Which web browser/s do you use and why, and also what is your opinion of the other browsers (if you have an opinion of them)?

Oops I forgot to add Internet Explorer.

Firefox, with occassional uses of chrome just because for some reason some websites work better on it.

Oops I forgot to add Internet Explorer.
It's ok, people would be too embarrassed to admit to it anyways.

I use chrome and firefox. I appreciate how stripped down and utilitarian chrome is.

What people call the google paradigm I call the google paradox. A company so fixated on fun within its ranks really delivers simple, intuitive, cut and dry products.

I mostly use IE 9. For whatever reason it's cool to hate on IE, but I have no problems with it. So I really don't get it. *shrug*
When I first tried Chrome I noticed security issues. I kept getting virus attack attempts and I am careful with my web browsing and don't even typically download e-mail attachments. Within the past couple of weeks I thought I'd try Chrome again, since it has been a long time. I can't tell any speed difference between it and IE.
I did some research online and found some tests of various browsers. The data supported what I've found on my own. No real difference for me.

It's probably silly to bag on any of the browsers unless you've tried the latest versions of each. Example: I used the early versions of Firefox back in the day and LOVED it. When it got to around version 3 or so, it was slower on both the computers I had by far. Maybe the new version is better, but I'm fine with using mostly IE9 and whatever the latest version of Chrome I have is on occasion.

To this day I believe that firefox is the most secure browser. If I have to navigate to any sort-of sketchy websites, I'll load up Firefox.

For everything else, though... Chrome and it's simplicity. No, I don't need menus or toolbars. And yes, I always thought that tabs should be at the top of the window, not half-way down it! :p

The studies I read (can't remember where they're at now) had IE and Chrome as the most secure two with FF at #3. I really don't trust those stats though, because how do we truly know who published them? So I'm more likely to go on personal experience.

I just opened up IE9 and Chrome side by side. Both have tabs at the top. My favorites bar is in the same place too. I do really like the favorites bar. I don't use all the other junk either though. I have both setup the same way.

I just found out IE doesn't support "min" and "max" in CSS, so now I like it even less :p
