Firefox, because I'm used to it and the plugins and... I just never really gelled with Chrome.
It's had performance issues in the past, but whenever FF is getting really shit it somehow manages to pull its socks up and sort itself out, rarely leaving itself in the dust.
I'm particularly used to the Dev tools too, I guess. Also - 3dassplode view is actually useful sometimes - not sure if other browsers have intriduced that feature yet?

I've used Chrome for the past couple years but really miss FireFox. The Bookmark Sidebar in Firefox was a must have if you have a lot of bookmarks like me and like to be organized, makes it manageable. Chrome doesn't have this at all (no extensions either, or any half-decent ones for that matter). Chrome has the Bookmark Manager which opens in a separate window, but that's useless for when you want to bookmark something quickly and organize it, or if you want to scroll through bookmarks and have them open in the same window.
Personally, I don't see what's so great in Chrome. I don't notice it being any faster. I've been liking Safari. Like how it works nicely with the other iDevices I have, plus I can't really find anything wrong with it. I'll prolly eventually go Safari or FF sometime soon.

Chrome: Because you can middle click anywhere in a tab to close it.
Safari has this kick ass feature too but it's too slow.

FF for two months now after two or three years with Chrome.
Very happy so far.
Opera as alternative when necessary.

Chrome, but wish you could simply drag tabs into the bookmarks bar to add them as a bookmark (like firefox does). its so user intuitive and simple.
also wish chrome had a bookmarks sidebar.

Safari, got sick of having to hit refresh on chrome every time i wanted a webpage to load. and it's cleaner than firefox.

Safari 6.1 beta.
Bookmark syncing with iOS Safari, iCloud tabs, more up to date web inspector (that can also be used with iOS Simulator or a connected device), and Chrome has never been all that fast for me.

Safari 6.1 is almost as good as IE6

chrome crashes too often for me.
i use safari mainly for it's simplicity and speed. firefox for extensions and private (porn) browsing.

I used safari since it came out, in my personal opinion it was way ahead of firefox (on mac), however in the last few versions it's started to lag, and I decided to try chrome. Now my preference goes like this.
