I prefer ie over firefox but firefox has has a lot of things I like such as some of the plugins like adblock, scriptblocking, and the ability to change the themes and love the soccer plugins such as tickertape of all scores in the leagues I watch . it has become a bit bulky and slower but ie is my primary.

I have been using FireFox exclusively for almost 5 years now, it took some getting used to at first, but why I stuck with it was mostly because of the great plugins especially AdBlock. I wouldn't know if a site looks bad in FireFox (as opposed to IE) because it's all I use... and I do think most of those cases ("This page looks best in IE") are kind of behind us.

Since then I've only opened IE either by accident (such as when a program's help notes prompt it to open) or when I've installed a new version of it to check out what's new. And I do think it's gotten better. IE has made a lot of improvements so I can't be as harsh on it.

Chrome is okay, I futzed around with it a bit and then just went back to FireFox.

Now Safari, that's a browser that I just don't like, I don't like the interface at all and it's klunky. No gold medal for you there Apple.

Netscape can sit in its well-deserved grave.

I remember when Netscape Navigator was the shit. MS took care of that the old fashioned way.

I use Chrome and FF. I like them and use them pretty equally. Chrome was a little barebones in appearance for my tastes when I first started using it but it has grown on me. I use it for most of my sites that I go to for entertainment and what not while I use FF for my more professional and school related purposes. Chrome has the best privacy mode of all the browsers that I have tried. I agree that Safari isn't all that great, Opera is ok, and I only use IE on the rare occasion that a site I have to use only supports IE. I think the last site I ran across that on though has since updated to allow other browsers. As for Netscape, I don't really use it much anymore, but for the people who did like it and aren't aware, it actually is still around and still gets updates and new development under the name Seamonkey.

On mobile, I use browsers on both the Blackberry Curve and and iPod Touch. On the Blackberry, I prefer Opera Mini. As far as I know it is the only browser that has multitabbed browsing on the Blackberry. And even before they updated to include multitab, it was far superior to the native Blackberry browser. Opera Mini also has a version for the iPod/iPhone now, but in that case, I don't see that it's that much beyond the Safari browser especially since if you open any kind of apple supported media in Opera Mini, it just opens a session of Safari anyway.
