What Browser Do You Use?

FF3 and Opera9.
I like Opera because if you accidentally close a tab, CTRL-Z puts it back. I don't know why I discovered that. Reflex from the old UNDO? - fid

Didn't you guys have a script or some shit that when people connected to the site, the site kept track of what browser they were using?

Opera 9+.
I've had bad experiences with FF. I'll never touch that memory leaking open source piece of crap again.

ie7 4 life
Other than the fact its a memory hog compared to some other browsers, it is fine to use.

Right now I'm on FF3, which I loathe and detest with a passion, but nonetheless see as the best of a bad lot. I've FF2 on my other main PC, much better aside from the memory leaks (it wasn't uncommon for it to be using 500 MB or more at times). I'm liking what I've seen of IE8 so far; the ribbon interface looks like it's going to be really effective, and if MS can unlock some of the customization that's possible in FF (as well as allowing for easier and more intuitive config of common-sense security stuff), and don't fall into the trap of making it a "Vista only" release (but oh how seductive that may seem to them) then I may be persuaded to switch.
It's a sure sign that something's badly wrong when just navigating to a web page uses 100% CPU, and I get that on my third PC, also FF3, but which is admittedly an ancient clunker. I think it's gone too far down the route of interpreted scripts, which is fine in a sense, but sometimes you just want a lightweight and super-fast browser. Unfortunately I'm too used to the FF feature set by now.
IE7 still gets occasional use - there's always the odd site that's just plain broken on FF, whether requiring Active-X (far from the "run screaming in terror" nightmare it used to be), or botched table layouts, or whatever.

WTF @ pic... Holy shit
Mostly Firefox 3, although if I'm feeling bored, I'll take a look in Lynx...
