I have to use Firefox for 8 of my programs, and IE for 4 of my programs. Some don't run right in FF.

I always use Google Chrome because it is faster, more reliable, and much simpler than any other browser.
Was on the Firefox wagon from the start but it has just gotten too bloated so I've been rocking Chrome although it can be buggy in a few instances. Much faster though.

I use all 3. Like Kitty says different browsers for different apps. Overall I use ff the most and ie the least.

I agree, mostly. I use Chrome 95% of the time. Sometimes, it just doesn't work. I occasionally have trouble doing certain things. Sometimes some EBAY features won't work correctly. I've had trouble doing ESN changes. That sort of stuff. So I do have IE on standby.

Firefox mainly because I think it uses less memory and its plugins are quite extensive.
Chrome secondarily because it's a bit quicker and hey, you can run Angry Birds! But when there are too many pages open it becomes unresponsive.
I need a better computer, really.

I use Safari 5.1.1 on my Mac and use Firefox 3.6.23 as a back up.
Each has its plusses and minuses.

Chrome first, then FF if things don't look right, then IE if things don't work. Web standards adhered to not. Active-X evil is. Shades of the dark side.

FF. But the thing is just when you've gotten it to the look and function you want... you're three versions behind :(

No kidding. The upgrades are crazy. I think they are trying to catch up to ie on version numbers.

All of them...
IE at work and it is an old version which sucks...
Google chrome at home unless I am doing work stuff then IE so that signin stuff will work
FF if Chrome won't work and it is not work related
Opera if at all possible on my phone
Anybody else have problems buying from Kitty using IE, my daughter can't use IE (I think it is a firewall issue) to get past the Security on Kitty's site, but if she opens Chrome she can complete the purchase. I was if FL visiting and could not figure out what was causing the problem, all the appropriate boxes are selected but it just won't pass through the security. She is a creature of habit and likes IE, so I tried to get it to work but nothing short of an uninstall(which I didn't do) would make it work.

+1,
and I am always fearful of upgrading FF because then the add-ons won't work because the add-ons are always a step behind.And then you get the constant reminder for you to upgrade.FF used to seem more laid back and user friendly.

You can try installing a lightweight linux distro especially if you have nothing window OS specific.

I use FF. Don't like the privacy on Chrome. Opera was too slow long ago - haven't tried recently.

I find Firefox overly complicated, and has unessecary things.
Chrome for the win.

Google Chrome for me. I'm stuck using IE at work, it crashes all the time and drives me crazy.

Another Chromie, on every WinBox I own. Fast, simple, elegant. Love it.
I should vote twice -- I use Safari on the Mac and the iPod Touch.
No IE for me. And no Firefox. Dabbled with it, but I like Chrome better
On my computers, I use Chrome, Maxthon, IE, and very rarely, Opera. I tried several times, but I never could like Firefox. The Maxthon I use is 1.6.5.18, a very old version, which was just a direct continuation of the last version of MyIE2 with a new name. I haven't been able to learn to like any of the newer Maxthon versions, which were complete re-writes.
On my Incredible, I use Opera Mini, Maxthon Mobile, and the built-in Android browser.
I use kmeleon which runs on the old f.f operation system,super fast,remembers all passwords,but a lot of sites like kodak wont let me in with it.ebays site and Kitty loves it tho.
You might want to try K-Meleon's included User Agent Switcher and set it to a recent version of FF to see if it then appeases Kodak.Is K-Meleon still being updated? http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/ indicates Latest Stable Release: K-Meleon 1.5.4 (2010-03-05). I had tried it in the past, and thought it had potential.

People seem to be still using K-Meleon, I'm not. The developers just don't seem to have the time to update. There's an Alpha 1.7 for the non-faint of heart, but even that release is "old," as in the end of 2010.

I voted for Firefox, but I just started using Chrome again. I did download it a while ago when it was first released, but it wasn't supported on a lot of the sites I frequented so I stopped using it. One thing I did find was DirecTV's website does not like signing me into my account using firefox, but it likes Chrome. Just added a few extensions and I'll see if I like it better than firefox now.

I've tried Opera, firefox, maxthon, IE, k-meleon, safari, lunascape(triple engine browser), and google. google seems to me the one that does all i need w/o having to switch browsers for certain needs
