Topic: Which Browser(s) do you use?

I have been experimenting with a number of new browsers of late and thought that others might share experiences regarding their own preferences, hang-ups, etc....

I have started using Flock recently and I like it save for one function with YouTube that drives me nuts. Firefox still appears to be the standard and I use that as well.

I also like Safari (I own a Mac) and one called Camino. Just thought I would put the question out there.

I use firefox now.
I was an avid explorer fan until my friends introduced me to the stumble button. And the tabs are nice, too.

I have pretty much settled for Flock as it is built around what made Firefox so good. I still use Gmail (don't like the chat function) because it is the best e-mail program I've ever used. Flock also allows for a lot of social networking (think, friends who Digg, Facebook, YouTube etc...) and I find that for me it runs very fast even with multiple open tabs.

Safari gives me some fits when loading Gmail (it stalls right before opening which in turn causes me to swear) and I have not used Netscape for years.

Still, different browsers have different strengths. Oh, and Camino is another good one but if you use Gmail and do a spell check, Camino has a bug that won't let you correct the misspelled words. I'm not sure why exactly but it is sufficiently annoying.

firefox. I own Windows, Mac, and Linux(my fav), and use Mozilla Firefox on all three with no problems. For social networking, I have tons of safe plugins to choose from, and I can sync them together. Also with Prism, I can load Gmail as if it were a program installed on my computer.

Oh, don't get me wrong--I have no issue with Firefox at all. I really like it--but I think we've reached a place in the day in day out computing world where people can run with different browsers, if nothing else just to explore new options within each one. In addition, using other browsers is a good way to learn about and then suggest what might be missing with Firefox. There is no doubt however that Firefox is gold. I just like the look and layout of Flock.

I used Firefox while I'm home, but when I go to work there are certain web apps that I have to use that require me to use IE.

Much prefer Firefox though, even though it started taking a lot longer to start up anymore.

I use Firefox religiously. My IE takes so long to open or load any sites it's pathetic. I've tried other browsers but I haven't found anything better then Firefox 3. JMO

Firefox. IE only if the website _requires_ it. Like Netflix does.

This post wasn't meant to be a poll but it sort of wound up that way, which is good. FF3 (there are some really cool new features included) is a great browser and Flock is built off of the same base--so it looks an awful lot like it. That said, I still seem to migrate back to FF more often than not.

Amazing considering that a few years ago it was IE that was the standard. Even when it ticked people off it was what most people used.

Thanks everyone for sharing.
