Hasn't this been done already? Anyway, for the most part, I'm using IE 64. When x64 support comes for the other browsers, I'll come back to using FF full time again.

FireFox. I'm not sure why I switched from IE, though now that I don't need the imageshack toolbar I suppose there's no point swapping back.

[Vortigern]

Firefox, all the way. Haven't used IE in about four years now. I switched back in the days before IE developed tabbed browsing, when it was a Firefox only thing, and I never switched back. Also it sucks less.

[Mórvír]

Firefox. Been using it for a couple years.

[Elvenlord]

IE.

What are you talking about? Just googling 64 bit firefox XP ( or Vista) brings up plenty of things indicating that there is such. I've been running 64 bit version for sometime now.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008123110 GranParadiso/3.0.5

Of course I'm running Linux though. You should be able to browse completely 64 bit now. There's now Java and flash in 64 bit.

Yes... I know I'm out of date. That'll be fixed in right after the system update happens.

As far as browsers go I don't really like Opera that much. I hope Google Chrome comes for Linux, but I think it's not out till June. IE sucks even if it were available and only useful for going to update.microsoft.com.

Firefox because of the extensions. Firefox is like phpBB. It is great, only with hacks . Otherwise Opera is better.

FF all the way, mainly because of Noscript (and other features).

For general browsing about i use Chrome, because it's so sexy fast.

For web development i use Flaming Foxy.

For checking to see if a site works in Internet Explorer i use Internet Explorer.

For looking at porn i use Opera, so that people don't see all the places i've been when i type addresses in.

Firefox.
For some reason, it's WAY faster than IE
And I like how when you click on a link, it creates a new tab, while in IE it creates a new window

I use Chrome because it's seemingly doubly fast of IE8 Beta2.

[pipinowns2bb&]

Firefox, of course.

I used to be pretty big on Internet Explorer around 2 years ago, but that was mainly because I didn't know there were another other internet browsers

[Major Dimitri]

Firefox. I don't like IE.

[Jeeves]

Opera, mostly.
Faster than all but Chrome, more secure than everything, all the features I need without having to install extensions.
I did go through a phase of using FF for work (webdev) but Dragonfly is very powerful once you figure out how to use it, and since I use multiple computers Opera's Link is vital to my workflow when switching between OS and machine.

Then Chrome or IE for uni. Opera doesn't like the uni proxy or badly set-up version of blackboard (possibly predating actual blackboards), which only comes close to performing in Chrome's V8.

Its interesting to see how FF users have all said its because they've used it a long time, because of extensions, or because its not IE. Especially given how many extensions are availible as standard features in other browsers, and how most out there aren't actually IE. Its actually become my least-used browser now (even behind Saf win). It just doesn't really offer anything not availible elsewhere (except via thirdparty plugins), and is too slow and heavy for my liking.

Then Opera again on my PDA (HTC Diamond). Fenec has the same memory issues as Firefox, but a PDA doesn't have the RAM to get away with it, and PIE is just, well, crap. Only issue with Opera Mobile is it being the only version not to support Link, although its ability to interact with Dragonfly on a connected desktop is awesome for debugging for mobile devices.

There is another reason why I don't like FireFox these days, that I've just been painfully reminded of. Memory leak. Not just a small amount either.
