Firefox 2 is the way to go for me! :3

Firefox 3.5. I don't like the horrendous amounts of CPU and RAM it uses, but extensions are simply a must-have. It's also the only browser whose interface I've been satisfied with, especially when it comes to blocking ads.

What's with people using IE? IE is not a web browser, it's 1) a tool for downloading a web browser and 2) a security hole the size of Lake Michigan.

Before I discovered YouTube, I would listen to online radio stations. Virtually all of the browser-based stations (as opposed to stations that used an external program) required IE for some reason. Of course, this was back when a lot more people used IE, but what is it about Internet radio that made it fail in other browsers?

When I tried to access an Internet radio station from Linux, it gave me an error saying that it wasn't available on Macs

Well, considering Mac OS X is Unix-based... maybe it would also fling that "not available for Macs" message at you if you tried it on FreeBSD or something

Firefox 3.6b4. Works well enough for me.
IE8. On the other two computers, just because.
Chrome. Screwed around with it for a bit.

The main browser that I use is Mozilla Firefox (currently using version 3.5). I also have Opera installed though, sometimes I use it if I feel like using something different .

More likely " anything that isn't IE must be a Mac".

My day to day OS is Mac OSX, so my usual browser of choice is Safari 3 (as it's usually more responsive than Firefox is).

If I'm using Windows, I use Firefox 3.whatever - I let it update as it needs to.

This, except for the Chrome part.

I recently learned an interesting fact that Firefox does not display empty image placeholders, which show up to the rest of the world as broken/empty image boxes. I found a website that is full of them, making the site look ugly and cluttered, and it turns out the webmaster didn't know they showed up because he only used Firefox. Just goes to show you, it's important to check in multiple browsers, even when you have Firefox!

I use Firefox 3.5 primarily, I prefer it over the other browsers out there. IE isn't any good in my opinion, and Chrome looks goofy to me. I use all three in case I do some web development just to make sure everything looks right.

I have this. Since I do website design, I have to test my site for all the people who feel like being different. Firefox is my browser of choice, but I use Chrome when I just want to do something fast and don't want to start up this huge application (aka. FF).

FF3.5.6 but not by my choice. Apparently FF2 is no longer supported by Adobe Flash Player 10 or something so when I had to reinstall everything and I tried having FF2 again, I couldn't install flash player, which, you know, is pretty IMPORTANT. So I had to go up to 3.5.x. And yes, that nearest neighbor image rendering is annoying, but now I realize how many people use that shadowed font. One nice thing I've found is that resizing a page also resizes videos, so I can view videos larger if I want. Though it hurts my cpu...

Firefox nearly all the time (Currently 3.6b5). I like my extension collection far too much to get used to a new browser.

I use Chrome to play with Google Wave on my laptop since my laptop's rather slow and its Javascript engine is faster than FF's, but that's the only exception.

Firefox and I'm considering Chrome now that it has an ad blocker.

I'm partial to Firefox, I've been using it for the past 3-odd years. I have FF3.5 on my laptop. My desktop is rather ancient and runs Opera better than FF.

hahaha you're getting a mac how could you not use safari you dolt!!

I've not fired up Lynx lately, and have been screwing around seeing how things load in Classilla. Firefox is still my main, IE's been mostly phased out, and Chrome sees the second most use time on the laptop. Still use Opera for flash, though. Once I get the G4 I'll probably try Safari out and see how it is... and stick with it if I'm satisfied enough.

Chrome, but occasionally I'll find a site which is unsupported for whatever reason, and briefly switch to IE.
