I mainly use Firefox 7 as my browser (I'm using the betas) because its extensions are just too good to pass up. IE9 also sees some use from time to time because of its speed.
I don't feel any real need to install Chrome on this computer, though it is also a very fast browser.

I use Chrome, it works good, and I don't really want add-ons and stuff, Chrome seems fine like it is right now. I've tried Firefox and Opera, and switched back to Chrome about after a week of using them.

Safari (actually a WebKit beta build.)

It's lightning fast compared to Firefox 6, which is painfully slow. Camino and Chrome (and the current stable version of Safari) are decently fast but the former tries too hard and the latter doesn't try hard enough. Opera is terrible on the Mac and always has been.

On Windows I use Firefox (with NoScript) mainly because it's easy, but I rarely browse on Windows at all, except to grab mods for New Vegas or whatever, so its slowness is not a big deal.

I use Firefox 6. Greasemonkey is possibly the greatest thing I have ever put on any of my web browsers.

I use Firefox 6.

Does it constantly crash or "Not Respond" for you?

Sometimes it stops responding, but not often, and it has never crashed for me.

Chrome can be nice but I'm more familiar with using Firefox.

I used to use Safari, but once I discovered that with Firefox and adblock plus I'd never have to see an ad before a video again, I switched. I've tried Chrome, but I just prefer Firefox.

On the computer I'm using at the moment, I use Chrome. It's the fastest browser that this old XP can use. It's a wireless router connection so it seems to work better that way. My other computer is wired and Firefox is the way to go for that one.

Chrome. Ever since Adblock Plus came out for Chrome, I haven't really used Firefox. I just love Chrome's speed. (Well, technically it's Chromium, since I'm on Linux) Adblock is all I need, so it works wonders for me.

Not to mention that Chrome is much more conservative with screen real estate. Netbooks have SMALL screens.
