I tried FireFox and found it quite good but there was one thing I didn't like about it.

Sadly I can't remember what it was. :(

The more I learn of Google the less I like them. :y

Firefox primarily, Chrome as a back up and IE if desperate!   :y

I was using Chrome, but Firefox 4 Beta 9 seems to edge it out on the speed & stability stakes just a little.

Safari - everything else seems slower, even Firefox which would be 2nd favourite
