Do you prefer to use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari?
I tried IE9 and I hate the layout. The tabs and address bar should not be on the same line, it just looks too cluttered. Microsoft should have copied Chrome's layout and put the tabs above everything else, this clears up a lot of space and leaves more room for the address bar.
I don't like Safari for the same reason, too much clutter. Plus it's a hassle to open new tabs. With every other browser, you simply click the "new tab" icon at the top of the browser.
So now I narrow down my preference to Chrome or Firefox. I haven't used the new Firefox much, but I do like how they copied Chrome's layout (tabs are above the address bar, and all the browser options are located in one icon). I like Chrome the best since it's simple, easy to use, and isn't cluttered.
Seems good to me. I'm currently using an older version because I'm on my netbook... notebook's fan stopped working so it overheats within a few minutes. Need to buy a new one but not gonna have enough until Tuesday. D:
This topic has been raised about 50 times since I've been here.
However, since I recently changed, I'll chime in again: Chrome.
I was using Firefox, mainly for the excellent Firebug extension and the fact that Google desktop software has historically been absolutely horrible (Google Toolbar etc), but then I ran into a problem over and over again: Firefox eats up ridiculous resources and starts freezing when I have 10 or so windows open with 20-ish tabs each. Sure, that's a ton of tabs, but I often am watching a number of things at work and need that. Chrome simply performs far better when it comes to having many, many webpages open at once. I've barely seen the slightest slowdown.
Oh, also the Chrome developer tools are an easy switch from Firebug.

Considering everyone here seems to use Chrome I'll give it another try when I get a new laptop. ...On that note: anyone have a spare $200ish so I can go and get one today? I can't do my Uni assignments until I get one and I don't receive any more money until Tuesday so I can't get one till Tuesday so I can't start my assignments until Tuesday. D:

@BenAV - To each their own. I understand that not many people like I.E. I only use I.E. for a few sites, but I largely use Chrome now (for this site, for Backloggery, and others). I downloaded Chrome because I remember having heard a year ago that Backloggery was only gonna operate for Chrome and Firefox users. But, then, I started using Chrome to go to other sites, and it really makes a difference.
Recently changed from IE9 to Chrome. Lets just say I won't be going back. Never had a problem with I.E before but after Version 9 my browsing slowed to a crawl so I decided to give Chrome a try. Very nice layout , clean and simple which is how I like my software (my tiny brain struggles with clutter!! ) and best of all very , very fast browsing. LOVE IT!!
