I use Firefox/Linux, but I happen to have8 other browsers installed...

ELinks 0.10.2
Opera 7.54
Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (under WINE for site testing).
w3m 0.5.1
Konquerer 3.3.2
Lynx 2.8.5
Galeon 1.3.19 (yet another Gecko based browser)
Mozilla 1.7.5 (needed to run Galeon)

EDIT: Added Mozilla

I usually use FireFox on my PCs, but I messed it up the other day trying to install a Moox build that screwed up FireFox completely and now the installer crashes so I've been using Mozilla.

Mozilla 1.6 (Smoke theme).

I suppose I should probably update it, shouldn't I, since I just found out that they're up to version 1.7.5?

Soon to be 1.8- I'd just wait.

I thought you hated Mozilla browsers and preferred Opera due to them being Netscapish?

Too late, I already just updated to 1.7.

I switched sometime over a year ago, pretty much on a whim. Before that I used IE. My problems with Mozilla being too much like Netscape disappeared ever since I started using the Smoke theme.

I've never used Opera in my life. Don't even know what it looks like.

Personally, I don't like the banner ads and the UI clutter, but it's pretty fast compared to Firefox on a PIII-550. Still, Firefox has better compatibility and extendability.

I use Firefox 1.0.1 on Linux. Up until recently I used Konquerer, but AdBlock sold me.
I also have the following browsers installed for testing:

MSIE 3.02 (Wine)
MSIE 4.01 (Wine)
MSIE 5.01 SP2 (Wine)
MSIE 5.5 (Wine)
MSIE 6.0 SP1 (Wine)
Epiphany 1.07
Galeon 1.3.12
Mozilla 1.6
Netscape 1.1 (Wine)
Netscape 2.0 (Wine)
Netscape 3.02 (Wine)
Netscape 4.8
Netscape 6.1
Netscape 7.1
Konquerer 3.2.0
Dillo 0.8.0
Links 2.1
Opera 7.51

Heh, I'm lazy... my idea of backward compatibility is that if you can easily get to the content, it's good enough, therefore I don't even bother doing scripting to support NS4.x, and make heavy use of CSS layouts and XHTML 1.0.

Obviously not acceptable for a business site, but meh, I'm not a serious developer in the first place.

Opera has served me well enough.

Well having IE versions older than 5 doesn't make much sense anyway

Firefox user here.

Firefox 1.0.1 with the Tabbrowser Extensions extension, among others.

Oh yeah, tabbed browsing is the best thing since non-sliced bread.

Firefox 1.01, standard, no plugins~

Safari 1.2.4.

Mozilla 1.7.5

Firefox 1.something on my main box (linux/winblows dual boot). Mozilla 1.7 on my laptop and my chat pc (so when I'm playing games I can still chat. God i'm hopeless).

Firefox 1.0 here. on the off chance i need to use an IE only based site, i've got the maxthon browser. browsers without tabs are annoying to use.

Firefox here. When something textbased is required I use elinks. I also have Konqueror on here but usually only use that for file managment (yeah, I'm a KDE guy. I deteste gnome. The two bars are retarded and I found it too frustrating trying to get everything to work right on one of them only so I gave up and never looked back. I do use alot of gnome apps like Gaim, GIMP and Grip though).

And I detest KDE... too bloated, and the stupid defaults are too cluttered. I find that I can live without KDE apps, but the reverse is not true (There is no KDE GIMP equivalent). And it's not that hard to set it up for 1 bar (though I keep two, and use up almost all the space on both of them. For file management I use the console, except when handling stuff from removable media or for performing actions on groups of random files as opposed to patterns. I detest KHTML's compatibility or lack thereof.

As for extensions, I have:
DOM Inspector
EditCSS - *Very* Useful
LiveHTTP
ColorZilla
Javascript Debugger (Venkman)

Tabbed browsing extension is too buggy.


Has any windows user tried K-Meleon < http://kmeleon.sf.net >? Based on Mozilla but a lot more lightweight since there's no XUL (lacks extendability of FF though).

Opera, fast, not bloated for me.

Moox M3 Build of Firefox 1.01. Perfect.

Opera. Before that, I used I.E....I'll never go back. Tabbed browsing is godly.

I use Opera. I'll never go back to IE.

Firefox is the shit.
