Now, as you can tell, chrome is my favorite browser. Tell me, what's yours?
Oh and mods, my ipod screwed up and sent this post while i was fixing the title. Can you please change it to, "favorite web browser?" In order to make this topic not misleading?

I use Firefox for most of my internet browsing.

On the Market search Chrome, and you should find it.

I use Safari on my Mac and Safari on my iOS devices, and Chrome on Windows since Firefox is horribly slow for some reason there.
I don't really "browse" much on iOS unless it's for something specific that isn't news; I generally use Flipboard (an app EVERYONE should get, especially now that an Android version is out if your device supports it) to help collect interesting things from around the internet into a very readable, friendly form instead.
Chrome for iOS is too slow for my aging iPhone 3GS unfortunately. I think you need a 4S or an iPad 2 for it to really run acceptably well. It seems to just be a wrapper around the built-in WebKit engine (Chrome uses the same rendering engine Safari does even on PCs.)

On iOS, I use Dolphin. It's a heck of a lot better than Safari, that's for sure. The gestures in particular are what really make it great. I just wish there was some way to tell Siri to use Dolphin instead of Safari for web searches.

I understand that Chrome has some of these features, some of them as add-ons, but so many of them are just carbon copies of stuff Firefox has been doing for awhile now...except with all the options in different places, which is annoying.

Opera's started to fall behind the other two browsers in terms of quality, in my opinion -- it was hugely forward-thinking for its time and used to be my main browser, but recent releases have had a lot of bugs and I don't really like the interface as much anymore. Although most features I use extensions for in Firefox are built-in in Opera, I don't really like their implementations. One plus is that Opera is almost as fast as Chrome, though. Oh, but their mobile browser is pretty good, or at least the best of the... two I think I've used? I haven't tried the Chrome one yet. Admittedly, I don't do much mobile browsing.
I still ain't touchin' IE with a ten-foot pole, although it has improved markedly in recent years. I do seem to recall having less issues developing for its renderer in recent years, at least compared to IE6... but I just don't care for its interface -- it's kinda clunky -- and I have no idea how good its extendability and feature set really are. Also, I have reservations about using it because of how uncool it'd make me. I mean I'd be like someone's grandpa or something if I used it. Nobody wants that.
Safari is awful on Windows. Cold glass of water in hell, my butt. More like lukewarm glass of water because the ice has melted and there's a bunch of specks of something of indeterminate origin in it and it's gross and trust me seriously you really don't want to drink it. Okay so maybe I'm, like, exaggerating, but it's really slow and kinda broken on Windows. I'm sure it's great on OS X; I'm just not an OS X user.
I can't believe I wrote a post this long about web browsers. Hi.
