I've been using Opera for years now. I'm on an old Windows XP computer that won't let me upgrade IE or get FF, but I have the latest version of Opera oddly. Also, it has imbedded irc chat in the browser. I'm happy.

FF Rocks....The add ons are awesome such as web developer and ardvark, both come in handy and i utilize extensively. Also very easy to use and manage and after I upgraded to 3.5 form 3.0.11 I was even happier. I don't think I will ever use anything else for my daily needs. The others will be utilized for browser tests only.  |

Yeah, I can't wait till the day we can stop testing sites for IE6 - then again, by the time that happens, IE11 will be out, and we'll be complaining about having to keep IE8 around for testing.  Google ChromeFrame for Internet Explorer. |

Still trying to figure out how to keep IE6 available for testing purposes.
My current understanding is that installing IE8 will block IE6 from running. In other words, I will need to remove IE8 in order to test on IE6! That is unacceptable, if true -- another brain-dead action by MS. I don't have the machine capability to run virtual machines, but I do have a dual boot to Linux (Ubuntu). Is there a good emulator for IE6 that faithfully reproduces it, warts and all? It could run either on Windows XP or Ubuntu. If not, I'm just going to have to stick with IE6 and ignore IE8 (which I would only use for testing, anyway).
How do other web developers deal with this -- to get the ability to test on multiple IE versions at once? I don't want to have to go to the town library to do testing on IE6!

I've been using Google Chrome since yesterday and I must say...It's nice. Last time I used it, was in the BETA days, but now it's pretty good. I'll probably go back to firefox out of habit but Chrome has improved  |

It's FireFox for me, especially with the Ad-Block Plus add-on. I'm so used to having that installed that I doubt I'd switch to anything else, unless there was a compatible add-on.  |

...of course I am a little bias towards Firefox, cause one of my side (non-LP related) side projects is based around it. *cough* Firefox Facts *cough* ... and yes I am allowed one shameless plug after every 2,000 replies here.  |

I guess I forgot to mention my current browser of choice is Firefox, though I do use Safari when Firefox acts up.

Although I generally use Safari, I thought I should give a plug to OmniWeb. As far as I know the only browser that will display Source, let you edit it, and then redisplay edited source. Pretty neat for working on any changes, or seeing how someone else did it. Also included many features like ad-blocking, site specific preferences, workspaces, sessions, etc., |

I really like Opera. I did try firefox for a while, but for I found myself returning to Opera over time. I really like the speed dial feature (I know firefox has this now too, but I still like the Opera version of speed dial a bit better), and the streamlined menu and tab system.

Safari is remains my favorite. Once in awhile I have to use firefox because a site doesn't support Safari. I always use Safari to update my Beach Hotel Advisor Blog at http://beachhotelreviews.blogspot.com/ |

I thought this might be a fun poll for everybody, what is your favorite web browser to use and why? Simple, short and to the point. It seems like these days we have more and more options when it comes to how we browse the Web. From somebody who remembers the old Netscape vs IE war, I never thought we would be doing it all over again - but this time with 2 or 3 times as much competition.
How about you? Have you ever thought about switching browsers? Are you loyal to your browser brand, or would you switch if another one was as good as the one you have now?
Safari 3 (not Safari 4) is the most artistic browser I've used. It's rendering of HTML+CSS is so different and beautiful from all the others. Safari 4 however, seems to be resorting to the IE engine to render the web pages in Windows systems.  |
