Oddly enough, w3schools statistics show that as of August 2010 IE usage has dropped down to 30%

And for all you Opera/lightweight, fast and sleek browser fans: I'd like to introduce you to Midori.
http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html
Official listed features:
* Full integration with GTK+ 2
* Fast rendering with WebKit
* Tabs, windows and session management
* Flexibly configurable Web Search
* User scripts and user styles support
* Straightforward bookmark management
* Customizable and extensible interface
* Extension modules can be written in C
Midori passes the Acid3 test.
Among the latter features are:
* Internationalized domain names support
* Extensions
o Adblock
o Form history
o Mouse gestures
o Cookie management
* Maemo integration for mobile devices
* Speed Dial
* Feed Panel
There's a Windows version too. I'm currently using it as my 'other' browser since I can't really live without vimperator and video download helper for FF any more...

Chrome. Especially when on my small laptop. Chrome's Tab's, Address Bar, and Bookmarks, doesn't take up half the screen like FF does. I like Chrome Tabs use separate process. When one tab crashes, it doesn't effect the rest of tabs.
|
I also like Chrome, very clean and minimal.

Say again? (that's my FF in the picture if you're confused)

I use Safari in Mac OS X, and Chrome in Windows. All of these browser performance comparisons are all done in Windows... I'm a little interested to see what the numbers look like between Chrome and Safari on Safari's home turf.
One thing I love about Chrome is when you're closing tabs, the tabs don't resize until you move the mouse away from the tab bar. Makes closing a bunch of tabs really easy compared to other browsers.

been using Opera since version 4, but I can see myself moving away from it. Ever since 10.5 Shacknews chatty has been broken and despite being pointed at the cause it hasn't been fixed. 10.5 also nerfed MDI and introduced weird corner cases with gestures. I'm still using 10.10, but that's getting increasingly old and if they can't get 10.70 fixed up I'll have to be out of there

Firefox, mostly because it has this addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/5890) which displays the tabs vertically on the left side of the window. i would never want to have it the other way again, so i have to wait until other browsers catch up and copy that feature 
|
I love me some firefox. Adblockplus is amazing.
|
I heard only Girlie Men use IE8 and below.
|
whats with the ie bashing ? its actually pretty lightweight and remarkably does not crash on me every few hrs. something that i could never get ff and chrome to not do. the only bad thing is that the download manager is prehistoric and accelerators are useless.
opera is by far the best browser i have ever used however some sites hate it ):

Hope Chrome wins this one, I just switched yesterday. On a side note, if anyone can point me to some good themes, that would be great.

I like Chrome, but I'm already so used to FF and have it set up so nicely I'm too lazy to make any decision to switch.
|
i use opera/chrome.
ie 9 looks cool but still in heavy dev and ff is a little bloated for me
|
Safari on OSX (where I spend most of my time), Firefox4 on Windows. Although Chrome comes close to Safari, ever since Safari started supporting extensions there's a few I can't live without anymore  .
