    On Windows, Firefox. Occasionally Opera, which is also a really good browser.
    On Linux, usually Konqueror. Sometimes Firefox, but only on the rare occasion I find a page that doesn't work with Konqueror.

    firefox on windows for me, for safety, proper colour rendering of png files, all of the extensions and just a generally more pleasant browsing experience.

    btw just some stats from vBulletin stats page about the users of this site.

    The top 5 browsers of 29 identified
    Internet Explorer 6.0 - 65.7 %
    Firefox - 26.1 %
    Internet Explorer 5.5 oder älter - 2.76 %
    Safari - 1.58 %
    Gecko - 1.36 %


    the norm is 6% firefox and 90% i.e. so dcemu visitors using firefox is far higher than the norm
    Doesnt really say too much about Opera Since it can identify as other browsers. I have it set to identify as MSIE 6.0 for compatability.

    Opera is at 0.53 %, but as u said thats not 100% true.... still the i.e. vs firefox stat is interesting

    i got a plugin for firefox so i don't get "you can not view this page, download I.E."
