Find the turbo-charger flockheads, and deliver a responsive version that won't leave me waiting to see what I typed. I'll use it.
I'd be happy to help troubleshoot your slowness issues - when working properly, Flock should be just about as fast as Firefox. We might be able to hunt down the issue on your machine and speed you up.
Drop me a line!

For browsing, Safari for its speed and slickness
Chrome just needs to be able to work with some plugins and BYE BYE firefox!
Firefox is slow. I dont allow myself to add more than 5 add-ons cuz of that.
The one and only king browser of my heart
I can sacrifice speed and memory any day, I have lots of bandwidth and a fast processor, but I simply cannot give up on the functionality!
Oh the extensions!!!
Chrome > Firefox > Opera > Safari > IE
Safari 3 used to crash sometimes, but 4 is much more stable. :)
Although, I'm going to download Firefox to utilize some extensions.
Safari on the Mac. No other Mac browser has a decent interface.
Oh, and I love the WebKit engine for all its prettyness and standards support.
This is the browser I'd design if I had time and inclination to design a browser starting from scratch now.
Wish they'd get off it and deliver to Mac users.
next, Firefox.
My primary browser has been Avant (www.avantbrowser.com - a shell for IE) for the past several years. For YEARS it has had features that other browsers are only now adding (and some STILL don't have).
If only it were multi-threaded, it would be the ultimate browser... it's what IE 8 (or 7 for that matter) SHOULD have been...
Actually, it's Firefox for me. The above is a quote from a (supposed) IT guy at work.
Chrome - second. Good in general (+ and improving).
Tried Safari: good.
Faster & Easier to develop with.
Firefox has deteriorated to the all time worst browser since the last version was released. I am so disappointed with it and would stop using it, if Opera would work more on their developer tool "Dragonfly" for editing the CSS of a website.

To get the sexyness of Safari using Firefox, I installed the GrApple Tangy theme from Aronnax at
http://www.takebacktheweb.org/
Special mention to Opera 10 for being a great browser that more people should try.
It's power is in its addons..
In my windows machin (which i uses very rarely)i'm using CHROME 4 as my default browser and rarely uses FF 3.5....FF in windows is ok compared to linux version(FF in windows is actually FASTER than FF in linux)
Strange but it lacks slowness of Firefox 3.5 and has all needed extensions if you hack the version check.

with 100/100 score!
Close second: Webkit Nightly.
#2 - IE8. Non-PC (pun intended) I know, but it's w-a-y more stable than Firefox - I don't care how many gizmos it's got.
We'll see how the browser wars kick it up a notch with User Scripts and Extensions in Google Chrome now, won't we?
