Community poll forum: Which browser do you use most?

I'm using Firefox because it was necessary to get into some blog-type online software, but found I like it better than IE because of the tabs.

YES let's keep competition alive. So many great software companies have been bought out just to have their products eliminated. There is much good about MS, but competition is the spice of life and I wouldn't mind using Firefox just for the purpose of helping to maintain competition.

Integrated email and full featured, I don't care about saving space. I want, and get, a solid browser with great features

I use Maxthon, introduced by a techie friend. It's a great tabbed browser, much better than IE.

I now use version 1.5.0.6, but I have used FF ever since the first public release of version 1. To me, there is no other browser. Firefox is fast, safe, utilitarian and fun. And, with Firefox, the web browser is one area of computing where one is not forced to deal with MS. Now, if only I could bring myself to switch from Windows to Linux!

Never mind my post, I googled it and found out. (I forget you can find out ANYTHING with Google, except how to achieve world peace).

I've been using K-meleon for a few days and have found it to be very fast, stable and seems to be light on resources

Its really a shame that people are so persuaded by something as simple as advertising.

Yes Opera screwed up by not making its browser free so long ago, but it is free now....

An article on popular firefox extensions... intrigued me. Was there something that I was missing???

Too be honest I wish there was. So many geeks use firefox nowadays that I assume that I must be doing something wrong by relying only on Opera and Internet Explorer.

If opera advertised, surely it would excede firefox as the most common second browser among anyones choice. Apart from all the features that firefox needs "extensions" for... Opera does automatically.

Mouse gestures are neat but not something I use. Built in Email client also terrific, completely customizeably interface... as well as going much further for the serious geeks... (including style interface interception, cookie managers, referrer switching, quyick changing (cookies, referer logging, as well as browser identification). The integrated performance manager is also a easily accessible treat. Including adjusting cache sizes and history changes for use on older systems.

The main Opera download is only 4.3MB making it accesible to dial up users, as well as the fact that all of the faetures available only as extensions to firefox users are included in that 4.3MB download. Voice capability is the only "addon" that I have come across, although that weighs in at a hefty 10MB, still its nice to control your browser through vocal commands.

Lets not exclude security. Opera is far more secure then Firefox. I use only nod32 as my antimalware software, (with occasional spybot sweeps) that have never turned up malware on my system. rootkit revealer has also turned up nothing. Rootkit revelaer has only shown one problem in 2 years also, but that was related to game installs. The dreaded starforce antipiracy software... which was quickly removed...

I tried firefox when it came out, who didn't? But the lack of included features and lack of security (it was more secure then IE6 for almost 3 months, now it is targetted however... and without prompts to tell you that "updates are available" (unless that has changed recently) I cant see how they can claim more security...)


I love Opera, and a small 100KB backup transfers all of my 300 bookmarks, password log ins as well as cookies that I keep a tight control on (Through the integrated cookie manager)

I use Mozilla 1.7.13. I have many extensions installed to augment its use for designing.

Avant is faster than IE and doesn't crash like Firefox.

I use Firefox (1.5.0.6), of course. With all the add-ins, extensions, and the great interface, what's not to love?

I use internet explorer b/c it is on my computer and easy to use. I would love to explore some other browsers but I am concerned about messing up my computer w/ too many files, etc.

Although some browsers, such as Netscape and Opera, were sold for a profit in the beginning, most browsers are now distributed for free. There's nothing to lose by trying any of them, so I suggest you give it a shot and see what you're missing.

Up until recently, I had no way with Firefox to keep bookmarks up to date on more than one computer. I use SyncToy to synchronize files between my two, and IE was the only browser that allowed me to keep those synced too. Firfox stores its bookmarks as a single html file, and SyncToy won't sync the contents of files, just the whole file.

Avant 11.0 is a nice IE shell. Everything
works quickly and smoothly. Since it has
an IE core, all pages are rendered properly.
The tab features are available as well
as add ons like the Google toolbar. It's
a nice browser and better then IE7.

i like beta internet explorer 7it seems too work pretty good.
