Which do you use, most of the time. If it's about even, which do you use to view .org on, most of the time.
Also, feel free to suggest new browsers in the poll.
 
I use Firefox for everything. Not because I'm an anti-ie fag or whatever but simply because it's what I've "grown up with" if you like.
 
Well most of my regular "legal" browsing I do on IE because that's what my parents know and check

I haul all my other crap through Firefox, which I have coupled with The Onion Router
(works great in school ┌П┐(◣_◢)┌П┐ you Websense)

I also use Firefox to browse HBgames
cause IE is having that dumb cookie problem with it since the server change O.o
 
Chrome, cos its shiny and new :D

Well, more specifically, Chromium, which is the open source version of it, cos Chrome has an F'd up Licence Agreement.
 
Make some research first, since you left out many browsers that some people use (ie: Opera).

Anyway, Chrome is convenient for dual screen working since dragging a tab from a window to another is so smooth.

Firefox.

@psiclone: DAP is download accelerator that makes downloads faster.

Yeah. My downloads slow when I download from across the world, like the RTP from enterbrain's website. That normaly is 17 kb/s, but DAP downloads it at 500kb/s +.

Yes, I love it so. ;3

It depends on your own internet connection. Mine is 5mb/s, so I often get 500kb/s to 600 kb/s with it.

The wonders of 02 Broadband. :3

Firefox for everything except for big files downloading. ( It uses a download manager... and it cant handle big files...)

IE for downloading, because its "organic"

I tried Chrome for a while but ended up going back to FireFox because of some compatibility issues with some sites.

Chrome is the one thing Google failed at.
 
Compatibility issues isn't really Google's fault... and I have seen very few compatibility issues. A lot of websites fail at the compatibility crap because they do manual, hard-coded checking (if it's IE, display this, if it's Mozilla, try this), and they leave out the idea of "what if a new browser comes along." With most other browsers, this doesn't affect them, because a lot of "new" browsers are just clones of old browsers; Chrome is genuinely new.

Having said that, I use Chrome a lot; it's great for developing, and I just fine it's generally faster (app speed not network speed) than Firefox; Firefox sometimes takes up to 300k in memory... I can live without that. (Still, my second choice is Firefox)
