I know Stack Overflow can be used with almost every browser today, but I have a few more specific questions:

  • Which browser do the developers suggest to use for Stack Overflow?

  • What percent of users use a particular browser (Chrome/Firefox/IE/Safari)?

  • Does the SO team have a graph representing the above statistics?

    If you're considering changing your browser based on getting the best StackOverflow experience, you need to get out of the house a little more often.

    Oh, if only. Shame that the design of stackoverflow treats non-JS users as second-class citizens.

  • Non-JS users are second class citizens. Or conspiracy theorists.

I use Firefox for one reason: GreaseMonkey. There are tons of great grease monkey scripts out there for M?S[FOU].

I dumped IE for Chrome because SO is SLOW on IE. It's all that fancy-pants client side stuff, especially when hiding/highlighting tags.
