Firefox vs IE7 vs Maxthon vs Opera

by ph15h - 9/17/07 7:14 PM

Acting on reccomendations by people in other forums, I downloaded the latter 2's set up files and I was wondering which one of the four would be the best to use? I do not go to websites with a lot of pop ups or spyware, and I judst use it to look around at deals and what is new.

Which one should I use and what are the pros and Cons of each?

While I avoid any and all browsers that are based on IE due to issues with spyware and more, I do use them all like a collection of tools.

The one not on the list that I use the most is Seamonkey.

other than sea monkey, what would you reccommend?

I already have firefox and outlook so I might have overlooked Sea Monkey by accident. Are their any groundbreaking feautres in the others that I cannot obtain even through an add-on throuhg Firefox?

I don't want any more features in a web browser since those tend to create opportunities for failures in security and more.

If I need something new I might try it like SONGBIRD or other new software.
