Have you seen the new Opera 11 released today? Pretty cool with all the new features like stacking tabs, extensions, etc.
 
I am now using IE 8 on this Acer pc, did recently upgrade it to IE 9 Beta but had to remove the upgrade, although it worked perfectly, it was not recognised by my main stockbroking account. Maybe IE 9 will be fully up and running before end of 2011.
 
My favourite is Google Chrome. Google Chrome is user freindly web browser. Google Chrome Portable is a web browser that runs web pages and applications with lightning speed.Google Chrome works in Multiple Process System where every process example,HTML,Java Scriptand Plugins.
 
Firefox has served me well since it's creation, and it shall continue to do so. At least until it is overcome by a better browser.
 
Obviously you can see which browser is the superior one by just looking at their names...

Internet Explorer (Microsoft)
Is for newbies who is still taking their first baby steps into the what hopefully soon will be and for some of us is now, an alternative world.
Of course we all know that means only old people and children use it :D

Mozilla Firefox
You can hear the awesomeness of this browser just by saying Firefox out loud... Firefox... anything with fire is just good and admitedly the fox could be better like bear... Firebear... oh or dragon... and if you cap it... FIREDRAGON!!
Fear not though, it's done on purpose so there'll be room for improvements, which brings us to Mozilla... granted it's not the most grand name and does resemble the Italian cheese but it could be worse... once it's completely done and has been through it's full potential then everyone will want to use it but only few select loyal ones will understand and truly value its awesomeness... look out for RAGING FIREDRAGON!! in few years it will blow your mind! :D

Opera
No no no no no!! Heck no!!

Netscape
This one has potential not awesome potential like firefox but still useable... it's mostly targetted for women as firefox can be too awesome for most of them and it's a way to escape the "real" world, though there is some that mistakenly use it to escape the net, why anyone would do that is beyond me.
Rumor has it that it soon will release a new version Realscape but that is not true as due to financial crisis they had to make some silly cutbacks... it's a shame a real shame but hopefully they'll recover before they get surpassed by its competitor Facescape, (yes it's a disgusting combination with facebook... you'll never truly be free from them!) :eek2:

Safari (Macintosh & Microsoft)
This is what you get when you dabble into the dark arts of necromancy bringing "life" back to the dead... it started with a drunken travel to Africa when Bill Gates thought he had a good idea and to be honest who can really blame him? all good ideas start with a cold one ;-)
Macintosh is dead though it doesn't know it yet, there's still people out there that leads a good life and crave for some misery or people that like being kept out from good games etc. I suppose the Mac. is useable for them, do not try to save them cause it's a lost cause they will inevidably deny it, pity them and try save their children (if they have any) by introducing a better computer and a better browser.

Konqueror (Linux)
This is the ultimate one, this is what we all should strive for CONQUEROR TOKEN!!
oh sorry... was getting lost there... anyone that can save themselves and bring the fight back to Microsoft use Konqueror... it's a freedom fighting browser trying to save you from the clutches of evil, Microsoft!
If only I had and could use Linux then I'd join the fight but some of use sacrifice ourselves for a more noble cause... anyway as I was saying if you want to free yourself from Microsoft then I definately recommend Konqueror :D

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is the latest new browser for the masses that can't think and prefer to be guided by a sheepherder, nothing wrong with that though it does tend to make one a bit boring... kinda like iPhone :D
It's the fanciest browser out there and does make you look cool amongst the sheeps but boring as well ;-)
 
Don't be too harsh on the mac users...(I am one), and what's soo bad about Chrome. It's fast, and helping you search increases the amount of productivity instead of having to search for it by yourself...
 
I use Google Chrome, i don't know about other web browsers, but chrome has automatic translation, and is faster than other browsers for me.
 
I haven't changed from FireFox since joining the Linux ranks. Does the job and much more. :)
 
It's finally happened: after almost a decade of using Mozilla and Firefox, I have finally turned my back on FF after revisiting Google Chrome. Chrome is slimmer, faster and offers almost the same add-ons. Sometimes it makes sense to follow the crowd...
 
Because it's the end of the year, and because I am a google (chrome) fan, I thought let's post the top 2011 Google Chrome extensions here:

1. Xmarks Bookmark Sync
If there's an extension that's necessary for users of multiple computers—and even multiple browsers on the same or multiple computers—it's Xmarks.

2. LastPass
The PCMag choice for encrypted password storage and filling out forms is available across platforms and browsers. Naturally, you'll want it on Chrome.

3. Evernote Web Clipper
If you haven't set up an Evernote account, then you're probably not storing much data from the Web. It's practically the gold standard for quickly clipping info, even entire pages, for future reference.

4. Offline Google Mail
This extension lets you access your Gmail account even when there's no Internet available (such as on your commute)...

I used to use FF exclusively but these days Chrome for me as well.
 
I went Mozilla Firefox because it is the one I have always used and now I really like it :-)
Also, I find Internet Explorer to ad like. There are to many ads. Buts that's just my personal preference.
