Which browser do you mostly use?

It would be nice if you could post why you are using a particular browser rather than another.

I am currently mostly using Firefox because of the great extensions available and Mozilla's attention to privacy matters.
As much as I love Google Chrome's user interface and performance, I sometimes get weird latencies with it on my connection.
I am also keeping a close eye on Internet Explorer 9, and I can't wait for the release candidate to come out. It should be a total breakthrough compared to previous versions.
I am currently running IE9 Beta too, but a couple of annoying bugs makes it unsuitable for daily usage. Other than that it's great!

Chrome's been snappier for me than Firefox, so I stick with that.

Safari. Chrome is weird at times, and now it doesn't do h.264 video which is just a stupid part of google's weird war with apple over flash.

Firefox for its adonns - especially "ad-blocker plus" and "tab mix plus". There are also some useful picture tools to scale to fit, also tineye.

Work force me to use IE8. It doesn't even have aspell checker - doh!

About that, if you run Windows 7, check out this extension from Microsoft:

There's also one for Firefox: http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/ ... wmp-plugin

Exactly the same with me.

I use Firefox on my PC and I have to say it is so comfortable for me browsing with it. I also have Google Chrome and Opera installed, but for me Firefox is something else. Although Chrome and Opera are faster, neither could replace Firefox for me. Firefox 4 is coming in near future and currently Beta 10 is available for download. It's what I'm looking forward to the most.

Chrmoe. I like it's ease of use. Like you spell am(in enters amazon), tab and you're already searching.

It's tab management seems ok. They're some things I don't like though.

Caito, does Chrmoe not have spll check avalaible?

Firefox here. I used to be an IE user until I started using Ff at school, which led to my conversion. It fits my casual internet surfer needs perfectly.
