I'm using Firefox 3.5 beta4. I love the AdBlock and NoScript extensions. When I go to a web page I'm in control of my browser not them. Java scripts don't run unless I want to allow them. Plus I never look at ads unless I happen to be shopping online.
I don't use 64 bit browsers because there is no 64 bit Flash. I never could make Opera Look like I wanted it to. It's interface is a little cluttered for my taste. Chrome will probably never allow us to block ads because Google is all about advertising. Maybe Safari is cool. I don't know. I haven't tried it since the first Windows version years ago. That was too slow.
Maybe the other browsers are a little faster but I tried most of them and I don't like them. I love Firefox and it's extensions.
