Mostly Firefox. (addicted to AdBlock Plus & Direct Link extensions)
Occasionally Opera and Safari.
On Windows, I stopped using IE when websites were able to install software without user intervention, so it was the Mozilla suite for me. I was quite happy when the Phoenix project (later Firebird, now Firefox) was started because I didn't care for all the bloat of the entire Mozilla package.
Around the Firebird days was when I was recommending friends and family to switch---basically to make my life easier. They would screw up their computer with comet cursor, bonzai buddy and all kind of themes and toolbars for IE that it tool ages to fix up. Since it was MY job to get their computer's running faster the least they could do is switch browsers...
I'm glad IE 7 has improved a lot, and I hear good things about IE 8, but I will not support it until webmasters stop building their sites with only IE users in mind. Standards exist for a reason.
