With Firefox I add two important plugins; NoScript and AdBlock Plus.

Vista on new laptop (will get Win7 on there)... XP on old computer.

Google Chrome for simple things and whatnot.
Maxthon Browser for more heavy usage like flash stuff and whatever.

Jesus where do i start?

OS X machine with Chromium, FireFox, but I don't use Safari. Windows 7 machine with Chrome. A Netbook dual booting Win 7 using IE and OS X using Chromium. and my work laptop using Firefox, Chrome, and IE 6 (damn work).

Thank god for Google Bookmarks. Now if only they had a plugin for Chrome. Then harmony would exist in my world.

Main Machines:

Desktop XP and IE 8 (although, I use all the other browsers from time to time). Moving this to Win 7 soon as I build my new computer. :-)

Laptop: Windows 7 64 Ultimate (Thank Microsoft for bitlocker!!! Have to use a usb to boot, but better than what I had before... so smooth now.

Other:

Mac Mini - The useful idiot... keeps saying I'm going to ebay it... it was the first product I stood in line for... one of the first Mac Minis.. lol... aww.. an attachment.

Server: Windows 7 64 Ultimate. Was using windows home server but I was managing it more than I should. Switched over to Win 7... locked it down... great "server" for home use (hooked up to TV to play movies... backup location for my other computers).

And some other crappy machines... lol

It's really a powerpacked browser, not for light usage... so I use it for heavy websites and whatnot, if that makes sense.

Plus, I don't always like using what everyone else uses. I never got used to Mozilla, but it is a very nice product.

My Gateway laptop runs Vista Home Premium. The browser: either Firefox or Seamonkey.

The wife's is a HP laptop running Vista 64 Home Premium. The browser: Firefox.

I have no idea or any interest in the 2 Apple laptops.

The home network thing runs Ubuntu.

As an online director I have to make sure my pages are visible in all browsers on all OSs, but on my MacBook Pro I primarily use Firefox.
