I've always used Firefox, and I tell friends to use it.

Mostly because Firefox has killer features like keyword bookmarks and search keywords, and once you've set up a few it's really hard to live without them. (Even if you could recreate them all in another browser.) Plus: it's not owned by Google. It's from the open source community. It traces its lineage back to Netscape.

Someone on HN once suggested using multiple browsers - so for sites you log into, there's one dedicated browser, but general web surfing happens in a separate browser (which makes it harder to track).
