What is your favourite web browser and why?

main browser is firefox. why ? because of things like greasemonkey and range of addons like firebug. if i'm not using fox well then it's IE8 and it's dev tools...
 
IE 6 was my favorite, only reason I'm using 8 right now is because sites aren't compatable anymore. Firefox and opera lag out my whole system whenever I try and open anything thats not text, and chrome is just plain useless if your internet connection isn't as fast as a sub-space transmitter. And with IE I don't have to search through a million directories just to make a backup of my favorites.

IE 8 for the most part.

for some reason firefox, chrome and all the others hate me and never want to work correctly when i try to use them, same as intel pc's and mac's, they start to malfunction whenever i get near them

lol, seem we share the came curse where as instead it's amd and ati with me :D
 
Chrome. I've been using it since its first public beta ages ago. There's just nothing like it.

2nd place: Opera.
 
I use firefox. It may be a little bit slower than GC, but it's so much more fully featured. Plus it come as a default on ubuntu :love:. I have Google Chrome, but I hardly use it as it just goes fast, and I can do more stuff with firefox with all of the plugins. GC is catching up with its plugins but will still be a long way behind FF. IE can GTFO. Except for maybe IE9, which has some HTML5, but still. Opera I only have on my mobile phone and it's great as a browser there. I've seen it on a PC and FF is better, IMO.

Devtools that neo mentioned.
Easy to access, edit and backup favorites.
Not using up half your system resourses just to load up a tiny animated smiley.
Able to refesh individual parts of a page instead of having the reload the entire site.

Firebug
Its called Boomarks, thats what every browser has called it, but no, IE has to be like the "special kid" :rolleyes:
So glad when I found gifview, so I didn't have to use IE to see Gifs :wtf:
FF does that

the dev tools (pressing F12) are seriously good if you need to develop webpages or are looking for that script bug and so on. yes FF has firebug, but in some cases IE's dev tools is better.

one thing that's horrendous about IE is that ms just can't keep to fucking standards.
ie 7 does it this way, but no ie 8 has to do it that way... makes life a bitch when you
have to dev for it...
