Sorry for the lack of posts lately… just never seem to get around to it. I posted a new poll in the sidebar. My pick was Google Chrome. Aside from being very stable, it is lightning fast. Really like it. Not a ton of features but more are starting to arrive, such as extentions and themes (w/ version 3). I use version 4 beta. Rounded corners are much better in this version. In a lot of ways, it is like Safari. The user interface is much like Safari, and it’s developer tools are much like Safari’s.
Mozilla Firefox would definitely be my second choice. It is a little slow on older machines, but on my laptop it runs just about as fast as Chrome. Aside from having tons of great themes, the plugins for this browser are just amazing. My favorite would be FireBug. I use this plugin every time I am styling a site and just love it. Another great web development plugin is the Web Developer Toolbar.
I personally have not used Opera much, but it seems to be nice. It has lots of the Web Developer Toolbar functions built in and seems fast enough.
And finally…. to Internet Explorer. Slow… hard to work w/… and the most widely used browser on the planet. UGGG!! I really hate IE. Version 6 – the version that ships on all XP systems is horrible to try to work w/ as a web developer. Version 7 – the version that ships w/ Vista, is better, but still a pain. IE 8 is the best and my stuff usually works in it. I was reading an article on development of IE 9 and I’m anxiously awaiting that. It seems like it will have lots of CSS 3 support. YEAH!!!
Anyway that’s just my $0.02 on all of this. Thoughts?

I remember the days when a browser was a lady who was just looking, not buying.
