Firefox is the way to go. I love all the add on's you can use and it loads up faster in my opinion!

Few months later my opinion is still the same. I eagerly await the new beta version, and I tend to watch closely the http://arewefastyet.com, which appears to have some good progress. Mostly, I use Firefox because of habits - I certainly don't want to break them, and useful addons that make my web life much easier. I also found kinda difficult to integrate another browser in my Linux workstation, which is also tied to using Thunderbird as mail and RSS client. Mozilla, however, really need to address the speed issues - both in JS engine and UI being clumsy sometimes. Fortunately, their plans include exactly these, plus some other useful features.

My favorite web browser is definitely Mozilla Firefox. It has a lot of add-ons that you can download and use for convenience. Even though I have Chrome, I'd still use Mozilla.

Opera --

The two big reasons I've used it since version 4.something:
Mouse gesters, and I can place tabs on the left (constant width regardless of the number open). These might be possible in others, but honestly I've not gone looking. I also like that I can use it for IRC, though it's not my first choice interface for that.

Safari. It's probably one of the simplest browsers out there. In a click, you can get to Google or reset or preferences. Safari also lays out many privacy options. I have to say, Safari is more impressive than Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox... SAFARI FTW!!!

Perhaps sarcasm will come right back around and bite me in the wrong place.

Cannot stand Internet explorer, so definitely NO.

Since I am on Linux, I cannot use Internet explorer. As of right now, I use FireFox.
