Firefox since it came to be.
Only reason it usually slows down is bloating it with too many extensions and improperly fiddling in the config. Couldn't live without FastestFox either, no more copy and paste to look stuff up and much smoother experience. Love it.

I used to use Chrome all the time, I hated it but everything else was too slow. Then I found out about pipelining so now I use Firefox without exception. It's perfect. It never crashes ever, it's almost too customizable, and now that it's fast, what more can I ask for?
Used IE as a kid. Didn't know better. Then I used Firefox for a bit, but I have a really shitty laptop, and it ran a bit heavy for my liking. Then I used Chrome, which suits my purposes. So I'm sticking with that. Still think Firefox is a better browser though.
i did use IE, but after one of the updates (cant remember which one) it was too hard for me to use, so i switched to firefox, and they lived happily ever after, the end.
I started with IE, back in the IE5 days. Couldn't be bothered to switch to FireFox, because my computer couldn't handle it. (I had an old crappy computer back then.) I had a friend who asked me to try Opera, so I gave that a shot. I liked it, but it never rendered stuff properly. After I got a new computer, I was thinking I should try FireFox. However, my IE addiction was still in full force. I found out about Avant Browser, which is pretty cool. It uses the built-in IE rendering engine, but builds the rest of the program like Opera, like ad-block, tabs, and such. (IE didn't have tabs yet at this point.) I used Avant Browser for years, but it was like methadone for my IE heroin. In school, I started using FireFox Portable on my flash drive. It was alright, but it was slower than IE, so I never used it as my main browser. But, I finally was about ready to make my move off of Avant Browser and onto FireFox. However, I never did, because that's right when Chrome came out. I used it and have never looked back. I love the design, functionality, and most of all, the SPEED. I clocked IE, FireFox, and Chrome on the same page of one of my favorite sites. While, FireFox clocked in about twice as fast as IE (not even including a much longer loading time for IE), Chrome is like lightning, around 10 times as fast as IE, on the sites I use. Your mileage may vary, but for me, it's Chrome all the way, and now that Chrome Portable exists, I'm not looking back. I'll occasionally pop open FireFox for a script that doesn't work right on Chrome, but that's rare.
