Which web browser do you use?

[tommytabib]

I'm actually really keen to know which browser people are using (though, im assuming most here are using firefox). I got the idea to ask this when i just heard, today, that safari is now available for windows.

Also, could you please state why you use 'x' web browser and what features you like most in it.

This is for all OS's by the way, so its for linux/unix - windows - mac - thatsalliknowof.

P.S. if a poll on this has already been created feel free to lock this one and give me a link to it, though i couldn't find one searching.

FireFox only.

i like Opera and Konqueror too but plugins like NoScript and AdBlock are not available for both and i can't live with annoying adds all over the page.

But many of us are going to use more than one browser - I use IE7 when forced to at work, but I can only tick one. The ones I use are:

Firefox
IE6, and 7
Konqueror
Seamonkey
Lynx, links, and occasionally other text-only browsers.
Very occasionally Epiphany.

Firefox at home on Linux, at work I use Ghostzilla for stealthy surfing and Portable firefox for surfing overtly. I could install full Firefox but it's not approved by our corporate overlords yet and I'd rather not draw attention to myself.

I occasionally use Konqueror. I think it's a great browser but I have to admit I'm a bit of a wimp and like this to be mainstream enough to guarantee large community support and plugins. That sounded cynical - what I mean is if a site doesn't work and I complain saying I use Konqueror I'd be told it was my choice of browser causing the trouble. If I say Firefox I'd have some leverage there.

Ditto. Firefox on all my OSes (OS X, Linux, XP).

I went from IE to Firefox then to Opera. I used Opera for about a year and now I'm back to Firefox. Opera is neat but just got old after awhile. Firefox is definitely my choice for a browser with any distro.

I use IE when dealing with Microsoft-specific web applications (like an update server). I like to use Konquerer when I'm natively connecting to another Linux box (fish).

I use Firefox (or rather, Iceweasel as Debian calls it) wherever possible. There was a time when I used Konqueror for a few small reasons, but eventually I thought it was more worthwhile to keep my Web browsing and file operations separate.

Epiphany - simple, clean, and easy

I'm still using Firefox so it got my vote.

I've tried all the others and they just don't feel right, or are irritating in other ways. They are getting better, however. I'd like to run Konqueror when running KDE but it has a funny way of loading pages and it becomes overly distracting after a few minutes. Maybe it will work better when they separate the web browser and file manager in the upcoming KDE4. It's been a very long time since I've liked Opera, but I do try it again with each new major release.

If I should give up on Firefox, I'd probably go with Epiphany.

I use Opera. I like th built-in bit torrent client... mouse gestures... speed dial isn't too shabby... it can read out loud to me too if I'm feeling lazy.
