I started using Chrome yesterday (in order to participate in rbutr) and I like it a lot, though I'd been very happy with Firefox for a long time.

Which browser do you use the most?

(Poll will be up shortly. I added some I'd never heard of which I found on Wikipedia's timeline of browsers.)
 
Firefox. It feels like home. Though I also use Chrome and will probably use it more and more.
 
I had been using Google Chrome but in Linux, chrome/chromium seems to have some issues with the correct rendering of some types of web pages. I don't like the direction that Chrome is headed anyway.

I now use firefox and it works perfectly. If my computer was more primitive I would probably use Seamonkey.
 
Safari. I am a tab whore, and it functions the best for me (though its been a while since I ran comparisons). I went from Opera to Firefox, then Firefox to Chrome. TBH, I forget the reasons. I then went from Chrome to Safari because of memory management when dealing with tons of tabs open all the time.

I have Firefox, Chrome, and Opera installed on my system (and Explorer too). I mostly use Opera. Been using that for a few years and am used to it. I sometimes flip to Firefox for certain sites that don't play well with Opera, and on occasion may use Chrome or even IE depending on what I'm trying to do.
 
I always have Opera and Safari both open.
I switched from Firefox to Chrome and then Chrome to Opera for speed reasons.
I like Opera's extensions and the speed with which it seems to load pages, but if I have more than 30 or so tabs Opera starts to bog down, so Safari is kind of my 'page repository' and often has about 60+ tabs open. Like Tsukasa, in my experience Safari is the nicest at dealing with an inordinate amount of open tabs and windows. Also some sites I need to use don't work in Opera so I have to use Safari.
 
Firefox with DuckDuckGo to search. All in the magnificent Cinnamon flavour of Mint 13.
 
Firefox, as it permits me to force different fonts and colors. Small letters on white backgrounds make my eyes hurt.
 
Chrome all the way. It does everything I want it to. I very much like the way it synchronises my bookmarks between my work computer (running Windows) and my MacBook Pro. I use Gmail, and while I've tried a number of different mail clients, none of them beat having a Chrome tab open to the web page.

I keep a standard set of tabs open in Chrome, so if I'm opening a page for just one thing I'll usually use Safari.

Firefox is good, but it isn't as good to me as Chrome is.
 
My last 2 laptops, I had been using LunascapeWP, a browser which lets you switch between rendering engines - for IE (Trident), Firefox (Gecko) and Chrome/Safari (Webkit) - on the fly; its main drawback being the versions for each were about a year out-of-date. With my new laptop, I'm only using Firefox, mostly for the add-ons (O holy Ad-block! blessed art thee among add-ons). :wackynotworthy:
 
Chrome. Which is OK but I prefer IE's user interface ie how I access/manage bookmarks and other options.

I can't believe Firefox is starting to run away with this. For me it was as reliable as the weather.

Frankly I've never heard of most of the rest. Tried Opera once, hated the user interface.
