Chrome for me although it doesn't work for everything and in those cases I briefly switch to FF.
Man of Honour
IE9, fast and sleek.

Firefox and SwIron is what I'm using at the moment.
I'm a Firefox fan, although I do like Chrome for the way it makes use of the whole screen but FF4 mimics this so I'm just waiting for that to be released properly next week.
The main thing I don't like with Chrome is that the back button is so small, prefer the bigger one in Firefox.

My list would be identical except I haven't tried IE9 yet, given I would pick the same order for everything else probably worth me trying it!

I use IE7 at work because I'm forced to. It's horribly slow and I hate it.
At home I mostly use Chrome for everyday browsing and firefox for oGame.
If Chrome did everything I needed, I'd use Chrome only as it is the faster browser by a mile.
I'll try just about every new browser, IE9, Firefox 4 beta when I get the chance, Opera. But as many have said it's a preference thing mostly, so I always go back to Chrome. Maybe FF4 will change that.

This is identical to me. Love Opera but use Chrome as a secondary browser or for when something doesn't work in Opera.
I also install LastPass and XMarks in each browser as well.

I'd run Chrome for speed if I could live without my FF extensions 
I use Opera with my Win7 x64,no flash issues and excellent stability,speed etc....

Personal opinions, they are all brilliant. All with Pro's, Cons. They all render pages some better than others. Once IE9 is RTM I will be on it. Always IE user but not afraid to dabble.
Firefox.
Chrome has tabs on top. I can't stand that. Unfortunately the current build of minefield also has this, but they can be moved. It doesn't stop bte browser looking hilariously ugly though. Unless we get a classic style skin I really don't know what browser I am going to use

Firefox 4 for me, as it goes full screen on/off from mouse control, like IE.
How do you turn off Cleartype is IE9 as you do in IE8?

I've always been a firefox fan - seemed to get slower as it aged though (as in aged through versions) - found chrome faster but I still preferred firefox
been trying Firefox 4 beta last week and wow- I'm very impressed -its super speedy
none of the browsers should exactly feel slow - even on my aging system (Q6600 @ 3.5 + 20mb broadband) - but Firefox 4 does feel a lot snappier - don't know why or how - ok it has GPU
acceleration, but its not like an OC'd quad core is maxxed out in a browser without it

I'm loving the new IE RC, however the favorites bar is HIDEOUS but have learnt to live without it
Opera.
Much better with overall compatibility these days also. Anything which 'breaks' is generally something coded (sloppily) with IE in mind only. Cannot remember the last time I had to open another browser for something which Opera (then) could not deal with.
My only ONE gripe with Opera is at times it sucks memory like hell.
I love it's feature set, gestures, customisation, Opera Link, Turbo (when on laptop on crappy internet) etc etc
Just works.
