Just a poll that lingers on nearly every other forum out there...
It's a simple question really: "What browser do YOU use?"
I'm only using the main browsers with this poll (no need to go into others).
Along with that question, it would be nice to have responses of WHY you use that particular browser (Stability? User Interface? Speed? Security? Customization? Features?).
MY PART OF THE POST:
I myself use Opera Browser as my first choice. The dev's are very innovative and come up with things other browsers take years to adopt. Its extremely small (@10MB) and can be portable.
I hope not to bore you from reading this, I tried to make it short and bring up the main topics to this browser.
Speed: Superb, especially if you're on dial-up (see features).
Security: Updates are often (you can't say IE8 is the most secure browser if they don't update security issues).
Configurability: Way to in-depth for this post.
Features: All of these main features come "out-of-the-box" (so no need to install them separate).
"Opera Unite" allows me to sync all my browser's data together on multiple machines (and phones).
"Opera Turbo" compresses data before sending it to you (greatly used for phones with limited bandwidth).
"Opera Link" synchronizes all of my browsing data between other PC's and Phones (such as bookmarks/history/favorites)
"Opera Unite" allows me to share data with friends (e.g. pictures/music/files/web-pages) as if my PC were a server.
"Opera Dragonfly" Perfect to troubleshooting any problems with websites (for web developers) (it's like FireBug for FF)
User Interface: The UI that comes with this browser is interesting compared to other browsers, it would look somewhat like Chrome, but more customization, layouts and themes.
Stability: This is the only thing I would have against this browser, but if you're signed up on their forums, you get responses in a flash and if it's major, it's usually fixed in the next update.
