I like Konqueror but mainly use FF2 in Gnome linux and a mixture of Opera and FF3 on windows machines.

I use Firefox 3 with NoScript, but admire Opera 9.5, Flock 2 and Konqueror. The things that interest me are W3C standards-compliance and speed (like in Links2). There are some good general sites to introduce users to other browsers. BrowseHappy and FavBrowser.

K-Ninja without a shadow of a doubt, followed by Netscape, K-Meleon, Konqueror and Internet Explorer.

I hate Firefox, and Flock.

after having a bit of a play around on my laptop I've gotten to rather like Opera 9.5 and I'll probably use it more often than Firefox, otherwise it's IE.

I have used firefox since version 0.9 now using FF3. very fast and no problems. I also like Opera 9.5
I'm trying out flock at the minute and quite like that as well.
I also use ie 6 & 7 plus safari among others for site testing.

Overall I've found that ff3 and opera suit the way I surf best.
With FF3 I use downthemall, Downloadhelper and fireftp addons and usually have the tor button as well but that isn't in ff3 yet

Best advice for anyone looking for a new browser is to try out a few and pick the one that works best for you.

Firefox 3.0, with 'Ask Me Everytime' then unchecked 'accept third party cookies' so that it asks me in building up its library of OK sites. After that learning process it's very fast.
Mind you, I prefer the Ubuntu version, with useful 'Print to PDF' capabilty.
