Opera. Occasionally Mozilla if something for some reason doesn't work properly in Opera. I'm forced to use IE at tech though.

I use Mozilla. I have a user agent switcher that lets me into sites that normally only allow internet explorer, but sometimes, it's absolutely necessary to use internet explorer.

Eh, Which one I choose if I use Mozilla but not Firefox?
(I have a bit outdated version of Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Epiphany)

What he said.

Using Internet Explorer is like having a sign on your head asking to be attacked, fed pop-ups and other unpleasantries, especially if you combine it with an AOL subscription.

Happy Firefox user :)

and a fire wall....get a firewall....either a hardware based one that is a NAT firewall/router or a software one like f-secure or zonealarm

and of course anti virus

and adaware and spybot....

and if you are running windows....download those updates as well!

I used IE for absolutely ages until a friend recommended Firefox. I decided there was no harm in giving it a try, and I liked what I saw. The tab, bookmarks and history work very well and so I decided to stick with it. I've been happy with it ever since.

Firefox, except for my online classes, which are based in Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server, which doesn't play nice with anything but IE.

<rant>
Web scripting is subject to international standards, set by the IEEE (I'm a member, BTW), so there are only two (2) reasons SPS won't work right on another browser. One is laziness on the part of Microsoft developers that just don't want to test and fix, and the other is that Microsoft doesn't really care if their stuff is compatible with the rest of the world. Either way, it is just plain stupid. :headbang:

Firefox all the way. It's excellent. I previously had Netscape 7.2, and Firefox is so much better than that. If I have to use it (or IE), it's like being unable to use my left hand to type. :D

I use AOL. Used it for years, but only began to really go on the internet just this past year. Of course, I use Internet Explorer, but I prefer AOL. Keeps most of the pop ups away.

(If you have Windows Service Pack 2, you should have a pop up blocker for IE. But I'm still using AOL.)

I hear that!

Especially with the XP skin that I have. Has same basic look as most windows apps, but better stability and performance than IE, Netscape, or Firefox.

You know, since everybody's switching over to firefox, there'll be more and more viruses and spyware designed for it...

Konqueror! But it's not on the list. And Galleon! But that's not there either. *sighs* I guess I'll just have to vote Mozilla....

Seriously though, Mozilla's the best (unless you're using Linux and can use Konqueror). Woohoo!

Die, Microsoft! :sniper:

Firefox is, in my opinion, the best, but I'm deluded.

Konqueror! Well, sometimes I use Links too, but I doubt anyone would add that to the poll.
