what is your favourite browser and why?

[ashtonfarell]

I use Firefox which is my favourite browser. Firefox is one of the leading internet browsers I have seen. I have used almost all of the other browsers, except chrome, and I have always been coming back to Firefox. It is very user friendly and provides a lot of user customization. Like a recent update, Firefox 3.6, you can change the theme of the browser to one of 3,000 different templates. Talk about customization! It is leading with speed as well. Probably the fastest one out there. Internet explorer is just a default browser and should be thrown to the side.

I use Google Chrome browser. I like the ability to search by typing the search subject in the address bar. I find it is quite fast as well (comparable to Firefox).

Safari

[petree08]

Chrome.

I used to use Firefox but it kept crashing randomly. Especially when I used any sort of search engine.

I like the interface, I haven't had any problems with it crashing or anything yet though.

I have to use Internet explorer though sometimes because of my SQL class.

Lynx because I liked the web before graphics the most.

GNU IceCat

[Turing_Gamer]

What is that???

[Euphoracle]

Icecat = Rebranded firefox.

Mac: Safari
Winders: Chrome
Linux: Chrome

Safari on OS X (Safari on Windows is mediocre). Because it's fast as balls, more standards compliant than any other browser, minimal UI, and the developer tools are top notch (better and more stable than FF+FireBug).

You can do this with Firefox

Firefox also has the extra search bar in it, and has search suggestions (with the Google plugin at least). 1-click favouriting is nice, and the default UI is sleek and easy to use.
