What's your browser of choice? I've collected so many bookmarks using Flock that I now find out that you can't freaking export them.

Safari. Best rendering browser I've seen, and fastest I've used. Some minor javascript problems on more complex scripts, but otherwise perfect.

I'm a firefox user, I feel more comfortable with the general layout and I gain an overall better browsing experience compared to other browsers I have used. I do occasionally use IE7, it has a nifty little built in RSS feature and the interface is fairly accessible. I make a habit of exporting my bookmarks from firefox to an ext. hard drive, just in case. :)

Firefox since ~0.4 release (back when it was called "Phoenix") and Opera on rare occasions.

I prefer Firefox/Win. Firefox/Mac is okay but it seems a bit buggy. Personally I can't live without many of the Firefox extensions that are out there. I like Safari's text rendering but Safari doesn't really do anything special to get me to switch to it from Firefox. IE7 is also pretty slick and is a good solution for most of those poor people that don't realize that Firefox exists. From an implementation point of view, Opera is the best...but I don't use it.
I guess to summarize...most of the browsers out there are pretty good, even IE, its all up to personal preference. If you want extensibility though, I'd go with a Firefox variant.

I'm on Firefox. I actually prefer Opera's responsiveness and speed, but I've grown to rely so heavily on FF's great extension's (notably Adblock w/ regexp and also the truly amazing Firebug) that I find myself unable to switch.

Firefox is great, it became my standard. However as a designer i have to always preview sites on all the browsers and platforms.

Safari. When I switched to a Mac, I switched all the way.
When I'm using Linux or Windows, it has to be Firefox though.

Recently switched to Firefox as my everyday/default browser, and couldn't be happier that I did. I used to use Avant Browser, which is really just a front-end interface for the IE engine, because it offered Tabs and some other pretty nifty features that weren't in IE (at least v6). I spend almost a solid day customizing and tweaking Firefox 2 to the way I like it, and now I can't picture myself going back to IE. That, plus the fact that I am also a web designer, and IE is the most ignorant of all when it comes to following web standards.

I'll add that when I was a windows user I was 100% firefox as well.

Firefox if nothing else for "Web Developer", FireBug and AdBlockPlus.
The tabs misbehave (or at least don't do what I expect of them) in Opera plus it has quite a draconian approach to some JS, like IE and Safari.
All the other browsers just seem to have quirks from what I think it should be doing -- no doubt because I've been using FF for a while but it does make it noticeably difficult to use other browsers when you're constantly thinking "Why the hell are you doing that? That's not what Firefox would do, you PoS browser! Get a raging clue!"

FireFox for day to day stuff, and Flock when I'm doing research or blogging (for the snippets, integrated RSS and snippets).

Firefox. No question. The extensions are wonderful. I feel terrible when I use Safari and can't block Flash.

Safari by default, but often find myself using both Firefox and Safari at the same time for different sites.

Flock. I like that it adds my bookmarks to my del.icio.us. And the flickr integration is pretty cool.

FIrefox on Windows if I get a choice.

Firefox is second... i've included add-ons to make firefox behave like opera. It comes close.

I used Flock for quite a while, but had to drop it when it never made the transition to Firefox 2.0. I'm surprised to see that it's barely had a release since then.
Firefox is where its at. I enjoy Safari, but can't give up Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug.

I use IE 7 for compatability of a lot of stuff, but mostly I use firefox because it's far far better at handling multiple tabs

Safari, with the extensions I've installed for it there is no going back. Firefox just seems really seperate to OS X and doesn't feel integrated into the OS but kinda stuck on instead.
@phantomdata: Try SafariPlus for flash blocking, works like a charm.

Flock snippets rock. But it crashes on me a LOT (hey, it's still in beta) so I use Firefox when I'm doing media heavy surfing - like watching 15 videos in 15 tabs. Heh.

Mainly Firefox for me.
My site stats show the the visitors are still majority IE6 / 7, but the second most favourite browser is definitely Firefox ahead of Safari.

Safari for now, but I'll be switching to Firefox as soon as it (Hopefully) gets Cocoa. Camino is completely useless for me. It provides nothing that I would want to use Firefox for in the first place.
Shiira 2.0 beta is shaping up very nicely it seems, but right now it's just way too buggy.

I use Firefox. Although it's not perect, for example memory leaks, and for some reason using CPU cycles when "idle", it's the browser that fits my needs. I don't plan an changing any time soon.
