Firefox,for me. I've used it off and on since FF 2.0(awesome)!!!! Now it's been my browser of choice with the installment of the last few versions.

Google Chrome for me... even with the privacy concerns of Google (which they must address). I do not see much of real difference in performance among the latest FF beta and any of its post 6.0 versions. I switched to Chrome after Firefox 7.0.1 mostly because of slow performance, high system's resources consumption, lack of support for my prefered add-ons like Google Toolbar, huge inconsistencies, annoyances and incompatibilities with extensions, constant crashes, a too fast changing browser, lack of serious support,... It is true, Chrome is always in Beta, uses large amount or resources too, and seems to be constantly changing too, but 'till now without the FF problems, ...and faster.

Hey, fast changes do not mean necessarily that they are meaningful and useful (this goes for FF as well as Chrome), they are changes just for the sake of change, not to improve. Chrome is safe, a lot faster than Firefox, highly customizable (although it could use a little more flexibility), most of the preferred extensions on Firefox have been ported to Chrome, good support for Web Apps, etc. As I posted before, it is a good idea to keep Firefox handy, just is case, but not anymore as the primary browser.

Microsoft is improving, I give them that, but they have a lot to do... I have used early IE 10 on Widows 8 Develper's Preview and it promises, but there is a long road to walk.

Safari... not a chance! Bad browser!
Opera... so, so... it must be more compliant, but it is still on the game.

I like where Opera is, but I like better the direction it's headed...

Just for the record...I keep a copy of Netscape Navigator that I like to dust off occasionally.  Noteworthy that it conforms to almost every tool on the net still.  I really enjoy using RealPlayer...I use an old 11 version that I can't imagine I will replace.

The Netscape thing causes me to wonder how much of the hype over newer browsers is really important.  At least with Opera, the improvements are geared to added features.  Support is good, and I have an easy time with the interface.  That's a personal user thing, so...

I use Pale Moon most of the time but do like Comodo Dragon. At work the only browser I use is Opera on my flash drive.
