    I use Firefox, mostly because of the useful add-ons. The only thing that sucks is how much RAM it takes.

    Google Chrome has been proven to be the fastest browser out there...

    SeaMonkey FTW.
    A mix of FireFox, Thunderbird, KompoZer, and ChatZilla!
    Made by Mozilla.
    You forgot OPERA!

    Safari sucks ass. Especially on PC. Only reason I have it is for screensplitr.

    Holy crap. I need that.

    I use Firefox. Works for me. Constantly updated, and I know my way around it better than other browsers.

    Internet Explorer, not because I think it is the best but because I hate change. I have firefox as a backup for when IE acts up as well as to make Labyrinth 2 levels :D

    You could always get an IE8 skin for Firefox and have the best of both browsers.

    I just recently started using Flock, by mozilla. Its basically a reskinned firefox with some really cool extra features. So far any plugin that I use for firefox has worked with flock.

    I'd use chrome but they don't make a power pc mac version.

    Firefox for the past few years now, I tried Google chrome when it came out, but it never really interested me.

    I recently switched to Chrome, and it works perfectly with low amount of tabs. However at a higher amount of tabs (15+), it begins to significantly slow down, to the point that it's barely usable (changing tabs will cause the page to very slowly refresh into the new one, and system-wide lag). For some odd reason each tab would appear as a separate process under task manager... if I have 20 tabs open, I see 20 Chrome tasks... maybe that's why it's so memory-consuming.
    I'm gonna go back to Firefox soon.

    That's so that if you visit a page that would otherwise crash your entire browser, with Chrome it only crashes that one tab.

    Personally I use Firefox and it doesn't crash often enough for me to care about that feature... and the latest version of Firefox allows you to pull tabs out of the browser into a new separate window, both running under the same process. I prefer that.

    That's what Chrome is meant to be like; each tab is a different process so if one becomes unresponsive or crashes, the rest of the browser is still running. I think this also allows you to be logged into multiple accounts on the same website, but I'm not sure.

    My vote is for Firefox; I like Safari's interface but I can't get used to how different it is from Firefox.

    I used to use the NCSA Mosaic, but I have just recently upgraded to the Netscape Navigator.
