Default What is Your Favorite Web Browser?

You've seen the first browser poll by SpaceMan++, now I'm asking what your favorite browser is.
Mine is Firefox.

FireFox (Vulpix?) FTW. So many add-ons and other things you can do to customize it that you couldn't do in IE.

IE. Favorite used to be Firefox, but I decided it doesn't really matter. The only time I use other browsers is to test things, like my site and things that don't work in IE. Oh yeah, and for DownThemAll!.

Safari. All web browser are essentially the same so I just prefer Safari whenever I get the chance to use it. It has a very sleek look. Not like Google Chrome's awkward limited interface.

That Chrome vote is from me. However, I got Mozilla Firefox recently and I find it to be HAWT. I believe I have a new favorite.

I prefer Firefox because I use Firebug/Chatzilla on it and because I the design in general. Nothing wrong with IE in my book, though.

I like my firefox more. And disliked IE for having so many popups and what not (Albiet that was an older IE). So I just stick with FF now.

FYREFAWKS! IE ARE LOSE! FIREFAWKS ARE WIN! MOAR LIEK INTERNET A SPLODER!!
Seriously, though, I always use something other than IE when I can (not at school because almost all of the computers only have IE 7 -_-), and Firefox is certainly my favorite, though on slower computers I prefer to use K-Meleon and sometimes Google Chrome. Sleipnir is a pretty cool browser that can use either Trident, IE's engine, and Gecko, Firefox's engine, interchangeably, and it feels a lot like IE 6, but a lot more secure and a lot less crap. :3 Oh, and a little feature called tabs.
Lynx is my favorite for text browsing and Flock's cool for social networking. Avant and Maxthon look pretty cool, and Enigma is an easy-to-use IE alternative. Not that I have 15 browsers installed or anything.

My teacher recommended our class to use Google Chrome. It goes really fast. And that's good.

Chrome. All else suck. Just sayin'





Well, maybe not, but I moving from IE to Firefox and then using Chrome, it's the better of the three IMO.
It's faster and more convienient.

Threads merged (or will be in 2 seconds). There's no need to delete a thread when you can merge 'em.

I switched to Firefox from IE 7 back in 2007 when I started using Ubuntu 7.04. Last year I switched to Chrome, and currently ride the Dev channel. Firefox is nice and all, but its bloated. I generally dislike IE, and Opera really is fun for playing around (I have never used Safari for more than 2 seconds).

Edit: Ya'll have to revote now, but at least this means more data (and no repeat posters).

I use Safari. It's not too reliable, in my opinion Explorer is better, but I've gotten used to it.

In fact my favorite browser is IE. IE8 is quite reliable, and when it does crash it restores your browsing session. I'm just stuck with Safari, though.

Firefox is not my favourite browser anymore. Now it is Google Chrome, as it is the fastest among the ones I previously tried, and takes much less loading time than all of them.

It went from Safari, to IE8, to Firefox, to Chrome. Therefore, Chrome is my favorite

I let the programs decide for them self, I run a visual speed test on IE, Firefox, Safari 5, and Opera 10, Safari was fastest so I use it.

But when IE9 comes out I think I will have to give it a try.

I used to use Firefox because I thought it used too much RAM and now I use Chrome and I think it uses more. Although I like how Chrome was ready for the Youtube HTML 5 switch.

A slight bit - Youtube HTML5 uses the H.264 format, which Firefox doesn't support for several (good) reasons. It will support Google's own WebM format, though, so that does work starting with 3.7 I think.

I dislike Chrome.

I use IE for the most part, although I do like how Safari looks, yet I can't really use it properly on this computer. I'd switch to FireFox like everyone tells me to, but A. IE has all my plug-ins/history/options and stuff, and B. I don't like it as much.

Also I use Opera for the sole purpose of browsing with my DSi/DSi XL/Wii.

...Okay, I admit it, but I'm kind of stuck with it because if I download another browser I'll probably use up half of my free disk space. :I Although it does look nice, and you can easily customize it without having to download any plugins.

I'll probably try Chrome once I get my laptop.

Chrome. I like its simple format. All I need is a bookmark (favorites) bar.

This may be the main reason I don't use Firefox. ._.
