What browser do you use?

Firefox 2.0.something at the office.

Firefox 3.x at home :smile:
 
At the office, IE 6

At home, Firefox 2.xxxxx
 
Had Firefox for a while and then switched back to Explorer.
 
Mostly use Safari 3, with some Firefox thrown in for variety. A little IE7 for site testing (I'm a web programmer during the day).
 
Firefox v1.5.0.7 on a Fedora 6 install.
 
<span style="color: #CC33CC">Avant Browser</span> (no button for that one! :shocked: ).

A really nice tabbed browser intercade built on top of the IE controls. Download is about 1MB. Has loads of features (ad & popup blockers, autofill userid/password, etc.) and only ever has 1 window - keeps the clutter down and makes it really easy to find a browser session. Allows online storage of your bookmarks and auto-fills so you can have the same set available at home and at work!
 
Thanks for the input. There are several I didn't put on there, avant, flock, and a few others.

Not debating, just FYI - Firefox has all the features you mentioned (and more) provided through simple add-on functions. I'd been keeping all my machine's bookmarks "synched" using my own webserver, but with Firefox 3 I switched to foxmarks.

They also have a built-in "de.licio.us" syncher if you're into that. I'm trying it, haven't decided if I like the whole de.licio.us/digg/etc idea, but with de.liciou.us you can share your bookmarks with other people - if that floats your boat, great.

The good news is both the foxmarks and the <span style="font-style: italic">new</span> de.licio.us add-ons works transparently to keep the bookmarks on all my machines synched up. I can do a bunch of work on my desktop machine, then fold open my laptop and a few seconds later they pop up there.

More later...
