IE8 is out. Internet Explorer 8. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx. It is fantastic.
My main browsers is Mozilla Firefox, primary used for my website xahlee.org development. It is the earliest browser for the so-called Web 2.0. The web 2.0 experience roughly takes shape from i'd say 2005 on. I choose Firefox for web dev primarily due to 2 of its add-ons: Web Developer and HTML Validator.
Since my migration from Mac to PC, my secondary browser has been Google Chrome (was not available for Mac). On the Mac, my secondary browser is Safari and Opera.
Ranking browser quality, i'd say its Firefox and Google Chrome are among top 2. Opera and Safari would be a tie. IE6 or IE7 are last. With IE8, i'd say it's among top 3.
