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).

Safari for general browsing, and Camino for Development.

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.

Safari.

Under Win, it is Firefox.

Safari on Mac (Firefox is just too slow). Though I do miss my favourite Firefox extensions.

FIrefox on Windows if I get a choice.

Opera.

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

Safari and Camino, Firefox on the Mac is too clunky. with VPC it's IE7 (almost bearable) and Firefox.

Firefox on Mac and Win.

Safari seems to drag my iBook down too much.

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

Firefox no doubt the best

Firefox

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.

Firefox 2.x on Mac. Still a few compatibility issues on some sites with Safari.

Just because no one has mentioned it yet, I use OmniWeb most of the time, then Camino, Flock, Safari, Firefox, Opera (in order of time used).

Firefox is mine.

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.

internetz explorer for me!!

>.>

Rich is trying to incite Microsoft hatred. Hehe. To thoz Internetz explorez out there: firefox rulez! Wakaka - ya'll got PWNED! Noobs!

*Note: Please ignore this highly inflammatory remark - IE is starting to get better ... really it is. Really!

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.

Firefox

In order of preference:
Mac:

Camino
Safari
Firefox (mainly for web dev toolbar)

PC:
Firefox
IE (only when I need to check a site design)

opera, and firefox as 2nd

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.
