    Windows and Chrome. Chrome because of speed, and Windows because iOS irritates me, and I'm not a patient enough soul for Linux. And because I occasionally do game on my pc.

    Windows and Chrome, only because I've never bothered to use any other for a long period of time.

    Archlinux because it's a good development platform. Chrome because of its simple interface.

    Linux/Firefox. That is as of today. I've used Linux (varying distros) pretty much exclusively for years. But web browsers have varied depending on needs and moods of the moment...

    I use Windows 8. It's terrible, I know but I don't really seem to mind it since I have a touchscreen laptop so it's easier for me to do things.

    Also Chrome because it's much faster and lighter. I think everyone pretty much hates IE.

    Windows 7 and Chrome on the laptop. I did use Linux for a year in HS. It was a phase, but the terminal commands got to me. I absolutely cannot stand Apple products. They're pretty to look at and work fine when everything's dandy, but have an issue and you're fucked.

    Chrome is the best browser I've used to date. I've used IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. Chrome is the fastest and most stable of them all.

    Safari on both iOS and Mac. When I want to watch US/UK Netflix, I switch to Chrome.
    Safari makes most sense because it's the most energy-efficient. It's as fast as Chrome and its ties to iCloud make it easy to share bookmarks, saved passwords and auto-fill forms and open tabs with my iPhone. Sure, I could probably do the same with Chrome, but it'd be outside of Apple's ecosystem. I like my walled garden, thank you.

    Mac OSX + Chrome.

    Mac because Windows is shit. I do a lot of work with Adobe software and it runs smoother on Mac, I love the way the Mac-interface looks and works. I'm not a gamer so I don't miss out on games being Windows-only.
    Chrome seems to be the most stable browser I've used and it's so easy to use as well.

    I have never really tried Chrome, I should someday.

    I use Windows mostly because of work and the games I like to play.

    Windows/Android and Firefox/Chrome. I use Opera mini on mobile, but that's only because it's much faster and more lightweight than Firefox or Chrome.

    Windows because it has the most mainstream support
    Chrome because it came pre-installed and i wasn't going to use the horrible thing that is Internet explorer
