    I'm using FF3. I really love it.

    The extensions I like:

    -AdBlock+
    -NoScript
    -ForecastFox

    and of course the great NOIA Extreme Theme

    I have IE 7 AND Mozilla so I can easily swap between accounts and sometimes Mozilla wont run certain things. xD

    Most of the time I'm on Firefox though.
    Got an ad blocker but I'm a premium member so not much point...

    When Chrome came out, I used it for months exclusively because I loved its minimalist design, lightning-fast browsing, and really smart design.

    However, in the past few weeks I've gotten back into FF3 for the following huge reasons:

    -Adblock Plus
    -Greasemonkey (the best thing that has ever happened to web browsers)
    -DownThemAll
    -More customization

    You can do some incredible things with Firefox if you want to take some time to play with addons. Otherwise, I recommend Chrome.

    I use chrome exclusively now after finding FF to be very slow compared to chrome, but I switch when necessary.

    One thing that irks me is that I for some reason can't get the scroll to work when I click my mouse wheel...and no Adblock with chrome :(

    I mostly use Firefox, but occasionally if I can't use it for whatever reason, I do switch to Flock which is basically Firefox with a blue skin.

    I can't stand IE. I don't know why, but it always seems to take a year to finally start up. Once it's up, it's not bad. I like using my Firefox though. It's fast, easy, and I can easily run scripts and such. I've been thinking of trying google chrome, but haven't bothered yet... I may download it later today though.

    Firefox, occasionally IE/Safari depending on what i'm doing. Firefox imo has the best security for web browsers so yeah ;D

    Firefox CAN use a lot of memory if you use a lot of extensions or you use bad coded extensions.

    I still find opera to be faster than chrome and firefox but with opera and chrome you aren't really able to add the customisation and functionality I get with Firefox.

    I use Firefox, and if certain sites don't work on firefox I use Safari. IE runs unbelievably slow and essentially crashes my computer. Its beyond me why anyone would choose to use it o_O

    Mozilla Firefox.

    Internet Explorer SUCKS

    Chrome is just too empty.

    Firefox Forever!
