So what web browser do you use? How do you like it? Is it better or worse than any other browsers that you've tried in the past. What made you choose this browser over the others?

Firefox FTW

I love Firefox and would never use anything else.

If i find a site that doesn't work in Firefox i just find a new site. I refuse to use IE.

Yea when I was using windows I would refuse to use IE also. On a mac firefox is slower than safari and shirra though so i dont use it as much

I run firefox as well. I also refuse to run IE (through emulation) in order to view certain sites. When I come across one of those sites, I simply fake my user agent. That fools the site into thinking I'm running IE. I also do that for sites that require windows.

And I agree with you heavy_nutz. When I'm on a mac, I also use safari. Firefox takes forever to load there. But on windows/linux, it runs fine.

I use Firefox over other browsers because it's almost completely valid in its rendering of XHTML and CSS (I'm a developer, so I very much appreciate this). It also has many tools, such as tabs, built in FTP viewer, built in popup blocker (that doesn't feel so proud that it has to tell you everytime it has blocked something), and my personal favourite, themes. Internet Explorer, in my opinion, is falling behind and the new IE7 isn't very impressive, it's quite ugly, and takes almost all of its new features from the older version of Firefox, making Firefox 2.0 (in my personal opinion) one of the best browsers to use.

But I'm not sure if that's a fair opinion, I've only had extensive experience with Safari, IE, and Firefox.
