I'm using a registered version of Opera (Yes, I payed money for a browser. Need I remind you of where I work?). I'm more than happy with it, although I tend to use Mozilla when watching java-heavy sites.
Be reminded that I'm quite happy as it is. I really don't want anything like fancy features <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Personally, I use Firefox, along with <a href='http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/' target='_blank'>the Web Developer Toolbar</a>. I also changed a few settings to reduce the rending speed, which brings is in faster than IE.

Mozilla Firefox. I love having no popups. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I don't see how someone can dislike tabbed browsing... Instead of having the "tabs" in your taskbar, you have them in the browser. It's weird at first, but it comes to the same, except it unclutters your taskbar by seperating your web pages from the other programs.
Oh, and no-one forces you to use it, just open in new browser window rather than in new tab

As far as the web standards, I was complaining that ALL OF THEM SUCK. None of them implement all of the W3 standards CORRECTLY, they all wanna do this or that and interpret the standards the way they think they should have been written.
Oh and thanks for the link to that Web Development Toolbar link Fam, I'll definately use this at work. I got a similar doohickey for IE that does all sorts of neat stuff, but this would help compliment that. :D
You guys have got me intrigued though, so I'll DL firefox and give it a try and see if I fall in love with it the way you guys have.
