Chrome
Fast and clean. Used to use FF before and use IE7 occasionally
Wish that Chrome had extensions though as I really miss gestures (was an Opera man before FF!). I hear they're coming though!

Can't say I've experienced this personally & Chrome works perfectly fine on my Windows 7 build mind you it is the 32bit though.
That, and chrome every so often, although I have IE, FF Chrome, Opera, and Safari installed.
Firefox is my everyday browser: fast enough, good compatibility, standards compliant, huge range of extensions, smart location bar.
Chrome is in many ways really impressive: I like the simple interface and the super-fast rendering. When it matures a bit more and gains a proper add-on system, I expect it to be a serious rival to Firefox.
Safari 4 beta has some interesting stuff going on: I'm a sucker for the flashy features such as cover flow, and it's also really fast.
Opera is a good shout if you want a browser that loads quickly and has a good feature set out of the box. If I had to use one browser without extensions then Opera would be it.
IE is a turd. Unreliable, slow as molasses, terrible standards compliance, few extensions available. The only thing in its favour is that it is very secure under Vista.

FF all the way with the add ons, especially NoScript, Adblock Plus & Urlbarext.
Take in a Flash Drive with FireFox on then?

^ Exactly the same. Opera rocks.
Id Have to say Firefox, I dont like the look of IE8 or Chrome purely because there too clean, i find it longer and harder to navigate their menu setup. To me firefox has it perfect, plus the addons are brilliant just add what you need simple and effective.
