Wait! I'm the only one using Safari???
To be honest I really don't like Safari. I've had as many problems with Safari being lame as I've had with past versions of IE, so I also use Opera if I need to browse on my Mac. Only downer is it's super ugly on the Mac :/

I use chrome.
Had firefox before but it started crashing every five minutes. Don't know why and reinstalling didn't work ;_;

I used to use Firefox, but moved to Chrome just because I find it to be lightweight and a lot faster. I do keep Firefox around though because not all websites are compatible with Chrome yet. I have the rare issue with it.

Firefox, Opera and Chrome, although I dislike chrome for its security problems.
I need multiple browsers to test my websites, scripts. etc., so.

I use Opera, mostly because I like how I can get automatic updates from my RSS feeds and it can manage my email. So yep, I'm lazy as hell

Chrome - I switched when it was much faster than Firefox, and stayed because it was awesome, handles and shares bookmarks easily between PCs and has a very streamlined interface that gives me maximum screen real estate :D

Still have Firefox for those rare occasions when a web page is too archaic to work with Chrome, or for the odd utility plugin for special uses.

Internet Explorer 9.

It's free (bear in mind it's from Micro$haft) It works, there's no screen clutter unlike the old ones and yes I can drag tabs around or out the window if I like AT LAST.

A question for anyone out there who knows, what's the thing about different browsers being "faster" than others? It's not like I ever had a problem with that, I click a page and bang, it's there. Same for loading the program. Does it only apply to people who run the browser on 386 or something?

I've got Chromium on my Ubuntu install, but I've not made the switch from Firefox yet despite it being an awful memory hog. I just can't stand the tabs at the top of the screen.
My main computer is a netbook, my gaming PC is nice but not portable. I just love chromium for the light requirements and the lack of a bottom bar. If you want to save a bit of screen room there's a firefox skin called 'stratini stripe point nine' that's pretty good.
If I'm after screen space I just run in full screen mode, more space than with Chrome and when I want a proper browser back I just hit F11 :)

Finally an interesting poll! IE has gotten bad to the point where using it simply annoys me. I currently use Chrome as it seems to be the fastest browser than runs on my PC, but that doesn't mean I don't love Firefox.

I use Avant, not the most widely used it seems but i just prefer it over the other browsers that are out there.

I used to use Internet Explorer exclusively, mainly because it's what I've used all my life, not to mention StumbleUpon. But now I use Chrome, because I wanted to see what it was like. It was a little slow while it was still working out the kinks, but it runs great now, and I love it more than IE after only a few days.

OT: Safari, I like it.
Most of those are over a year old. Nice one on being a pedant -.-
Haha it isn't pedantic to say something that every single person who uses these forums should know.
