Firebug and the various Developer helpers make Firefox the one to use for me.. and I'm glad that they update it regularly, but I fear their updates are starting to suck a little.. I do like opera, but its a different flavor of icecream in some respects.. I may have to use it more just to get used to it.. I do have the opera browser on my phone and have forever.. Works great! I do like the server sent events and I'm pretty sure thats the next big thing we will see in all browsers.. or atleast I hope.. but this is just my point - remember when FF was leading the way?

I've had Firefox sessions up to a week or two, maxing out at around 30 tabs without any trouble. Opera has a lot more users than most people think, and for lots of good reasons. It doesn't really have the extension thing going for it, but you can customize the hell out of pretty the entire existing interface and behavior. Opera made the first cell phone browser to pass ACID2 and have recently implemented some of the new WHATWG stuff for streaming Ajax requests from the server to the browser (http://labs.opera.com/news/2006/09/01/). At this point I use Safari (ATSU experimental support, and the webkit nightly builds have an increasing amount of CSS3 support) and Opera (its tabbed browsing features blow everyone else out of the water, though OmniWeb supposedly has really nice tab features) for most of my non-work browsing. But Firebug and the Web Developer Toolbar don't install in those... Weird – the Mac Firefox doesn’t seem to leak memory like that.
