What's your favorite browser?

I see a few Firefox supporters but Chrome is talked about a lot more.

Ignorance at its best.

Google owes Chrome to Opera. Here is something they got;
1. Memory Managment
2. UI (similiar to Opera who had it first)
3. Tabs
4. latest advanses in overall browser speed.

There is few things competeing with Opera, being a small company with 1% of the devs that Google, Mozilla and IE has the have made histories most innovative web browser (apart from the first ever made).

They go in budget deficit and must fire employees yet they lead the entire speed race of 2010 increasing overall chrome speed by probobly 6-7x. Increased development speed by prob 400-500%.

Chrome is only talked about because of its massive growth thanks to advertising their browser on google.com for hundreds of millions. Opera is also the biggest mobile browser and uses an innovative way of handling data reducing amount of data spent by close to 70%

Have a look at this; http://operawiki.info/operainnovations then look back and think, did any other mainstream browser do anything?, or did they end up copying a tiny one and market it as their own innovation?.

Somehow I don't think it costs google hundreds of millions to advertise on their own site ;)

I personally use firefox, the addons are too good to pass up.

I have Windows 7 and IE doesn't work :/

FireFox is too slow, Opera crashes, So Google Chrome is my only choice.

I like GC but it uses a lot of resources.

I always have about 40 tabs open too...

I'm a Firefox user, it's been my browser of choice since 2007.
Not going to switch now, I'm not a big fan of Google Chrome so I don't think I'll be switching to that.

There are a few elements of Firefox I don't like but I'm just going to have to live with it.

I've tried Opera but I don't like it at all, so I think Firefox is the best choice.
