Just a simple question; which web browser is your preferred choice and why?

Firefox for me
why? its got a great UI, the amount of customization is mind boggling and Mozilla sell Firefox umbrellas

I would probably use chrome but i'm not keen on the minimalistic approach

Firefox. I've been using it since God knows when. Chrome is nice, but I'm not used to the UI (despite being uber simple) and I don't find much of a difference when it comes to speed. A simple change in browser shouldn't have as much an impact on speed as your ISP and your internet settings do.
I gave up on IE when I found out about Firefox, Chrome was interesting, but not enough to make me switch, and I didn't give a flying flock about Netscape or Opera.

Chrome. There are some things I don't care for on Firefox, and Opera is just too buggy. I love Chrome's simple UI, and sheer speed..and since it does extensions now that means I can make it do pretty much anything I want it to.

Safari. I don't need bells and whistles. The simpler the better.

Go Chrome!! yes it chomps lots of CPU and Bandwidth, but when I browse the internet I want stuff to load fast, and chrome delivers that.

I used to use Opera for years, but when I upgraded my PC it started to crash, so I had non choice but to switch to Firefox.
For a long time I refused to use Firefox though, partly cos I knew this 'holier than thou' guy who believed Firefox was the second coming and anyone that didn't use it deserved pain and suffering. It's just a browser, sheesh
There is no perfect browser though.

When you have a decent machine, CPU and RAM usage doesn't matter all that much with a web browser

Heheh

I used to just use Internet Explorer but now I use Chrome all the time because it does seem faster and has some interesting extensions.

I would use Opera as my main if it wasn't so buggy. A few websites I regularly go to don't display correctly, if at all.

Opera has the coolest speed dial type thing..Google Chrome has it as an extension now but Opera's is still much better.
