I know, a long list and some pretty obscure choices, but hey someone might surprise us^_^

My Choice, Firefox, cross platform goodness 'nuff said.

(argh!, I realized I forgot Google Chrome, well if that's what you use, or it's something else just, pipe up and let us know!^_^)

I use Mozilla Firefox. I switched over a few years ago when I got fed up with Interbutt Exploder. Admittedly, I haven't tried any of the others. I actually did give Google Chrome a go when it first came out, but found its interface unintuitive – it has probably been changed since then.

yes, every now and then I load up IE, quietly chuckle to myself and then go back to Firefox.

Konqueor is kind of nice as a browser, but I really like it more as a file manager(split pane windows make reorganizing soooo much easier), unfortunately the windows implementation of KDE currently sucks(I'm really hoping it gets better),so it's not really an option.I suppose I could use it from my wubi install of Ubuntu, but for some reason that feels kind of awkward.

Chrome is ok, but it's a pretty one note browser, deliberately so, Google was trying to clear away the cruft from the browsing experiance, but obviously it's geared to using just one search engine at a time and that just isn't how I search any more. You CAN change search engines, but it's not very accessible(not hard,just a bit time consuming).

Firefox wins by default for me. I use it on every OS, more than all the other options. Lynx would have to be my runner up choice. and i'm shocked you missed elinks! :-P

Konqueor... is an interesting one. Lot of fun options but, just always seemed to lack the features of a Firefox.

I'll give Opera a shoutout. That browser has some pretty awesome inovative features. I particularly like the "space bar load next page" - kicks ass for browsing danborou's!

I use Firefox myself, only touch IE when I have to.

Question: anyone know if any of those browsers have the capabilities of IE without the crashes? I know Firefox doesn't support some features that IE does which is why I still have to touch IE sometimes (LAAAAAME)

What features specifically are you looking for? If it has to do with the rendering engine, i.e. how websites look, Maxthon, Lunascape, Sleipnir, and Avant Browser all use the Trident rendering engine. Lunascape actually uses three engines Gecko(Firefox), Webkit(Safari)and Trident(IE). Anything else I'd have to know what your looking for...

Like firefox. DEATH TO INTERNET EXPLORER!

I prefer Opera. It looks great, and since I don't have an awesome connection with the internet, I can use Turbo!

The current browser battle...

My friend found it somewhere and I thought it was funny (mainly IE eating glue)

I use Firefox as my main browser (was using Nightly, but it would randomly close my tabs in my tab groups on my Mac) and Chrome as my secondary browser.

I like Firefox since it's easier to tweak and the useful addons it has, but I like Chrome as a quick lightweight browser (if I need to look something up quickly; Chrome < Firefox in opening speeds).

For some reason though, my Firefox broke on my jukebox running Ubuntu 11.04. The window tab would come up saying that Firefox is starting up, but would disappear and Firefox would never appear. I uninstalled Firefox and installed Chrome (or rather Chromium) instead. I wasn't too concerned with it, since it IS a jukebox and I have to run my long Cat6 cable to the router before it has internet.

I don't even touch IE anymore (work doesn't count), one of the first things I do when installing Windows (after the drivers) is to remove/disable IE.

I firewalled Safari from the internet, and had it setup as the local html file browser, but something happened and then it got passed to Chrome... Weird... Oh well. But I don't use Safari either.

I've never used the full Opera browser (I magically opened it once somehow on one of my Macs), and the light version of it on the Wii just sucks (all the sites keep directing me to their mobile version of their site) and so I stopped using the Wii to browse the internet.

Since Firefox and Chrome work on all Linux distros, I don't see much of a reason to use any other browser provided...

I think I covered all of them...

13x31 I like Firefox since it's easier to tweak and the useful addons it has, but I like Chrome as a quick lightweight browser (if I need to look something up quickly; Chrome < Firefox in opening speeds).

You seem to be contradicting yourself. Shouldn't that be Chrome > Firefox, then?
