Which web browser do you use?

Chrome user here  Mainly cause speed is the most important things to me in a browser, and since Firefox became an IE sized leviathan i have no time for it anymore - it's a big clunky mess imo.

Using Firefox at the moment but I usually use Chrome for the same reasons. For some reason Chrome on my system is messing up though.
Fixed! Was a OS X extension screwing it up 
I'm back in Chrome!

I had a problem on the Dev channel, which i assume you are on, when the official extension format went live - all of my old extensions died and chrome started crashing and getting murky - i had to uninstall Dev, install Beta, uninstall Beta and then reinstall Dev :S

Firefox user here. Mainly because I like it and I'm too lazy to research and find anything better.
I hate IE.

Chrome is like Firefox was back in the 1x series, fast, lightweight, responsive and bullshit free.
It takes about 4x as long to load firefox as it does Chrome, tabs open and close much more slowly in firefox, draggin tabs around or out of the window is far, far faster in Chrome, web apps render much faster in Chrome, Gmail for example is probably 1-2x faster in all areas.
Everything is notably slow when you are forced to use another browser after using Chrome.

See, that's what I thought when I switched from IE to FF. It sure seemed faster to me, anyway.
What kids of apps, if any, does Chrome offer?

You mean extensions like the add-ins for firefox?
https://chrome.google.com/extensions
make sure you get the Beta or Developer Chrome for extensions
Other than that, for the last 6 months or so i haven't been able to find anything that wouldn't run except Quake Live, but that is ID's fault not googles.
