What Browser do you Use?

What browser do you use and why?

I recently gave up Firefox for Nightly Webkit and it's a lot smoother. Not exactly what I'm looking for as a keyboard-centric user but it works great and is speedy fast.

So, what are you surfing with?

    IE 7.

    It does what I need a browser to do.

    Mozilla Firefox, I've been using it for 2 versions now and can't go back to IE. After Google Chrome works out the bugs in a few editions I might venture over and see how she runs, but for now I don't see me changing.

    Firefox. I can't live without all these extensions/awesome bar/keyword quick searches.

    Opera. I forget why I started using it, but it's habit now. Looks purdy, runs fastish, that's fine by me.

    Firefox because of the Treed Tab and Linky extensions. I'm bugging my friend on the IE8 team to include features like that.

    Guys you realize there are other browsers with mouse gestures. Opera had them first, for fuck's sake.

    I mean I use Firefox but if that's the only reason you've got...

    I use firefox, mainly because I don't need much out a a browser and I discovered when my computer was loaded with malware that it could operate while IE7 could not. I also like the awesome bar and Stumble quite a bit.

    I tried but have no intention of ever using mouse gestures. I have a keyboard for that.

    I love Opera for the Speed Dial alone, but sometimes it won't load sites properly and I have to get angry. Also, it needs to get a damn in-browser spellchecker already.

    Firefox hands down

    Used Chrome for a bit, good and better than IE, but didn't do the things that firefox did. Win

    I use IE for day to day, and firefox for web development (along with everything else for cross browser checks).

    Firebug ftw.

    What about 'preferring to use Firefox'? That seems like a pretty good reason.

    Opera fucks up constantly on my machine. It's like clockwork, every hour or so it will just say "Oh I remembered that I hate you" and just shut down.

    I find Zotero to be the #1 extension that will keep me using Firefox. It's incredibly useful and made following the democratic primary and presidential campaign much easier.

    The AutoPager extension is slowly replacing antipagination for me since I can configure it to work on sites that the latter doesn't support with a little bit of effort and lets me specify the content that is loaded. My setup for Penny-Arcade:
