You know what? I've never had a problem with IE. I've been annoyed by both Firefox and especially Chrome but IE has been good to me.
Amen to that. I've tried Firefox end Opera but those gave error after error with my university network. IE has always been good enough. C'mon, it's just a browser, it displays web pages.

Chrome because Firefox seemed to get slower and slower every time I used it.

Had some good add-ons which I miss though.

FireFox, mainly 'cause I'd been using Internet Explorer on my laptop since I got the thing. So not only I decided to change to get a sense of something different, but IE just has bugs up the arse and would crash on me every given chance.

I only use Internet Explorer but I'd probably like Firefox more due to my furry status.

Firefox, covers my web browsing needs, has good security and also has good debugging tools for webwork.

Opera 10.5, it's fastest browser right now and easy to customize. Gotta love those mouse gestures too.

On Windows it's Google Chrome, such an excellent browser.

But on Mac, I'd have to say Safari. Blazing fast and reliable.

Chrome

Because I can do
this:
and not worry about when a website's Javascript locks up the page and crashes everything.

Or a flash plugin, or just have the browser leak memory until it crashes (looks at Firefox).

Yes, it's a lot of web pages I have open. I often Multitask and will also open up new links in new tabs, especially on forums. It allows me to keep the core page, and just flick through pages and then close the tabs once I've finished with them.

I can also read something, minimise it and come back to it.

About the only thing I dislike about Chrome is that you can't get a permanent status bar down the bottom. Also the occasional Youtube video pausing halfway through!

IE8...

What?
it works just fine for me and I'm on so many different computers it's not worth installing any other browser just in-case I happen to be there!

now all I need is IE to have a spell checker, like FF.

Chrome. It does everything Firefox does twice as fast.
hip hip hooray !!!

it also uses less system resources.
I like how i have thumbnails of my top visited websites
i like how clean and crisp it is
ohh

and how chrome has the ability to play flash type video, without actually using flash it uses this type of code, something like CSS3

i dont know much, but ive been told its better than flash..

As a web developer, I enjoy Firefox and IE8.

I dislike any web-kit based browser and IE 6 and 7 just give me hives (and I have to support them on all the sites I create)

Firefox is my ultimate browser. It's stable, and highly customisable, and able to run (most) IE-specific applications.

IE is my least favourite, as it's unstable as buggery. Its latest upgrade to version 8 is the most unstable and finicky thing out there, and produces a lot of issues technically. I find it's actually preferable to downgrade IE to eliminate a lot of browsing and connectivity issues.
