I use a personally customized Mozilla Firefox, with that Windows Aero transparent glassy look on the browser.
It looks damn good, I must say.
Chrome is faster, Firefox is more customizeable.
EDIT:
With bookmarks on the top, just right of the menu's.

I use Google Chrome. Pretty much Firefox without the massive slowdowns :D

For some reason, Google Chrome doesn't work well on my machine - it takes aged to load a page, freezes when another page is loading, and seems to lag when I switch pages. That said, Firefox recently started freezing up whenever I start a download for reasons known only to itself, heh.

Firefox just can't be beat. Chrome is a pretty close second, I will admit, but it just doesn't seem to interest me.

Oh and the fact that google is trying to take over the world, quite literally, that's probably a contributing factor too.

I'm currently using Opera, it's awesomely fast and I like all the little things like being able to use any search engine from the address bar

I use Firefox 3.6. It's fast and multitudes more customizable than Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

I used to use Chrome, but then I found out Google monitors your search history, and then I was like, "dude...."

And then I switched to Firefox 3 and was like, "Dude!"
Firefox 3.7 Minefield here. It's a touch buggy, being an Alpha build and all, but it's lightning quick. Add-on support is touch and go, but everything I wanted worked fine, so I was happy.

Firefox is good for me, and it's really useful in the field of downloading videos off the Escapist without paying for the Publisher's Club.
It also has tons of add-ons, like scrolling down and automatically loading the next page.

EDIT: I have seven add-ons and it runs fine. It takes about 12 seconds to load, but once you're in it's fine.
12 seconds to load FF?? I have 14 add-ons yet it only takes 4 at the most

I'm running a dual core 2.0GHz processor and thats low end for a desktop, is your processor a dorito?
2.2GHz Dualcore here, desktop, about 3/4 of my HD is full, 3GB RAM...

Firefox hasn't given me any reasons to not be completely pleased with it.
With these in-a-blink page-loads, I honestly don't understand how the internet could be faster in anything else...

...or, more to the point, how some people are even able to judge that loading speed difference between browsers...

I like Firefox, it's massive range of addons give it the most functionality of any browser.

I hear from the number-crunchers that Chrome is slightly faster, but I'd rather have AdBlock, YouTube downloader etc. Plus, FastestFox eliminates some of that difference, and I've never felt that Firefox is slow.

I use Chrome, after switching over from Firefox. Seems to be working well for me.

Firefox works wonders if you don't mind the occasional crash every few weeks. (though it restores your tabs when it crashes so it's all good)

I've tried most browsers and find chrome the best. The speed and simplicity of Safari with the flexibility of Firefox. The built in spell checker is good too.

I use Firefox and Opera. Personally I feel the new Opera is slightly faster, but I just Firefox more often, just cuz.
The great thing is that both these browsers work really well together. They don't interfere in each others work, and neither has given me any problem at all. I use both simultaneously when I'm doing tasks of different natures. I've done speed test b/w them (opening the same site) and 9/10 times opera is faster.
I've also tried chrome but I was so used to working with these 2 browsers I didn't want to go through the trouble of adjusting and customizing another browser.
As long as its no IE its ok
