microB for me, with occasional firefox use for just 1 or 2 sites. most of the time firefox seems slower to load, less polished, less reactive and i cant highlight text on pages, hopefully they adress they issues soon though because i would like to love firefox!

I tried firefox but it was slow, crashed my n900 etc. I have heard the new builds are better so waiting for the next release to before I reinstall.

I was JUST about to start a thead like this. I really look forward to what people use each browser for and why.
So far I almost only use MicroB. I like having all the desktop shortcuts, and the mouse option.
I've only used the firefox when I am sitting at my desktop, and sync my tabs so I can can bring some 'reading material' to the other room...

MicroB. Firefox still feels like unfinished prototype.

From a post of mine in a similar thread:
"I like it better. So much so I've made it my default browser. Better UI than MicroB to me. Really nice to have true tabbed browsing, real < > buttons, the usual Firefox extensions like Adblock Plus, etc. Nokia seems to like it too, they're featuring it: http://maemo.nokia.com/
The nightly testing builds are adding more features and speed all the time. Probably won' be too long and we'll get an upgraded version that will really make it nice."
I have tweaked it a bit - enabled flash, doubled the cache from 1024 to 2048 - a little this and that. Been very stable for me and just as fast as MicroB once it gets going (doesn't pre-load into memory at boot-up like MicroB so takes 4-5 seconds to open).

I use MicroB with the css hack to disable all Flash content. It's the fastest experience I've had. Firefox just wasn't even close to fast enough for me, even with Flash disabled by default. I read a lot of news sites and they sometimes have three or four different Flash ads showing at the same time. Having only one Flash box probably wouldn't have that big of an impact.
