My favorite is Firefox due to it's good security and it's open source. I don't use any add ons. I do sometimes use Google Chrome but most of the time Firefox. What is your favorite web browser? :p

My favourite web browser (for 2011) is Google Chrome.

I can't live without ABP for Chrome (beta) and WOT. :lol:

LastPass is a must for me.
AddBlock Plus comes second (The Internet is scary with all the ads)
Xmarks Bookmarks Syncronizer
Greasemonkey, HTTPS-Everywhere, TreeStyle Tab, Wot, Firebug...etc. I don't rate WOT too high because I keep visiting the same sites.

Properly written extensions should not take up to much RAM. Also browsers ram usage increased once the content on web-pages improved. Years ago you would only have a html, now you have pictures, flash animations/movies etc. All this needs to be cached in ram so you it can be accessed as fast as possible. IMO RAM usage is not an issue as long as the browser is secure and fast. Flash does eat some CPU though.

My choice now and for probably well over 5+ years at the least would be Opera. Addons or extensions, although I loved Opera without any and enjoy adding externally launched programs from within the Opera interface if I had to choose an actual extension it would probably be the one I use which pops a preview of a picture up when moused over so that I can preview it without the need to click it. I used some customized userjavascripts before but now some of them can be replaced with extensions. Actual it would be two that deal with images that are just so handy...

Image Preview Popup
https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/image-preview-popup/2.6.5/

Image Sizer
https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/image-sizer/1.0.4/?display=en

Of course Opera and its features to me at least makes it the absolute best browser, plus they add many features and other browsers seem to take note and follow suit.

Do not interrupt a few I use Firefox because of security and a large selection of plugins for it. At this moment I am using eight plug-ins which include:

I now have 4 browsers at my fingertips and I am happy with them all. I recently downloaded Comodo Dragon. It is lean and mean like Google Chrome, which I have as well. I also have Firefox, which I use almost as much as GC. I utilize Opera, sometimes. I am pleased with all 4.

I NEVER use IE. I cannot even reinstall it on my PC. I guess I wiped it off too well. Even if IE becomes the best browser ever, someone will still have to hold a gun to my head for me to even try it.

If I had to choose, I will say that Chrome is my favorite, but I trust Mozilla more since I am secure from key loggers since I am able to utilize Keyscrambler with it.

It is wonderful that we have so many quality browsers to choose from these days.
