Mozilla. The only time I use IE is for connecting to Internet Radio through WinAmp.

I use Opera. I have to use IE at work, and it drives me friggin crazy...all those windows switching which is active all on thier own. I just enjoy Opera so much more.

I always use the latest version of Internet Explorer, in this case 6.0.2800.

Actually I have just begun using phoenix. I still like it less than mozilla because it is missing quite a few features - but mozilla is buggy as fvck, and lately has gotten much worse :(

I think I stuck with 1.2 on my win32 boxes and havn't noticed any mozilla bugs. I use Galeon on Linux which is currently using Gecko/20030327 according to about: and it works fine too.

Yeah, not sure what it was, but it just started acting REALLY buggy all of a sudden (I've always noticed bugs, but not like this), I moved my profile and started a new one, I removed mozilla and reinstalled it. No matter what it just acted BADLY and I've dealt with mozilla bugs for long enough. Phoenix seems to be a lot less buggy.

When running WinXP I use Avant. (Formerly MyIE, I believe.)

When running Red Hat I use Konquerer.

Tried them all... just something about the familiarity and conveniences of IE that keeps me from leaving it. The only thing I wish it added was a popup surpressor like Mozilla.
