What other browsers you use apart from standard ones...

I know most of us will be using IE, firefox and some go with Chrome.

Apart from these standard browser what other browsers attract you and what feature in them is appreciated?

Can we discuss?

Im currently running the K Meleon browser.
It is much faster than IE and FF for me.
It has many options for security, ad blocking, scripting etc.
Also one of its best features in my opinion is the ability to use both favorites and bookmarks, and will save either in the correct place so that if you use one of the other browsers they are there.

Firefox and Opera for me.

I also like Seamonkey, but many site to not appear correctly. I do like Opera and Firefox is great but I think Chrome is faster, but take sometime getting used to the minimal features.

I use Chrome as my default but I've also tried out Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Seamonkey, IE, Opera, Safari, Flock, Avant, Enigma, Maxthon, Konqueror, and Arora.

Of all of those the only one I'd use if I couldn't use Chrome would be Firefox or Flock. I like the Gecko engine and Flock has some really good options when it comes to social media.

The K Meleon listed above uses the gecko engine.
Though I have only seen one time where I had a page load issue it was due to the site not recognizing it. There is an option inside to have the browser report that it is FF and all was good.
