Opera.

It's the dog's bollocks, the bees knees, the wasp's nipples, and every major erogenous zone of anything you care to mention.

Especially Opera 8.

Firefox with NoScript and Adblock is the minimum acceptable set up for any sort of extended browsing, personally.

I have other extensions, but I hardly use them.

EDIT: 9 in total.

Firefox, but the only extra thing I actually have bothered to install is the Athens system toolbar, which does come in handy as it saves me pissing about trying to get to the different resources each time I want to find a paper.

Firefox all the way!

For anybody who looks at online porn, have you seen the Pornzilla site? There are some excellent resources there that turn Firefox into the best porn browser available. The best thing there is the Linked Images bookmarklet, but you should use version 2.0 for the maximum porn-browsing experience. It's very nice.

EDIT: I just discovered the Thumbs extension, which shows the first thumbnail from every linked image gallery. It's awesome.

Oops; edited for clarity. For part of the explanation as to why I use Firefox as well, see Sketerpot's post. :)
