Well, Bing is a search engine, not a web browser. 
Never heard of Flock.
You forgot Netscape Navigator!
I currently use Firefox 4.0 Beta, IE 9 Beta, and occasionally Chrome. It seems like IE 9 and FF 4 are slowly evolving into Chrome copies, we shall see.

I have used Firefox since I was smart enough to realize the unnecessary strain that older and newer copies of Internet Explorer by expressing more than their fair share of system resources. To be fair, I have not used IE9 beta yet just for the simple fact that when I installed it, my system froze and I removed it upon my next Windows boot.
As of right now, when I am booted in Windows, I use FireFox as a primary with Chrome and Safari as secondaries. I have actually removed core files of IE in order to hinder its presence on my system. Lately however, I have seen my browsing habits start to slowly migrate over to Chrome based simply on its stability that recent releases of Firefox has lacked.
When I am booting Linux, I use Chrome as a primary with Firefox as a secondary. Only reason why I currently operate this way is because I have found that a lot of Fire Fox addons do not like to play with Linux flavored FireFox.
The only time I use Opera is when I'm on my cell phone and my iPod as both of their factory browsers are quite lacking for my tastes.
I believe I tried flock at some point, but it needs to mature greatly before I would even consider keeping the program on any of my systems. It seems that over 65% of my web pages that I access frequently do not work well/at all under Flock.
EDIT:
As of this point, I make a strong suggestion that anyone using IE as their primary browser, to look very hard at Firefox. It is not only safer, but it also does not exert unnecessary use of system resources. From a historical stand point, FF receives more frequent updates and those updates tend to be much more comprehensive than what M$ has issued for IE browsers. In my professional opinion, the only thing that should keep you from using FF as your primary web browser is FF's current lack of support for some PHP coded sites, and M$ server access/M$ Exchange use via their webmail system.
