Chrome is good, it's just a pain when it comes to watching fb vids, decides when it has java installed or not.

firefox all they way,

Firefox, may not be the best for some geeky/fanboy reason, but I like it. I've got Safari on the phone though 
Can't seem to get used to Chrome, and don't get on the the UI of IE.

I tried chrome, not having a button for favourites was a deal breaker.
I also use Opera quite a lot, I love mouse gestures.
I don't get firefox, I also gave that an extended trial recently and although the add ons were novel, none of them were really any use to me, no benefit over IE.
I use IE8, does everything I want it to, works with the activex control which my cctv software needs (none of the others do) and if you really want it, there is now a add on that will render pages using chrome (webkit) inside IE.

Safari, really good on my mbp, but on my windows pc I just use IE i've tried firefox and opera before but they don't seem to do anything better than IE and from my experience they seem to have compatibility problems and I just like things to work out the box.

Chrome. It's pretty awesome... there's some features I really miss when going back to IE. Plus I have it set to developer mode so gets automatic updates all the time, doesn't even tell you they're being installed. You just turn it on and get new features latest update was themes, which are pretty awesome actually.

Firefox on my pc and mac, have used it for years, and just become used to it. I hate IE with a passion but use that in work, never rated chrome.

I used to use Safari 4 for everyday browsing but it kept randomly crashing and stuff, so I switched back to Google Chrome 2 which is lightening fast.
I use Firefox mainly for web development work, and use all of the above + IE8 for testing websites on.
This is all on my PC BTW.

Chrome all the way.
Used to have Firefox but when Chrome was released it seemed so much smoother to use so I stuck with it.
Painful using IE7 at work now

Internet Explorer - For filling things in like moneysupermarket.com for example, due to the site not working properly in Chrome.
Firefox for general browsing, and installed plugins.
Chrome every now and then.
I find chrome is the fastese and best browser, just some niggles with it, as it doesn't work all the time on various websites.

Chrome works fine now with moneysupermarket.com....
I use Chrome almost exclusively. Oh and it does have add ons.

Fair enough, I know it has addons, I have a few (Facebook & Gmail).
