The latest IE on my Win7 PC, and the latest Safari on my Snow Leopard Mac. Simples.

still like IE.
chrome
IE
ff
is my ranking. only thing that bugs me about Chrome (and they keep changing it) is alt +s used to work now it doesn't. i have to use alt + shift + s to submit.... annoying but i can live with it.

Used to be a 'Firefox for life' guy like most people seem to be here, I used it for years. I thought I'd never bother with another browser. Then I tried chrome and never going back, I even uninstalled Firefox.
Chrome:
- Looks nicer
- Faster browsing and start-up
- Automatic bookmark sync (so can ditch xmarks)
- All add-ons I used to have for firefox are now available for chrome (and the chrome ones work better in some cases)
I'm glad I made the switch.

Chrome.
I used to use Firefox, but the perennial slowness and memory leaks that never seem to get fixed eventually convinced me to try Chrome out. Ran the two alongside each other for a while and then realized I wouldn't miss most of the things Firefox has over Chrome that much and jumped ship altogether. Best decision I've ever made.
I still use Firefox occasionally, but only really for web development; Firebug and the Web Developer toolbar mean it's still leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in this area.

Firefox... i keep my browser simple. Don't really bother with all these addons and whatever else... so as long as i can browse the net im fine
Sounds like Chrome would suit your needs perfectly

Ill have to try it.. though don't see need exactly.. FF does what i need so
Benefits of swapping if any?

faster plus some other bonuses you may find interesting
the application window is a good one for me, means I can pop open gmail etc as an app.

Where is the option for 'Pancake'?
Few seconds difference hehe, ill download it now anyway, get my bookmarks set up etc and use it and see how it is
Thanks
EDIT: Well that was easy to set up, took info from FF. Its actually a lot faster :O its like click and your done
Few things i don't like... like when i right click something and open it in a new tab - it doesn't move me to that tab. Theres open in new window and open in incognito window :S wtf lol?
Youtube and Gmail kept getting messed up, think i've fixed that now though

I've recently tried the IE9 Platform Preview http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/ and whilst not really usable as a main browser yet (no favourites bar / back button etc) as a demonstration of the engine I'm very impressed especially with its speed.
