I don't really care. The speed at which a page loads is largely dependent on how fast your internet speed is anyways. The skinniest browser in the world isn't going to help your 56k modem.

Firefox and Chrome are my browsers of choice.
I stopped using Internet Explorer a loooooong time ago

I use Chrome because it's much faster, the interface is cleaner, its has all the extensions/add-ons that I need, the URL bar is a search bar...and did I mention that it's fast?

Mozzila MINEFIELD.
Beta browser that is incredibly fast, and isn't even the full release. All the add-ons of Firefox with the streamlining of chrome :3.
EDIT: It's also faster than Chrome for anyone wondering, with the latest Safari being just slightly ahead of this.

I do not prefer any of the currently existing browsers that are available on windows.
Reason: None of them satisfies ALL of the following requirements:
- lightweight (including dependencies)
- comfortable. I don't mean fancy features. Just basic stuff like a bookmarks sidebar for example.
- clean and simply UI, or failing that a customizable UI
- not buggy
- respects OS-colorscheme (no skinning and no custom colors)
- not based on microsofts engine
Out of all browsers, older versions of opera probably come close, but the issue with opera is that it fails to respect the OS-colorscheme (it looks like shit on a dark desktop and a lot of stuff is even unreadable). K-Meleon also comes close, but lacks a bookmarks sidebar, and is incompatible with my keyboard layout (and also offers no way of fixing that).
For now, i'm stuck with my custom version of firefox 3.5. I'll just stick with that and never update again until a browser exists that satisfied the above requirements.

Safari for me, and a whole two other people. Yahhhhh, High Five? Its mostly cos I use a Mac (please don't hit me Escapist peeps). I used to use Firefox but found that to become bloated and slow. I had a little stint with Opera but ultimately I still use Safari. I tried Chrome and found it to be brilliant, but no better than Safari, and considering they both run on the WebKit engine that doesn't surprise me.
I use firefox, I tried getting into chrome but wasn't really feeling it so I went back to firefox.
Chrome, I just switched out from using firefox, despite firefox having a better range of plugins. (someone please put up the Internet explorer De-motivational "Internet explorer, the No.1 browser for downloading a better browser")
