I love firefox. Lately I've been using Firefox 3, also when I'm designing I use Opera a lot because in my experience if Opera displays it right, then it's well coded.

Firefox 3 for me... almost all of the FF2 plugins work if you force them to and it's so fast. The nightly builds are better than the point releases.

#4OmniWeb (Mac only). :)
It uses the WebKit (Safari) engine, so it is great at rendering.
Its preferences are very smart...one of my favorites is "block images matching known ad sizes". Preferences can be saved per-site, nice for cookie management. OmniWeb also lets you create a list of regexes for things to always load and things to never load, e.g. files from known ad servers.
It has some unique features too. For example, you can "yank" any text field from a web page into its own window, at which point you can make it as big as you want. Also, its tabs show miniature web pages.
The "downside" (if you can call it that) is that the browser isn't free. But it is cheap at $15, and for something I use 100 times a day I figure I can afford it.

#6Opera. Though once I get some free time and get a little better at C, my secret wish is to resurrect Dillo (http://www.dillo.org/).

#7I used to be a Camino guy, but Firefox 2 with the Vimperator plugin won me over.

#8When I'm on Windows and have 40 tabs in Firefox (with Firefox closed), I often open IE6 if I only need to look at a quick piece of information (like check my e-mail). Opening Firefox would take two minutes or more (just to load the tabs). Same goes for Opera and all the other browsers. IE is built right into Windows so it already has all the necessary components loaded.

#9Put me down for Safari. I use WebKit nightlies which are very fast, and passes the most Acid3 tests right now. ;) The latest additions for :nth-child are a godsend and I can't wait for it to be implemented elsewhere. (No more odd/even classes!) Since I'm on an old iBook, the speed difference between Safari and Firefox is amazing. I don't know if Apple's cheating or Gecko is just unoptimized for the PowerPC.
Note that both like to eat RAM like no tomorrow. I haven't found a decent one that doesn't like 256MB+ after an hour's browsing.
