I would say FF4 beta7 is doing fine in my lappy, speed, features and the looks are all very acceptable. IE9 developers cannot go on saying their product is still a beta and final release will be a beauty,I'm slightly disappointed with IE9, to say the least.
Google Chromes lack of a bookmarks sidebar is a major deal breaker for me. I can't stand not having a bookmarks sidebar. I love using FF so I'd use either of the big 3 IE8/9(beta), FireFox, or Chrome. Opera is too cluttered to me.

Since that, I've used Lunascape almost exclusively. It's my browser. And the only browser I have ever used which has never crashed.

The thing about Chrome beta is that it is genuinely only a few weeks away from release. It is more like a release candidate, generally only a few fixes for minor problems are issued before the beta and stable channels merge. IE9 beta on the other hand is extremely buggy. I did try it and it looked quite nice but there were too many bugs. Its installation also caused my c: drive to be marked dirty.
OK I downloaded and installed firefox. Up to now I am impressed, especially with the memory use which is about a quarter of what IE was using. Also firefox only has one process running for ALL open tabs whereas IE had a seperate process running for each tab.
One problem though if anyone knows how to fix it. I use a lot of forums and am constantly using the back button to switch between threads and forums. IE used to refresh the page when the back button was pressed so that I could instantly see new posts and threads. However firefox does not do this and I am having to manually refresh the page each time.
Is there a setting to fix this please. (still finding my way around the program.)
Downloaded that just now. First impressions were good, albeit with a few niggles in the interface which made looking for some options a bit of a search. Then I pressed ctrl+F to find some text. Ouch. It's so... primitive. No count of how many matches found and the ability to navigate forward/back to the next result. I go through a lot of sites with text, so this is a deal-breaker. Kind of a shame, looks like a nice browser otherwise (and I keep getting mental images of needing a bow and an axe, for some inexplicable reason).
Trucidation, I can understand your point. Lunascape is still young, early stages of development. For me it's the right browser, I like (and use it a lot!) the possibility to switch rendering engine on the fly.
