I use IE and FireFox. I find myself using IE alot more here lately because 1.) its already installed when i re-install Windows, 2.) it opens faster then FireFox, 3.) its 100% compatible with all websites, 4.) it gives you more screen real estate to actually few the website. I like FireFox though because of the plugins, tabbed browseing, and bookmarks but IE is just quicker to load and easier to use when all your wanting to do is view a website.

Since the the release of SP2 Internet Exploder is quite secure and doesn't have all the problems with popups and ActiveX controls. And with a little configuration you can make IE just as secure as any other browser. You've all seen the different security holes that have been found in FireFox with the last few updates so FireFox certainly isn't 100% secure ither.

Firefox

Firefox, add the 'plugins' faster, safer, supreme font size controls, BBcode, HTML and XHTML tools are great!!!

IE is still needed for MS UpDate, some online virus scans and when you want Dell to tell you "Current Configuration of your system.

Hotmail works great in Firefox but Excite Mail needs IE and then Spybot S&D to remove what they add.

Forefox does a lot of updating, have 1.0.6 Lockheed said 1.5? there is now a 1.0.7 up.

Firefox 99% of the time. I use IE for random sites that I can't open properly. I'm using 1.5 beta 1 atm.

Crazy Browser, I believe to be just a plug in for IE but it does the job well. Stops every pop up thrown at it and has tabbed exploring. I have tried Firefox and Opera in the past and found the learning curve to be more than I am willing work at for a internet browser.

Netscape Navigator for Windows 3.1


Actually, I use Firefox 100% of the time. IE sucks.

I agree, IE is horrible - if Firefox doesn't display a site properly, I go to a different site.

I use firefox, yes it works with every page IE does, you just need the IE extension from Mozilla.org...

I used Opera but I can't get a nice big font and picture using it on my I9300 like I can using fire Fox, In Opera the words are always blurry,for me.

Surprised no one has mentioned Avant browser. (www.avantbrowser.com)

I use firefox now, but I used avant in the past, and it was pretty good.

Extensions and themes are the highlight of Firefox...
Without them, firefox is pretty much just any other browser...
But with them.... Seksiness...

Who else can say they can play pong in their browser???
I CAN!!!
