Firefox on my laptop but I've had to start using IE7 on my desktop because FF crashes at least 3 times every time I use it. I'm hoping it will be fixed with the new version, I'm guessing it may be a Vista issue

Ok...who's the one person who voted for IE? Time to round up a posse (I joke, I joke)

Firefox 90% of the time on my macbook and iMac, other 10% would be safari.

On my phone, the blackberry browser.

I use Firefox 3 Beta 5 on both my Mac and Windows computers. Internet Explorer is required for some work stuff so sometimes I have to use it.

On my Mac I also tinker with Safari and Webkit nightlies but Safari has a long way to go before it can replace Firefox for me.

Firefox is the shizzy. Safari for Windows sucks.

Firefox on the laptop and desktop and Opera Mini on the phones. Can't wait to see what Mozilla brings to the table when they release their mobile version.

Ok I changed my mind today - downloaded opera mini today on my bb and it's great. so much better than the default bb browser.

I use Firefox about 30% of the time; Opera 30% of the time; Safari 30% of the time, and Blackberry browser when I'm on the go.

Firefox all the way for me. I only use IE on my Touch because I can have tabbed browsing on it.

Depends on the day and the PC I am using. Either FF or IE.

If you are into Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blogging, check out FLOCK (http://flock.com/): It uses Firefox's Gecko engine and supports quite a bit of FF extensions.

Firefox. I love the add-ons. I even have a IE add-on if I need compatibility.

Opera. It handles email, IRC, downloads/torrents, speed dial, minimalist interface...

I've been an Opera user since the obscure ad-supported days...

I still use 5 years old Mozilla
I wanted to use FireFox, but unable to use Alt+S is a deal breaker

"Safari has a long way to go before it can replace Firefox for me."

In tests conducted tonight on my Mac, Firefox 3 RC 2 (Candidate Build2) passes the Acid2 test just fine. Earlier betas of Firefox 3 also passed the Acid2 test.

Safari 3.1.1 and Firefox both fail the Acid3 test with Safari scoring just a bit higher than Firefox: 75 vs 71 out of 100. However, Safari using the latest WebKit nightly appears to pass the Acid3 test.

But Acid2/3 results are not the litmus test for which browser I choose to use. I use Firefox because the ease of use, customization, extensibility, and feature set are more agreeable to how I prefer to use a browser than Safari is.

Opera 9.50beta failed the acid3 test at 78/100

...and Safari sucks worse with 75/100, and failed the linktest.
