Firefox because I have it set up how I like it, it's good with loads of tabs (Tab Groups are amazing!), and the memory footprint is not excessive. Plus it would mean giving in if I switched to Chrome, especially as I have seen no really compelling reason to switch.

I use Mozilla Firefox because it's lightweight and I personally trust it more than Chrome.

Chrome because it's fast and my explorer doesn't work, I wasn't going to use it in the first place because it's super slow.

IE, because it's already installed on my laptop and I can't possibly be asked to install a new one.

Do not  as I  do, and  not  as I say. Instead do as you may..

Chrome, because it's stable, fast and it syncs everything up and it actually works.

Chrome, it's simple and does what I need.

Generally, I use Firefox, mostly because it has just become a common denominator for me.  I also have Chromium, not Chrome, installed for web development testing, but I has too many features missing for daily use.  Currently I am also using IE for sites with Flash because there is something horribly wrong with the newest Flash plugin for Firefox, fully loading a CPU core just to watch a video.

 

I don't like the data mining that Google does, and I'm sick of having to refresh pages that only get partially rendered in IE, althought I've found that with most common websites IE11 is actually the same speed as FF and Chrome, given it actually loads all of it the first time.  I like Waterfox, Pale Moon (another speed optimized FF), and Opera, but they aren't recognized by a lot of third party applications, so I loose features in those.

I use Google Chrome for general web browsing. I love the way it handles bookmarks.
I use IE 11 (Desktop mod) for youtube and other video playback (I find IE handles hardware acceleration better than most web other web browsers).

I use Firefox for tesing

I don't like the UI in Opera and i find Safari very buggy on windows

Firefox Australis. I use it because it has the best new tab page ever of any browser I have used. (Ephesis on the "I have used" there may be a better ones but this is the best one that I have found)

 

I also use IE11 on my tablet because touch screens and stuff.

I use Firefox because I've used it forever, since before chrome was a thing. She has been good to me so I have no plans to switch. Chrome is ok, but the inanbility to change where the buttons are frustrates me. I know I can just get used to it, but why should I when Firefox is just as good and is more customizable?

Chrome at the moment, because its fast, might be moving to Firefox soon though as the latest stable chrome update has broke magnet link support

Chrome because of syncing, but I might give Firefox a try for the first time in years.
