Chrome, although Midori was a nice surprise and I did use it initially.

I use Firefox 5.0. I'm a longtime Firefox fan (since 1.5) and it just does everything I need it to and is fast (enough), compatible and extensible.

FIREFOX 5 I always update the browser to the latest just seems to get better and better

I have others loaded but don't tend to both with them except for checking stuff.

IF any of the Bodhi site pages look wrong in your browser then its more than likely that I checked it in Firefox and it looked as awesome as I could get it. As Jeff said it renders the best.

I can see the benefits of konqueror and used it when I was on KDE, but as you say to many issues with it for me to use full time. 1 think I still love about it is the auto audio converting thing, place in a Cd and then see the folders appear for copy to HDD the format you want!

I find I prefer Firefox 4+... chiefly for plugin support, but also because it allows permanent private browsing mode. Coupled with a keyring, it doesn't really interfere with my ability to browse forums/facebook/etc (just have to login every time, but my user/pass is stored), but it also deletes the cookies/history every time. Flash is set not to allow cookies to be stored, either.

The anonymity I could live without, and it wouldn't be the end of the world. What I couldn't live without, however, is the plugins. Three plugins in particular, one of which (which is the real game changer) I just couldn't find for Chromium, let alone other browsers.

AdBlock Plus (easy enough to find for other platforms)
Open Bookmark in New Tab (relatively easy to find)
Vertical Tabs (have not found for any other browser)

The vertical tabs addon uses the sidebar for tabs, rather than grouping them across the top. I find it's a much more efficient use of space, especially on a widescreen display, but it also allows you to have far more tabs open while still keeping the display of them manageable.

I'll stick with FF because of the permanent private browsing mode, but if I could find that addon for other browsers, I'd be much happier. :) (not holding my breath though... the only other browser I use with any regularity is internet exploder 6, which I'm required to use at work due to some seriously short-sighted and naive network managers in the company 10 years before I started)

Yes, there are some plug-ins not seen in chrome or chromium, for me, I have to use vimperator or pentadactyl , I can not find the equivalent plugins in other web browsers. Addons ,to firefox browser, is so native and so characteristic!

SeaMonkey using a tarball directly from the web site installed in my home directory. I like the integrated suite approach. I use Midori occasionally, but the version of WebKit included in Bodhi Linux 1.x fails on some online games such as Facebook's Family Feud, and also fails to process some XML pages such as the roll call votes of the U.S. House of Representatives at clerk.house.gov . The two bugs mentioned have been fixed in a more recent version of WebKit which will be available for the Midori browser in Bodhi Linux 2.0.

Simply, I don't believe that chrome is most used.

I tend to use Chromium as it does better with my company's IE-riddled features.

I do like Midori - but it can be problematic occasionally, so we also install Firefox for heavy lifting. It's currently version.... 11! :o
OMG, how time flies!

I like Opera and his SpeedDial option.

I also use occasionaly Midori.

Firefox was my favorite browser for long time, but I found it more and more heavier.
