I think it was discussed before but I won't use Chrome, its EULA is a bit disturbing.
With all the plugins availble for firefox Chrome just doesn't have the power that firefox does.

I use the ftp and image addons almost daily

^^ Opera and Chrome are both very good browsers, but where Firefox wins hands down is the addons / extensions. No other browser comes close to the expandability that Firefox offers.

I used it right up until last month. My IE7 started crashing 50x per day and I FINALLY made the switch. Don't think I will be going back.

Same, IE8 seems to have solved this for me. :D

what's wrong with opera? it's stable and fast

firefox is more of an 'experience' with all the useful plugins, but it's not snappy at all; still zipper than IE tho haha

IE7 crashes on me about once every 24 hours... really odd, but thats usually when I have 15+ tabs or windows open at a time.

I love it that with Vista you can instantly close the none responding program, unlike XP which hanged and got all bent out of shape.

I am THIS close to trying out firefox though, I find it retarded that some sites take for ever to load for no reason.

There is only one web site I have ever had trouble with when using firefox (and that guy's code was pretty messed up) and in general it is faster than IE and with the plugins way more feature rich. The only thing that bugs me is that you cannot zoom the pages the same way.

You mean full page zoom? Make sure Zoom text only is unchecked under View -> Zoom
