I've been growing somewhat dissatisfied with Firefox of late. It seems slow and, at times, unstable. So I've been playing around with IE and Chrome. I had totally forgotten about Safari. I've got to say IE and Chrome seem VERY good. I think I'll probably switch away from FF, not sure which I'll use though.
I personally lean towards Chrome, as I am starting to do a lot with my Droid phone, and all the Google integration seems smoother with Chrome, but some banking sites just don't seem to like anything but Internet Explorer.
I may wind up Bi-Browseral.

I've also been fed up with Firefox. I've used it since it was Phoenix and Firebird. Anymore, it seems too bloated and sluggish.
I also dislike the rushed release schedule. Every release doesn't have to be a major release. They're up to what, 14, when a year ago they were at what, 4? Major releases are supposed to have major changes, and I've really not seen anything in the past year worthy of that.
They have done too many "me too" type things, and they need to just get back and work on performance. Phoenix/Firebird was started because Mozilla was too bloated, because it had everything (including the kitchen sink) attached. They decided to take the core, slim it down, and just be a good fast browser. They've lost their way, and I hope they find their way back. Till then, I'll use Chrome.
