I'm currently using Chrome. {up}
and why did you choose that browser over others?
No reason, just trying to experiment with different browsers, figuring out which one is right for me. :)

[quote="ashtonfarell"It is leading with speed as well. Probably the fastest one out there.[/quote]
From a technical standpoint, it's actually a rather slow browser.

It's certainly the most extensible one though. There's hundreds of plugins out there for Firefox.

I've been using Chrome a bit recently.. it's certainly one of the fastest and most lightweight browsers I've tried. Not a big fan of the UI though.

Opera for me. Internet Explorer is way to slow on my computer. it takes about 5 mins to load. And that is awfully slow!

Safari, because Firefox on the Mac seems bloated and slow. I would much prefer to use Firefox because of the extensions (I use one a lot for my web development) and added feature. Safari is so much faster compared to it, so that's what I use on an everyday basis,

Technically, I use them all though. I work for a very large company coding web designs into HTML/CSS, and it needs to be consistent across most browsers, so I frequently have Safari, Firefox, Chrome, IE8, IE7, and IE6 open at the same time while I'm working (virtual machines allow me to run IE on the Mac).

I hear ya, the old Internet Explorers were especially painful, but at least fewer and fewer people are using them with each passing day. I still remember the days we had to use box model hacks for IE.

Interestingly enough, there is a browser called Lunascape which uses multiple engines (Gecko, Trident and Webkit) which would allow you to test browser compatibility using just one browser. Last I heard though, it was glitchy and could be spreading malware, which is a shame since it could've been useful.
