Chromium master-race. [editline]28th October 2011[/editline] oh, and Rockmelt too.
Opera because its smooth and easy to use. Pretty sweet plug-ins too
About 2 years ago I was a complete fan of Firefox, nothing else would do and I even tried converting people to it. But after that I figured I was being a complete prick and found Chrome to be a suitable alternative. After using it for a while I noticed you could drag tabs to either side of the screen and they'd immediately take up half the screen, this was a godsend for me and I couldn't use any other browser again.
I dowloaded Opera and Chrome again. Chrome is still bad, Opera was shit but they cleaned it, and now the only problem is that it doesn't have scrolling on the tabs, like Firefox. I'd switch to Opera if it had.

I was a long-time Firefox user, but after reinstalling my OS a week ago, I switched to Chrome, and I certainly like it better in some departments. In others, I'm still too used to the way some things worked in Firefox, so I'm still undecided between the two. Voted Firefox, because it needs more love in the poll.
Chrome for me. It's the fastest on my system, simplest, easiest on the eyes, and most convenient.
I use Firefox and Chrome.
[QUOTE=TehWhale;33098353]I'm curious of your logic behind this[/QUOTE] Still lags more tha Firefox and Opera, too "clean" interface for me, and no tab scrolling.
I'm a Chrome because I'm a sucker for minimalist UIs. In fact I am so Chrome that I made a little icon for it based off the informative rating. Doubt it'll ever replace the icon FP already uses, but who knows. I think it's better just because it's based off of the current Chrome logo, instead of the older one.

Yeah I always wondered why Garry used a square chrome logo.
Actually, where's the general forum suggestion thread?
I was using Chrome until IE9 64bit came out. I like the simplicity of IE9 (its even more minimalistic than Chrome IMO) and the 64bit version just because I'm gay like that.
Sparkbrowser all day every day
Firefox, because Chrome's history management is such horseshit it never works right. I'd go Chrome all day, but Firefox's history and bookmark management seals the deal for me.
Opera or custom IE-based browser
I use both chrome and FF.
internet explorer. IMMA GO DOWN SWINGING! [IMG]http://imageflock.com/img/1324005093.jpg[/IMG]

Internet Explorer. Aside from its simplicity, I just couldn't give a fuck which browser I use. If the need ever does arise though (and it's very rare), I'll use SRWare Iron. Anyways look at this shit: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/nSDFN.png[/thumb] It's a nice clean interface. What else could I possible need?

I like how the others put the address bar and tab bar on different vertical spaces, and just merge the tabs with the title bar of the window. Same vertical space used with more usability!

Rather than having to look at the tab names from the very left of the screen all the way to the far right, the tabs are in a smaller area where you can focus on them easier, so if you have lots of tabs open it's easier to find the one you want rather than have to scan along the length of your screen. The only thing annoying about the interface is all the wasted space along the top, I guess I'm just used to when I used Chrome all the time. The bottom bar (URL and tabs) should be nudged up at least a little bit, giving more vertical space for actual browsing and leaving less empty space.

I just Ctrl+Tab to cycle my tabs in last-used order which is by far the fastest way for general browsing. I also have a good memory of the order of my tabs so if I do need to jump to a specific one I can take a pretty accurate guess at where it is!
Firefox. I'm used to it, know where things are located, have my addons I use, customized the UI to a way I love etc. Can't be arsed to do all that on another browser.
Opera, because of the password wand...
[QUOTE=ArmageddonScr;33746096][IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44439392/images/orly.bmp[/IMG] Mozilla.[/QUOTE] LOL I was wondering if anyone would notice that.
