I've always used Internet Explorer since 1994, but decided to give Chrome a try until IE9 final is released.

How did you live in 2004-2006 with IE6? I used Internet Explorer as my primary browser up to late 2005 when i was sick of the automated ActiveX installation when accessing a dodgy site :cry:

Has to be Firefox on Windows (and Linux as well) as the primary combination.

browser/os combos used through the years:

IE on w98

IE in wme

NS on wme

mz on wme

mz on wxp

mz on linux

fb on linux (firebird-->before it was changed to ff)

fb on win2003

ff on win2003

ff on wxp

ie on win2008

ff on w2008

still using ff on win2008

devled into for short periods:

avant browser (ie clone) on wxp

opera browser on wxp

At Work:

(Casual Browsing) Firefox on Windows 7 x64

(Corporate Intranet) Internet Explorer on Windows 7 x64

(Mac Related Work) Safari on Mac OS X

At Home:

(Main Desktop PC/Media Centre) Firefox on Windows 7 x86

(BootCamp) Firefox on Windows 7 x64

(Mac) Chrome on Mac OS X

Chrome on Windows 7.

It's working alright, although I don't notice any speed differences between that and Firefox. Only thing Firefox has over Chrome is good extensions which I use quite a lot of, so when I bump into a site I want to use the extensions on,then I will use Firefox.

Latest Firefox build on Mac OS X primarily.

On Windows it's Firefox stable, same for Ubuntu and Mac OS X on my netbook. :)

I tend to start Chrome when I'm in a hurry though and need a web browser that just starts up blazing fast, you know, when all my comfy addons in Firefox are not important for the moment.
