Chrome for browsing, Firefox for development, IE (mainly 6 and 7) to see how many things I need to redo after my Firefox development is finished.

Same here. Except I use Chromium instead of Chrome.

Vimperator.

Though a comment here informed that there's a fork called Pentadactyl, so I'm going to try that out:

Perhaps instead of this poll, pg could simply toss some page analytics onto hackernews? To be honest, I was surprised when I didn't see any trackers in the page source.

He doesn't need a js tracker if he just looks at logs. While analytics adds a lot of cool features, it is often to the users detriment.

I block analytics with AdBlockPlus because it often adds multi-second delays to page loading.

IMO you should respect the site you like and often use. If they want analytics, let them have it, it's the least you can do.

Mondays: Chrome; Tuesdays: Frustrated with WebKit inspector, switch to latest Firefox 4 beta; Wednesdays: Annoyed with sluggish performance, switch to Safari; Thursdays: Feel like I'm not on the cutting edge, switch to Chromium; Fridays: Realize I'm a front-end developer and need Firebug, switch back to latest Firefox 4 beta and hope Firebug's been updated since Tuesday

Pretty much my cycle minus Safari. Although some CSS demos only works on Safari so I have it installed.

Camino because neither Firefox nor Chrome are "Mac enough". :)

A new Camino alpha (Camino 2.1a1) will be released very soon.
