Opera. Every version is impressive, but the new 9.52 is
Firefox plugins are nice, but Opera already has the equivalent of 150+ of them built-in, has voice if you care, etc. I generally have both Opera and Firefox open at the same time for different things, and even with a bunch of plugins Firefox just seems... lacking. I have yet to see a CPU/memory test comparing Opera with a 150+ extensioned Firefox. FF always only gets tested with like 10 or 15.
Google Chrome is ok for being new and having very basic functionality. I blocked the updater since it kept connecting to the internet every five minutes and trying to do who knows what.
While reading some Chrome reviews, this caught my eye and sums things up pretty well about so few people using Opera:
"As a long time user of Opera, it is annoying that after all these years Opera still has been unable to get marketshare. Opera has virtually been a think-tank reference browser bringing 9/10th’s of the last 12 years of useful features to market, and the rest of the world waits for other browsers to poorly implement them."
And of course we can't have a browser thread without this picture:
