I have four web browsers (IE8, Chrome, Opera, and FireFox) and I still weigh-in the pros and cons to use just one browser. I don't use Safari, because it's kind of too simple.
I mostly use Internet Explorer (and it's my default browser still) although it's the most sluggish among the four, to me, it has the nicest interface. I like IE's tabs, Google Toolbar integration make it easier to get images or finance quotes, web accelerators, and also somehow my anti virus (Mcafee) would tell me whether a site would likely give me viruses or not. It crash every now and then, but it usually restore the web that crashes quite nicely.
I don't like Firefox one bit. Most people use Firefox because their friends recommend it to them, because it's simply "better" than IE without knowing why it's better. It's a great open source browser where you can add a bunch of stuff into it (although I know a lot of people who don't know about this feature). The bad thing about Firefox is it takes a lot of your computer's memory, slowing you down if you're working on other things.
I love everything about chrome, but one thing: Chrome shares whatever you browse (EVERYTHING) on the internet with Google. Google know all about your likes and dislikes, banking info, facebook stuff, your online purchases, porn fetishes, etc. Sucks how they'd probably use all these data to "exploit" you somehow. Everything else is good. The user interface is very simple, making it browse whatever you wanna browse really quick. It's also an open source program, so you can add a bunch of stuff to enhance your browsing experience.
Opera is pretty much like Chrome in terms of speed (maybe a little faster) and basic interface. It doesn't share any of my browsing history with Google. Sounds great? Yes. However, for some reason it crash/not responding quite a bit for me. Opera is also an open source program, but I couldn't really find any good add-ons/gadgets/apps like the ones I got for my Chrome.
What web browser do you use and why do you like it?
