Opera for Linux.

Google Chrome for XP/Vista (and if they come out with Chrome for linux that isn't a crossover app, I'll switch to Chrome in linux as well).

I also thought Maxthon 2 was kind of neat for Windows.

I had to say Konqueror for my openSUSE box, because I HATE the way FF3 runs on it. However on my MacBook, I don't have any FF3 problems

Firefox.. the web developer toolbar and Firebug addons are far too valuable to consider another browser.

Ditto. I wish Firefox wasn't so voracious of memory, but I need those features and the URL completion in the location bar saves so much time.

I'm not a developer so I don't have to worry about that aspect of it. I wouldn't trade Google Chrome back for any of those others. If I could use Chrome in Linux I would (the Crossover implementation isn't very good).

I particularly like the omnibox (or whatever they're calling it). Now when I am in Opera or FF, I end up typing my search into the address bar by mistake.

Firefox, with Konqueror for a couple sites that FF (2.x) doesn't render properly. Didn't try Chrome yet, don't feel the need to.

Firefox.
I like speed and some nice features of Konqueror,
but it doesn't support extensions that Firefox offers
(and I just can't use browser without them).

Hmm, actually I do it all the time in Firefox and this feature works nicely.
In addition there are configurable 'keywords' for bookmarks
suitable for searching straight from address bar.
(By the way - Konqueror has this feature too.)

glad I have someone in my camp! I do agree on the Chrome for linux, I used it only briefly on windows and would love to give it a try running natively on linux!
