I was amazed to find that Internet Explorer still seems to have the highest market share in web browsers.

So, I'm curious, what is YOUR current web browser?

The other thing that astonishes me is that websites still seem to make websites that fit into a 640x480 window... is that *really* necessary anymore? To me that's as silly as making a website in Flash...

That's probably because the latest versions of IE are highly rated. As long as old versions continue to decrease in market share, I'm happy.

I use Firefox.
 
I use Firefox. I'm also a web developer, I agree it would be much better if we could design sites to fit into 1280x1024 and higher. Unforunately you get lower resolutions on laptops and PDAs, iPhone etc. - which use full-fledged browsers on sub-optimal hardware.

It's possible to make fluid layouts that adjust based on the size of the screen - but that gives up some control, which often isn't acceptable in a business situation. That's why widths end up limited. It's not the choice of the web designer, it's down to the popularity of junk mobile devices.
 
Firefox with a couple of security extensions - Found too many potential exploits, etc. with Internet Explorer and even Opera and Chrome to feel comfortable using them. I quite like where they are going with Chrome but it needs a lot of maturity/security fixes yet and Opera just feels like a cluster **** of good ideas that don't exactly work so well when you stick them all together indiscriminately.

There is nothing wrong with creating a second or third style sheet just for mobile devices. I find it works perfectly well.

Its the choice of the web designer to think of the best possible solution to the problem in hand.

In regards to the question I use Chrome for general and Safari for designing.
