Firefox 16.0 (I'm on the Beta Channel), due to the consistent performance, and relatively fast startup and opening. My favourite addons work on Firefox (Flashgot), and it is supported by my university's websites (whereas some online quizes do not work on Chrome, and sometimes IE is not recommended).

This thread isn't really prompting in depth discussion.

I suggest perhaps you additionally add why you are using said browser. If the thread degrades into a mindless browser war then it will be locked.

On Windows 7, I use Chrome (it's the easiest to install and the quickest to load up) however I may move away since I've been getting problems with it on Windows.

On my Arch Linux machine, I use Chromium because it runs pretty perfect on here, it's like it was meant to run on Linux.

Good idea, I'll add my reasoning shortly. Haven't seen you before.

You genuinely run lynx as your primary browser? What OS are you running?

I use it for its features and its addons have. Addons like Adblock, DownloadHelper, Greasymonkey, NoScript, PDF Download, Save Session and WOT are more than necessary.

I use Safari as my default on my OS X partition - it integrates into the OS nicely, is genuinely fast and speedy, has a large collection of extensions and is genuinely pretty awesome.

On Windows I use Chrome, more out of habit at this point than anything. Plus it syncs with Chrome on my Android tablet and my iPhone, which is a plus.

Opera since 10.10 when it used to the lightest browser, I had 256 MB of RAM and every other browser was too slow. Things have changed and Opera is not the lightest anymore, but it is faster and as safe as it used to be. Also I've been using Opera Link since then and I sync all of my bookmarks on all of my computers and cellphone.

I used to use Opera, it was very fast (including option for light browsing, which was useful for dialup), it had mouse gestures, and had tabs (back when other browsers needed extensions for it).

About the syncing, I used Chrome for a while with both my laptop and netbook, which was very nice, since all the changes I made to the looks and addons on my main computer were immediately synced onto my netbook, and any bookmarks made on my netbook went onto my main PC, but then I just returned to FF, and Chrome runs really slow now.

Firefox is not a light browser though, with 2 tabs (both BA), its currently using 189mb...

It's another search engine, though this one claims to have better answers and it doesn't track you. The reality is that they are years behind Google and their semantic search. It's nice to use though.

The mouse gestures are pretty useful but the catch is that doing them on a trackpad can be really difficult. And Opera Turbo is a nice proxy too :P

On my systems that run Linux or other *NIX stuff (most of my computers) I use lynx. But on my Windows boxes I use Firefox.

I use Chrome because it's the most light weight and stable browser I've found. I used to use Firefox until it became as bloated as it is today and had to constantly be restarted due to memory leaks. >_>
