I like the customisation too. But I voted other, because I use Firefox for most things with NoScript, AdBlock Plus, Better Privacy and Ghostery. However, I use Chrome with everything turned off exclusively for Facebook. If I needed to do anything with Outlook web access or other work related things, I used IE8/9 (although this has stopped since I've left Lanzarote). Having a seperate browser for Facebook is essential for me and Chrome does that ok, but I wouldn't dare use it for anything else as I hate it.

Firefox.
I'm limited to IE at the office though.
I tried Safari but didn't really get on with it, although it's better than Chrome (from my limited experience).

Firefox and Camino at home after I encountered hard lock ups using Safari (I think it was Java related). I like the Firefox addons - I have NoScript, AdBlock Plus and the Zen Internet Usage viewer (show's how much of my download allowance is used/total each month). Oh yeah, and the British English dictionary. Use IE8 at work (although that's only in the last month as I was on IE7 and many machines still have IE6  ).

Firefox, I keep trying Chrome, but it I just can't get comfortable with it.
I use Firefox and Chrome on my phone.
I use NoScript, Flashblock and LastPass addons in Firefox.

I voted Firefox because that's what I usually prefer, but I'm actually posting this on Chrome. Chrome has better memory management and this PC only has 1GB.

Funny, I found Firefox uses less memory, generally - at least since they fixed the memory leak in version 10; I reported it as a bug in version 2.something!

Interesting so many are using Chrome. I'm assuming we're pretty relaxed about the all seeing eye of Google then? Has it improved since this was written?

I voted Safari. It came on the Mac and I stuck with it. I also installed Chrome but rarely use it.
At work I also use Chrome and IE.
Funnily enough I do go near Firefox anymore. I used to use it before I got the Mac at home and at work.

I use Chrome on the PCs at home, as it seems faster than IE, and I use Opera on the phones, as I like the tabs.
