I use Firefox, but specifically the indev version dubbed "Nightly." It keeps getting faster with each update and the addons, the customization, security, and the lack of google spyware make it so fucking useful. Plus there is the bonus of it being open source.

On older computers I use Midori. Which is like a stripped down Firefox that uses Webkit instead of Gekko to render pages. It is pretty cool and uses very little ram while at the same time having some of the functionality of more popular Firefox addons built-in.

Chrome/Chromium is a good browser at its core, but people shy away from it because of the whole spyware deal. Which is totally understandable. Has some addons but not as many as Firefox. Zero customization.

Opera is very good browser like Firefox is. It is fast and light on resources. But there is no real addon community to the thing other than Adblock. Not a lot of customization, but not as little as Chrome. It has features/utilities like Firefox does but also a bunch of uneeded ones that they could easily just take out and cut down on a lot of code. Sadly, not open source.

IE and Safari are outdated and pretty much inside jokes with programmers, techies, and people who work in the industry. Normals still use them because they do not actually know what a web browser is, or that you can use a different one if you choose to. They just buy their new computer and think "How do I get on the Internet? I click Internet Explorer! Or do I double-click it?"

Outside of those people, I do not know why anyone would use anything other than Firefox or Opera. Those are the two best browsers.

Firefox usually, Opera if that doesn't work, Chrome or IE if someone wants to use my laptop and i don't want them seeing my history.

Pentadactyl is a great Firefox extension that allows you to control your browser with Vim-like keystrokes. It's nice since my mouse has almost no room to move around.

If you believe everything you read, Chrome hadn't been released when this thread was started.
Would you consider Opera more obscure than Maxthon and Sleipnir?
