What browser do you use?

IE (does this option even still exist and if so, tell me where you live so I can come over and pee on your doorstep)
Firefox
Chrome
Detta
Something else
I haven't had to use a browser since I turned it upside down and degaussed it.

Browser Wars

I'm just curious because I really hate Chrome but Firefox has royally pissed me off too. I'm pretty un-adept at modifying things unless someone wants to step-by-step it.  :|

Chrome is currently the browser I marginally hate the least.

All browsers piss me off.

I use the first three on that list every day.

IE is required for some work web based programs.
Firefox for personal stuff, like this site on my work PC.
Chrome for my work email and Google apps.

In fact I have all three up right now.

At home I use FF mostly.  I use Tab Mix Plus and love it. Don't think I can set the same behaviors in Chrome.

I use Chrome and like it just fine.

I'm so pleased that at least 2 people use me for their browsing pleasure!
