I remember using Webcrawler, then Lycos, then Yahoo! in that order, each exclusively for a period of time.

I used Jeeves, it was pretty popular at the time. Now I never use anything other than Google for some reason, just habit I guess.

Altavista, Lycos and a now obsolete one which had a horrific bright green interface with a black, white and red logo. Answers on a postcard please.
