Which Browser?

There has been a significant amount of discussion in this class about the relative merits of different browsers, particularly firefox, safari, and chrome. In previous classes I had always used firefox, and really love some of the extensions and add-ons, but had grown tired of the update process and relative slow start up I was experiencing. When Chrome entered the scene I tried it out and quickly found myself using it often on my PC at school. I like the speed, and the minimal interface, and at school the add-ons and extensions were not as much of an issue. There is no question that firefox has the best and most extensive library of extensions and add-ons. But I continue to be drawn to chrome, and each time I am I hit a snag, particularly on the mac, relating to lacking an extension. I know they are coming, but they are not here yet. Anyway, here is article from Farhad Manjoo extolling the relative virtues of the browsers currently in play. I loved this statement: "I think Chrome is perfect for high-volume consumers of the Web—idiots like me who keep several browser windows open concurrently, each populated with dozens of tabs, and don't restart the browser for days and days on end. More casual Web users may find its unusual interface—and its lack of support for third-party interface add-ons like the Yahoo Toolbar—hard to get used to." I sometimes fall in to that class of idiots.
Any thoughts from classmates? Which browser are you using and why? Which one works best with the most useful web 2.0 apps?
