Mostly Opera when I'm at home, but I also use IE, FF and Chrome on occasions, and for different things. E.g. at home I only use FF for iPlayer.

edit: Poll needs to be multichoice !

I use Firefox for various ad-ons
- NoScript (avoids running Javascript on sites unless you explicitly allow it)
- HttpsEverywhere ( tries forcing sites to use the more secure HTTPS )
- AdBlock Plus (blocks advertising banners)

But it was getting very buggy recently and Chrome seems a little faster.
If Firefox gets any more unstable/resource hungry, Chrome would be my next choice.

Firefox 15 Beta Tackles Memory Leaks

Firefox 15 beta boasts support for Opus audio format, reduces add-on memory leaks

Think it's getting a builtin PDF reader update aswell.

May actually be worthy of a new number!!!!!

Firefox isn't the same woman I fell in love with. I want to like this new IE9 that Microsoft keeps harping on about but theres just so much I hate about it. Yes Im sure it can handle hardware acceleration but stop asking me to disable my addons or ill cut your throat. Not worth the effort.

Could a mod edit this
I think he described firefox and type chrome by mistake

I used chromium once
It asked me to fill in my details so it would auto do it on sites
I said ohh that's a good idea

It asked me for my credit card details
It didn't fúcking get them
Closed browser. Firefox, I'm sorry

Don't like the idea of my credit card details on saved on my computer

Chromium dev build 23.0.1232.0

I wouldn't even lump chromium and chrome in the same category.

Firefox, mostly for Selenium IDE addon.

Google can't know anything you don't tell them. If you don't have anything to hide, don't worry about it.

eh - no
I used Firefox for years and found it to start to cripple the browsing experience I was having - always slow to load and unless I unistalled and reinstalled it and its add ons then it became worse than IE - and that's saying something
Firefox was a great alternative to IE a few years ago but now I just find Chrome to do what I want and it to do and I just find it by far the easiest browser to use

Firefox all the way for me. I tried to like Chrome, but there were far too many annoyances with it to make it my default browser. It's missing too many addons I regularly use (notably noscript), and other addons such as AdBlock don't work as well as they do in Firefox.

The URL bar in Chrome doesn't even come close to Firefox's aptly titled "Awesome bar", there's no default RSS compatibility (I had to search for over an hour to get working RSS drop-down bookmarks), and the extreme customization I have in Firefox via the about:config command just isn't there in Chrome; I either need an addon to do trivial things, or just plain can't do them at all.

Firefox nightly 64 bit is a superb browser, IE I don't like, Chrome is not up to it for me.

This is due to the Opera Turbo feature

Safari for me. Very smooth, fast and doesn't let me down.

I used chrome but couldn't take the Oh No Jim he is dead messages anymore when the flash player kept crashing, very frustrating.

Firefox used to be my favorite until i discovered the powers of Safari.

I really like the Opera Speed Dial.

I presume other browsers have something similar, but I found it first on Opera. Now all my Internet devices automatically sync changes I make to my Speed Dial, and I rarely have to type a web address!

Opera. Very fast, love the built-in mouse gestures.

bpb101

didnt think opera would get as much votes as it has

mike65

Opera for the most part, FF for certain sites - mainly the guardian.
