I prefer Mozilla, however, I use whatever browser is available.

I used to use Mozilla for a long time but, my computer is old and slow and Chrome seems to run faster.

Indeed, like answering Bing, though one might call a search engine a 'browser' of sorts -

I mostly use Mozilla Firefox, but I also use elinks and occasionally w3m.

Bit early to say that.

I, for one, use Safari 4 (used 3 beforehand) for all browsing on my mac laptop (my primary computer at the moment).

On my Windows Partition, I do use Internet Explorer 7 (haven't bothered to update yet), but that is rare as most of my web browsing is done in Mac. When I had regular access to my Windows Desktop, I used IE7. However, at this point, I probably would be installing and using Safari, because I like it so much.

So one vote for Safari.

Google Chrome, as it lets people see all the adult sites I've been on with that 'top 9 sites' thing on the pseudo-homepage. :roll: Also because Firefox kept crashing on random sites, which is a shame as I've seen you can get a nice plug-in that lets you navigate using Black&White style mouse gestures.
