Stuck on a craptop right now with Win2000 and Firefox 2, but I normally use Chrome on Linux.

In terms of speed:
IE (any) < Firefox < Safari / Opera < Chrome
It's a shame because Firefox at one point was faster than Opera and Safari, but the Gecko engine just got more and more bloated. WebKit is unbelievably fast, and the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine is too. Put them together and you get a crazy fast browser...

Firefox user here, and no speed issues at all. I tried the early versions of Chrome and didn't like it. There is no reason for me to switch so I don't.

I use Opera. Probably just because I'm used to it and like the way it works. Even though 1 out of 50 web sites seem to hate it and I have to resort to one of the others. Veoh and Skyplayer spring to mind. Oh, and facebook is a bit touch and go.

Switched to Chrome initially for quite a while - like the layout and speed - but back to FF for a while now. It's been more stable. Opera/ Safari just don't do everything.

By stable what do you mean? I've never had many crashes with Chrome (even with the dev version), and in any case, if one tab crashes, none of the others do. That's a feature Firefox (or any other browser) simply doesn't have yet.
