Fire Fox and Opera for me.

What? No IE option?
:P

I use firefox. Not because it's very good, but simply because it's the less *problematic* (yes, that's an intended euphemism) amongst those that offer the features that I want/need.

It sucks ram like mad, though at least it doesn't leak like it used to do in previous versions. It's relatively stable if you don't use lots of fancy plugins (I've never). My main actual problem with firefox is that it's awfully when rendering some sites, when scrolling (some sites, and yes, smooth is disabled) and it also takes all my cpu when writing an url or search term on this nice url bar that they invented and is good-for-nothing. Sometimes when writing there my it locks for some seconds and then suddenly all the text appears. It performs worse with each release, or maybe it's just me being completely feed up with it. I would gladly drop it in favour of anything else if there was a decent browser on my scope.

I'd use seamonkey if it wasn't for the fact that it's plugin system is very problematic and it has no proper way to restore a session. I also keep an eye on arora, though webkit still has some problems and it can't remember passwords, a must-have for me.

By the way, there are many browsers that are far more used in Linux than some of these that you listed, like epiphany or arora. There are others like kazehakase whose main advantage is that you can switch between gecko and webkit with a config option, flock which is just firefox with a different face or dillo, which was gtk1 based and has migrated recently to fltk. Very light, not so useful (I when I need a light browser I prefer to use elinks or w3m). Midori is also interesting, but not too mature (webkit).

Mostly use firefox but when I need a command line browser i use links and Konqueror on occasion

Firefox on the machines that can run it at a decent speed, Opera on the others. I also often use links (lynx if links isn't available) for text browsing.

I know, but the poll is meant for Slackware users.
I doubt many of them run GNOME browsers like epiphany as GNOME isnt part of Slackware.
And i doubt many of them run the experimental webkit browsers like arora or midori too.
PS. There is also the Other option which is supposed to cover those.
PPS. The reason i made this poll, was mostly to see what people use from what Slackware offers, and added opera cause its fairly popular.

Point taken, sorry to have disrrupted the thread

FF so far is the only decent browser with all the features that I want. It just needs a bit of tweaking.

I use firefox, but I'm not very happy with it. The recent years firefox imo has become bloated. It used to be nice and sleek with great functions. Now it's big and use a lot of ram. I have to restart firefox once in a while to clean up the ram usage. It sometimes crawls up to 1GB, and that's alot! You can close all the tabs, but it wont clean up.

I'm looking forward to chrome arrives. Although it will probably lack some functions, at least in the beginning, I really like the idea of each tab being their own process. The sandbox should also raise the security. Lets just hope they don't walk into the bloat trap like opera and firefox.

Konqueror when I can, Firefox when I have to.
KHTML still doesn't like all the sites out there. Especially CSS positioning. The middle part of pages with left & right menus shifting to the bottom is my biggest anoyance. (LQ doesn't suffer from that, though)

Yeah, that is a problem ... I get that a lot. Is it some type of inability to properly handle CSS ? I know FF doesn't pass the Acid 2 test:

I hate programs that pop up new windows everytime you do something. For that reason I like opera. Everything opens inside a new tab within the main window. This includes new webpages you open, the file download manager, email inbox/index and when you read individual emails. I use opera for both my browsing and my email.

Interestingly, I just realised while writing the above out that I use PCmanFM filemanager which is also makes good use of tabs, so I clearly have a strong preference for this way of working.

You can actually do a lot to improve FF performance and RAM usage, see here:

There's a lot of links and info on this. It will still remain a bit bloated, but out of all the browsers I've tried, it's actually one of the fastest and least bloated, except for maybe FF 2.0.x.

I use opera on any platform
It's much leaner and faster than firefox
and it's not cluttered like most of other browser

Right now I'm using it on slackware 12.2
I also have firefox because I use some its extensions
When I launch firefox it seems to take forever to load
(I launch opera right after I clicked on the firefox icon,
firefox is still loading all its stuff while I'm ready
to surf with opera)
