If you're going to use Visual Studio, then you should probably use IE as the debugging is directly linked back to the source code.

I always develop around Chrome - if it looks right in Chrome, it will probably look right in the majority of other browsers. However, bear in mind you will have to test using IE and add additional stylesheets to cater for earlier versions of IE.

Test and do everything in Chrome. You won't regret it at the end.

Chrome, but have Firefox and IE installed for checking that it looks like you expect.

I develop in Chrome, then check at each Milestone and adapt as necessary :)

I've experienced people developing and testing in Chrome and it results usually in things being broken in other browsers so suggesting Chrome only is a bad idea

Netscape. : )

i'd go with firefox or an older version of mozilla (if that still exists dunno).

That's a developer problem, not a technology problem.

My code is fully inter-operable between Firefox/IE/Chrome (and Opera for those that care..).

Chrome has the best dev tools, it renders how mobile platforms render, and it shows you how Chrome/Safari will render it.. So long as you aren't getting caught with -webkit usage, you should be fine.

Depends on the usage. I've always tested my code in Firefox mainly, and then tested in other browsers later. For intranet development though I've tended to use newer versions of IE alongside Firefox since IE's trust level settings can sometimes make a difference in loading of images and scripts and stuff. I personally find that Firefox has the best developer tools (Firebug, Web developer toolbar, 3D layer view, etc), and the tab groups means you can have a set of tabs for each thing you're working on, which I find useful.

I use Webstorm and the live edit plug-in for Chrome. Works great.

1. All of them, just to be sure it looks (& more importantly functions) right in them all.

2. Not a clue, there are so many reasons for a blue screen - what does it say exactly?
