I prefer Opera, faster and equally useful than firefox, though not as customizable.

Firefox is the Scion by Toyota, fully customizable.
Opera is ?undefined? I think this would be categorized as the Ferrari?
IE is the most used, its the family sedan.

Firefox 3 beta 5, runs like a charm. And is blazing fast at rendering pages. Memory consumption is WAY down. Opera is going dooown

@mansex, the addons.

Just as the scion has the same defaults any other car has. Its the add ons that make it customizable, every FF browser is different.

oh...like i said i only have adblock so my browser is pretty generic

I'm downloading and test driving Safari now.
Will let ya know (but it does look GOOD)

~Gpa

EDIT: First impression (after subscribing to del.icio.us for bookmark exports from IE7 and Firefox): It is about +¼ again faster than mozillia for HTML and significantly faster (Blazing!) with JavaScripting. It's gonna be my browser of choice, I can tell.

Update on Safari Beta 3 browser:
With only one exception this is my new browser of choice - it beats Firefox and IE hands down.

The exception? Too many windows system resources are consumed so if I'm watching a hulu movie in the background -AND- there is a anti-virus update (download) going on -AND- I try to look at SRO Forums here it will lag terribly on the embedded YouTube vids (but not simple text or pics) even if I don't click to play.

Both Firefox and IE handle that situation without ~6 seconds of freeze on the embeds.
The simple 'solution': Apple Safari for Windows 100% except when my comp is doing too much.
For instance, in similar situation I can open an instance of Firefox and browse the SRO forums np.

After a day of 'test-driving' I'd give it 1 and ⅞ thumbs up.

~Grandpa

[EDIT]: Seems the 'freeze' isn't directly related to system resources as I first theorized. It is a beta release and it looks like it doesn't perform error-trapping as well as it could.

Yeah, I've been a Mozilla fan since the Netscape vs. IE wars (back before Win95).
Apple / Mac product is better (for the time being) is all. Pretty sure it's open source too.
