I use several browsers. 1. Most of what I do is on Firefox. NoScript is turned on, and disallows Google Analytics. I'm not signed into Google, although as this article points out, that changes little. I use CookieCuller aggressively. Ad/pop-up blocker are in play. Etc. The net effect is to make web browsing less noxious than it otherwise might be -- few pop-ups, few adds, very few cases of some noisy video spontaneously playing when I click a link in Firefox. 2. My monash.com email has long gone through Google Apps. That's in Chrome. I also open links I get through email in Chrome, but do little else there. In that browser I'm usually signed into Google. Chrome/Google consume a lot of resources, e.g by insisting on opening Google Talk whether I want it or not. But it's a manageable annoyance, as I keep my open-tab count in Chrome fairly low. 3. I use IE very selectively. If a page won't open in another browser, I try it there. A few of my most-annoying and rarely used apps and sites are relegated to IE -- Facebook, WebEx/GoToMeeting/etc., and perhaps a few others I'm not thinking of now. Unlike the other two browsers, IE is outright closed on my PC much more often than it's open.
