chrome for google applications. Expecially with application icons on the desktop these are custom configured with SSL to keep my calendar and gmail session private.

I use firefox for everything else mainly because of security. I have extensions that protect me from javascript and flash exploits along with Foxit bookmark tools. I also love the Live Feed RSS reader that acts as a drop down menu under my control bars. The in page search is also far superior to Chrome which doesn't even use a standard keybaord shortcut to activate it. Oh and the search box in the top right corner I have customized with Google, Bing, Webster, Ebay, and Wikipedia. With a click I can search the resources quickly.

At work, its exclusively PC's with IE because I don't have a choice. Our IT staff have a very tight reign on what is on our computers.

At home, I'm running a mix of Mac and PC. I favor Firefox and I think its because I'm an old Netscape user from years ago. I also run Safari on the both the PC and Mac and Chrome on the PC. I have not yet loaded Chrome on the Mac, but I've read good things about it. I've used Opera in the past, but have not used it in quite a while. Its not that I don't like Opera, its just that the other browsers fulfill my needs.

I mostly use Opera. Sometimes I use firefox if I find a page that I need another browser. Like my bank... it only supports IE and Mozilla. So I use it for that. And I can keep firefox for the kids too because they like it better. So Opera is my own personal playground. No worries about my tabs being closed when I am away from the computer. The kids have their own browser and mostly I have mine.

1. I like having my sidebar that collapses and it holds my bookmarks, emails, contacts, widgets, notes, links, downloads, history, info (for the page you are on), and a search feature.

2. The email feature has easy to use filters that automatically sort my email in an easy and effective way. It also has all emails for all my email addresses in one folder. One simple click and I can look at only one email account.

3. The tabbed browsing is great! I know firefox has it and so does chrome, but it makes Opera work better for me.

4. Speed dial. I love this feature. Open a "blank" page and you are presented with a mini view of your favorite websites. You can choose from 2X2 size to 5X5 size. Simply click on a box to add your favorite website. It makes it so easy to remember to check my writing accounts, my social sites and all my blogs. I can't forget one because they are all there.

5. The widgets are pretty neat. I can add widgets for a lot of different things. I have one for facebook and twitter updates, a to do list, google translator, and a simple calendar in there.

Why I don't use Firefox and chrome.

Chrome: It is so slow on my computer and seems a little too simplistic for me. I like the bells and whistles of Opera.

Firefox: I like it, but it doesn't have the email attached to the browser. I like the all in one feature of Opera for that. Plus firefox isn't as fast as Opera.

Safari: my husband introduced me to it and I just don't like the feel of it.

IE: I hate IE. It freezes, shuts down for no reason, and basically has a mind of it's own.

Opera! All the way!

Google Chrome, it is faster lighter (less ram) and offers a much more enjoyable browsing solution than Internet Explorer. Although the controls seem rather thin at the onset right clicking the browser gives you access to any feature available on that given page.

I use Firefox, but that's because I'm a developer.

IE is a pain, and it gets into resource battles if you've also got Windows Explorer running.

Opera seems to be mostly a chic browser. It's okay, but I don't need a browser to be a "pleasant experience". I need it to work.

Safari used to have problems with situations involving iframes in SSL environments, but that's been combed out, and they have a straightforward process for reporting bugs.

Chrome's not bad, although it looks like it' mostly optimized for the O/S that Google is launching to challenge Windows.

Firefox, on the other hand, just works, and it has the most strait-forward API for developing and testing plug-ins.

Plus, if there's a problem with it, it's easier to get through to the developers and talk about it, and get a fix.

I was developing a plug-in, and I ran into a situation where it wasn't clear if it was a problem with Firefox or with my code, so I described the situation to the guys at Firefox, and it turned out to be a bit of both... I was trying to pass a flag with a bitmap value to the API browser to do something that it made sense for it to be able to do, but which it turned out it had never explicitly been made to do, yet the documentation did sort of imply that it should in theory be able to, and the next thing I know I'm getting an update notice from Firefox to download and install the latest update-release and restart the browser, and *then* I get an email from the Firefox developers saying that they'd decided that it was a good idea to actually have that as a definitely supported property of the API, and that it had been easy for them to put it into the now-latest release, and that I should just download and update my browser.

I mean...they're all okay... except for IE, which is cursed through no fault of its own by Microsoft corporate policy of how software integration shall work according to the powers-that-be from on high. Safari works, and maybe Chrome will become useful for developers, although I kinda doubt it because one must deal with the time and delays of getting every little thing through Google's endless pier review committees, and yes, I know Opera's pretty... my mom and my sis both switched to Opera as soon as they tried it... but I have to get real work done on the level of being a developer, so I use Firefox.
