I'm suprised that with all the polishing that goes on on here, theres no love for Google Chrome yet. Firefox here though.

I use IE8, Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome. Each have their benefits on various sites. Personally I dont find IE8 slower at all, really depends on the make up of the site.

Opera, followed by Chrome, followed by firefox, followed by telnet to port 80, followed by my phone, followed by ie.

IE8 is slow when there is heavy JS and also very slow when there is lots of DOM objects or the page is very big.
The dev tools in Chrome and Firefox are impressive, IE8 is better compared to IE6/7 but still way off.
