What browser?
Well I'm on my way to find out - and so far the choice is between Konqueror and Firefox. On WinXP the choice is Firefox, and it works great there. On Linux (Kubuntu) I find a lot of html reading bugs in Firefox, some get's fixed - but I'm rather surprised over that Firefox is not up to W3 standard on Linux.
Here Konqueror is far superior, but there are some plugins in Firefox that I got addicted to (as sessionsaver).
So on one side I hope Firefox get it's html reading bugs fixed - and on the other side I hope Konqueror could use more of mozilla/firefox plugins - LOL
I am using Konqueror because it's fast, but often its behavior isnt stable.
Sometimes launched as web browser it has toolbar icons of the filemanager profile and sometimes launched as filemanager it has toolbar icons of the webbrowsing profile.
It's annoying because restarting it doesnt resolve the problem and I have to log out. I am trying to customize the toolbars and their complexity makes me sick...
I was using Firefox before and maybe I' ll turn back to it. I am really searching a good browser at this moment, that is fast and with many features...
@awakatanka: the future might be looking a bit brighter for Konqueror, at least where KHTML and KJS are concerned. Work is now being done to somehow bridge the gap between KHTML and WebKit, Apple's fork of KHTML.
I'm excited by this, and hope they can release results or even a beta real soon. Konqueror is my favorite browser, and I can't wait for it to get as good as the Fox in rendering pages.

I realy like konqueror now after a adapt periode, i only use another browser if it renders wrong. And the future looks very good, They doing some good work at KDE.
Firefox mainly, konqueror for 'non trusted' stuff (more and more unfortunately, block all cookies, I said ALL, plus the kmplayer plugin is sweet), and mozilla for flash (32bit, can't run both FF at the same time)
I'm a die-hard Flock-ster it seems. I tried going back to the Firefox I used to love, but I couldn't. I just can't leave behind the del.icio.us integration that Flock uses for it's bookmarks. I share my bookmarks between work and home seamlessly. And yes, I did try the del.icio.us extensions for Firefox, and it just isn't the same. It's really the only killer feature for me. I don't much/ever use the other stuff like built-in blogging/Flickr ... and while the shelf (or Snippets as they call 'em now) is cool, and I use it now and then, it's not a must-have for me either.
Might try the FF2 beta one of these days just to see what's different.
I use Firefox.
The plug-ins are great.
Also it allows me to use the same browser at work (on Windows) and the same plug-ins.
Plus, it's easy to sync my Bookmarks between work and home.
Plus, Firefox + NOIA theme is the best eye-candy browser in my opinion.

I'm rather surprised over that Firefox is not up to W3 standard on Linux.
It's not up to w3/acid2 standards. period. only Opera 9 and alpha Safari builds are AFAIK
I admire the konqy devs because it seems they're trying hard to support all the newest things like CSS3 and I read somewhere making it ACID 2 compliant
<br /><br />*temp. hiatus from forums due to comp + net broken* :'(
opera 9 seems to be complaint (though I found some bugs)
Still Opera is THE browser for me, especially now that it's free. (very good on the device side too)
I tried netscape, but it was a memory hog. I tried Firefox (people say it has leaks too but apart from a reeeealy slow start it's ok). The only thing that bothers me, and bothers me bad is how can you call a browser multi tabbed when a click on a link with target="_blank" will open a new window and not a new tab? Try it. What's the point of migrating from IE when FF does stuff like this? Can someone explain this to me?
