Konqueror ATM, though I also use Firefox and Opera. Opera is clearly the fastest for my sites on my machine, I'm just not really used to it yet.

IE is simple and it works.

In spite of the many problems that come to light from time to time, I still use only IE. 10 years ago, it was Netscape, and I wouldn't touch IE.
Firefox just hasn't shown me much, and certainly nothing to justify switching.

Chrome, checking it out. Not a huge fan but it has potential.

Otherwise it's IE7 at work and Opera at home.

IE7 at work. At home it's Firefox 3.0.1, plus I'm messing around with Chrome a bit right now.

Switched to Opera from Firefox recently and love it. I had a problem with FF not recognizing cookies on my computer so I was having to login to various frequented websites every time after I had rebooted. That got old real quick. Others apparently have had this same problem as I discovered searching for a solution. Didn't really feel like uninstalling and reinstalling so I moved on.

I'm trying out Chrome at home, but my primary browser there is IE7. At work I alternate between IE7 and Firefox, but ever since we upgraded to FF3 (which I can't stand) I've been using IE more and more.

FF3 - can't beat the extensions

Only thing I'm interested with in Chrome is its implementation of multiple threads/processes to improve performance/stability.

That being said, its not enough as-is in its current beta form to replace FF, and once FF and the other browsers inevitably follow suit in implementing their own version there could be even less reason to go with Chrome.

Right now I'm currently using it out of novelty - I don't mind beta testing new browsers, its how I got into Firefox back before it was even called that (previously known as Phoenix/Firebird)

Anyways, competition is great, better browsers for all!

SeaMonkey. Is it wrong to use the browser that still uses the same graphical interface Netscape 4 had? ;)

IE... Been using it so long I can't get away.

I've tried Firefox on my system, but I'm too lazy to learn where the 3 buttons I need are. Also, they made us use it at one of my school's labs, which has put me off a bit.

I just installed Chrome today. So far so good. Doubt I'll stick with it though.

I like Opera but there are no good ad-block plugins or spell check plugins.
