I'm using Google Chrome right now. The interface is so intuitive and slick. Maybe some of you should give it a shot.

Firefox is second place IMO. It did a great job at improving the lives of Web Developers during its golden years, but the interface is just too clunky and slow compared to the competitors.
If chrome had Adblock then I would consider using it full time.

I dont get adblock, I installed it and havent found a single ad that I can block with it..  what am I missing?
My guess is that you either didn't set it up or like you said "havent found a single ad" ;P

Firefox because of the plugins. And the ability to mod the interface to be even less obtrusive than Chrome's. Though Chrome itself is also a very good browser. I wish Firefox had a task manager for tabs.

I like Chrome. It's fast and slick. Firefox looks so cluttered compared to Chrome. I also love google, so chrome wins.

I use Firefox pretty much exclusively. (except for Opera Mini on my cellphone) I can't be bothered to switch to anything else due to my lovely extensions and tons of bookmarks and saved passwords.

I will have to look into these skins. Chrome is faster though, I saw it in a statistic. Firefox plays Youtube better than Chrome though.

I started using Chrome after I couldn't find a way to stop my Firefox from crashing on every 4th website.

tbh, there is no "best" browser. I wish people would stop thinking there was. The only definite is that there is the worst, which is Internet Explorer hands down.

It may for you but anyone that has designed a website knows the horrors of making it IE compatible.
Please, use Firefox or something other than IE. PLEEEAAASE!

Well, yeah. End users not into customization or web development have no real reason or motivation to give a rat's ass. That's apparent.

Yes. Whenever one makes a website, they find it looks and works perfectly in all major browsers....except IE and then they spend endless hours screwing with it to make it work. Ever done a view source on a popular site and noticed all the IE specific conditionals? That proves my point.

Even if I did use Firefox, IE still has the largest amount of users, despite the poll results.

Mass boycott anyone?

Yes, it has the largest amount of users, when you take into account the grand sum of ALL internet users. These poll results just say the most Soldat people visiting this forum use Firefox, which is not surprising.

IE at least gives you a chance to download FireFox :P. IE 9 is coming out with Windows 7, and it looks pretty good. IE is also the fastest browser in getting the info on your screen. Chrome is second, FireFox is third. I love FF and GC downloads systems, Safari's and IE's SUCK.
