I use Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer is a vile abomination, Safari isn't one of Steve Job's greatest inventions and Opera is just a big fat lie. Firefox is very customisable and I use Chrome as an alternative for when everything is so slow. I used to use Lunascape but then it started freezing up and I switched to Firefox and Chrome.

I used to but as I said before, everything about it was a lie. It was not fast, it was slow and that is pretty much everything about Opera.

Safari.

Flash doesn't work in Chrome (at least on my Macbook) and Firefox doesn't support that two-fingered swipe thing
We in Gravonia have set our sights very low, so low in fact that even glory will have in it an echo of failure.

Mostly Google Chrome since it is fast, neat, and generally best all the way. But, for some reason - when I try to download torrents, it doesn't let me. So when downloading torrents - Firefox. Sometimes, when I am out - I use what ever default browser is on Nokia.

IE is just crap and was most likely built by people who think it is 1940s, in their coffee break.

Chrome. Both PC and Mac.

IE is an absolute abomination to society. Firefox is customizable but it's just not fast enough for me. Opera is meh. Safari is "meh". Chrome is...really really really fast.

It is slow on operations, not neat and slow to load up. Also, it isn't customisable.

It takes 5 seconds to load Nationstates homepage in IE.
It takes 1 second to load Nationstates homepage in Google Chrome.
