I'm definately a chrome guy, its worked for me, I havn't had any major problems with it yet.
In regards to your podcast I do use Firefox and IE from time to time since I'm taking a web development course and I need to know if my websites work with multiple browsers. But I havn't tried IE 9 yet, which I think I will at a later date.
One of the main reasons Chrome is my main browser is the inspect element feature, really nice for debugging web pages and seeing what a particular web page is made up of.
