    Just curious, what browsers do you guys use? Only did the main choices as Firefox or IE because they’re the two main browsers, I think.

    Opera is my primary browser for it’s simple searching and feed reading. Chrome has a similar feel, so I may switch to that when it becomes avaiblable for Mac.

    Firefox is my development browser; firebug and it’s JS debugger are godsends.

    Safari is nice, but it lacks the sophistication of Opera or the extensibility of Firefox. I like that they’re pushing the edges of HTML5, though.

    I’m relunctantly starting to love Google Chrome.

    I use firefox for normal surfing, but for quick checks on mail I use my iPod (or Google chrome, depending on what is closer).

    IE at work.

    Firefox at home for browsing, developing.

    I also reopen IE to implement ‘hacks’ so that whatever relatively simple thing I am doing works in IE as well….

    I am an Ubuntu user, therefore Firefox is my choice.

    At work I have to use windows and I primarily use Firefox on it.  The web developer, measure it, colour picker and firebug ad-ons are invaluable.

    At home I use a Mac and usually use Opera that. I have always been really happy with it.  I will use Firefox as well when doing web development work, and I will also use Camino sometimes, and do quite like it (if I could get the Firefox ad-ons for Camino, I probably wouldn’t use Firefox on the Mac).

    As a general rule though, I have as many browsers installed as is reasonable so that I can test sites in them and such.

    Why use Chrome when you could use Iron?

    Use all browsers for testing but will never leave Firefox. Been using it since it was called Firebird and will never use anything else.

    firebug only comes with firefox, so firefox is is. Great browser, just wish it started up a bit quicker in Leopard.

    Firefox needs to not be so damn slow ... I’ve moved gmail use over to chrome. I’ve even started playing with Opera again. But Firefox is still my choice.

    Firefox 3.1 is supposed to have a new super-fast Javascript engine, which affects the responsiveness of the XUL-based UI widgets as well as webapps like GMail. On the other hand, Chrome has built-in Google Gears, which makes it my choice for my own GMail account.
