Opera 64 bit Beta for me, the hand gestures are really convenient and so is the rest of the GUI. Mozilla's my back-up--several sites don't load with Opera :/.

My computer came installed with IE. It works fine and does everything I want it to. I see no reason to download and install another browser.

I use Chrome almost exclusively, although I just downloaded IE9 and tested the time it took to load Nationstates three times and compared it with Chrome. I also did that on the British Army website, here are the times.

Times for nationstates:

IE9
Time one: 2.1 secs
Time two: 2.4 secs
Time three: 1.9 secs

Chrome
Time one: 1.9 secs
Time two: 1.7 secs
Time three: 1.8 secs

Times for British Army:

IE9
Time one: 1.4 secs
Time two: 2.4 secs
Time three: 1.6 secs

Chrome
Time one: 5.7 secs
Time two: 1.7 secs
Time three: 2.1 secs

It's pretty damn close, I may start using IE9 more.

I basically alternate between Firefox and Chrome, Firefox being my preference. I've used Opera before and it's a solid browser.

I hate IE.

IE9 okay, Microsoft decided to take the no more bulky tool bars path but also invented tabs beside address bar.
I use it so I can log into Windows Live, MSN etc. since it doesn't work on Opera for some reason. I also use it for Java apps which like MSN and Live do no work on Opera.

Lynx, lol. Isn't that the Linux console browser?

I use Firefox on my part. I hated IE so I switched to FF before Chrome and other browsers came up.
