Google Chrome.
It takes a bit to get used to, but holy crap this is fast. Anyone using Firefox, I strongly suggest upgrading to Google Chrome, and anyone still use IE, I feel sorry for you.

^ Not yet for OS X, but they will come out with it.
But yea, I can't believe how fast this browser is. Plus it's more secure than IE, doesn't have any memory leaks, you don't lose everything when Windows decides to take a crap... The jump in speed from IE to FF was decent, but from FF to Chrome...holy crap, it's like going from 56k to Cable.

It's a very fast browser. I've been using it at work since yesterday.
The tabbing is incredibly beefy, and the ability to turn a webpage into an 'application' is quite cool.
My only issue with it is that at this point, Google knows pretty much everything about their user. It's easy to imagine a world where the googlebots are everywhere scraping data.
Also, has anyone else noticed that SL isn't rendering properly? The red bars of shame/awesomeness aren't showing up anymore and sometimes, everything is sitting a bit off to the left.
I'm planning on compiling Chrome on my Macbook tonight.

I haven't noticed anything about the red, the only thing I've noticed about SL, is when typing a reply, sometimes the text on line 2 doesn't show up until you get halfway thru the line.
Chrome isn't available for OS X yet.

It boggles my mind that about 80% of internet users are still using the slowest browser available.
