What's your browser of choice?

I personally use chrome and firefox the most, hate IE and safari and have never used opera

I'm a Firefox diehard. Not only have I been using it for years, but no other browser out there supports the same level of customizability, or the same variety of addons. Chrome is getting better with its addon support, but it's still not as good as FF, and there's also the fact that it has a terrible over-simplified user interface, and built-in data mining tools for Google.

Firefox for years and now the last couple I have been running WaterFox the 64 bit variant of Firefox. IE only gets used rarely when I have no other options.

I also use firefox most of the time. Only use IE to download firefox, or viewing website that are IE only.

I use IE 11 that comes with Windows 8.1. It's been working fine so far.

Chrome.

Iceweasel,(Debian enhanced Firefox) Opera 12.14, and Qupzilla. Qupzilla is a WebKit based browser that doesn't have the completely obnoxious Chromium style interface.

Close tie between Chrome and Firefox, but in the end, the former wins.

Having used Windows XP, I got stuck when Microsoft didn't make IE9 compatible, and browsing started getting slower and slower, apparently because many sites weren't liking IE8 any more.

I switched to Firefox and haven't looked back.

Oddly enough, if I wanted to get an update from Microsoft, their website wouldn't allow me to navigate using Firefox, and I just plain HAD TO use IE8, which (strangely enough) worked okay on their site.

For everything else, Firefox.

Opera

I started using Opera back when it was a paid subscription browser.

I didn't know IE exclusive website existed but more and more lately I am experiencing sites that will not accept IE, but I know less about this technical stuff than an alleycat knows about working on a NASCAR pit crew.

Chrome on my computer and tablet, unfortunately my phone is so old it's not Chrome compatible so I have the generic browser on my phone

I made it a personal mission to NEVER use IE.

I'll never forget getting Netscape 1.0 and Eudora light on a floppy when I first went online in 1995

When on Windows, I use Firefox.
When on Apple devices (macbook, ipad, iphone), I use Safari.

I use Firefox, It's is the most secure web browser in the world. Ya it may lack a few features and performance that you can find in other browsers but if you take security seriously. nothing out there can beat Firefox.

I do occasionally use Chrome wot and then.

Eh, I thought websites quit doing that sometime around the mid 2000s. Unless you happen to be stuck in South Korea, in which case any website that requires a government ID number (which afaik is any SK-based website that requires a login) requires you to use some ancient ActiveX encryption plugin which has not been ported to other browsers
