Firefox, I use it. It rocks, best browser by far.

EDIT: Plus it eleminates about or more than 80% of the spyware that you can only get on IE.

Firefox...IE is simply a piece of *BLEEP*, and Opera and Firefox are by FAR the best. I prefer mozilla simply because it works more efficiently, thus creating a faster page loading effect. Opera, however, has the best setup/features without plugins.

Definatly Firefox, I've had either that or Mozilla for over a year and it beats IE hands down.

Everything beats IE. Safari is certainly the best browser I've ever used. I think that its better and Opera and Mozilla.

IE, i like the feel better than FF. If there was some way to mod FF to look exactly like IE, then i'd use that instead.

I'm sold on FF right now. As soon as I switched to it my bi-weekly infections of the CoolWebSearch virus stopped and my popup ads were cut by 80% (yes, I had popup blocking turned on in IE, AND in my Google search bar).

It does have its annoyances, and I'm willing to switch when something better comes along. But right now it's FF.

I'm using the IE and i like it, no problems at all with it. Enough spy and virus protections are good enough for me [:)]

Urgh, i thought i'd download Firefox to give it a try and i absolutly hated it. It has nothing on IE accept for a cool looking logo. The pages take ages to load and not to mention loading every single picture on a page one by one. It took like 2 mins to load wws.com homepage for the first time

um, do you have high speed? or mabye your computer is just slow. I have Mozilla Firefox, every page loads fast, keeps out popups and anoying spyware. I have high speed too. So naturally pages load fast.

Um, I did not post any links ... pay attention to detail RCT. I have been calling it Internet Exploder for 10 years (saying nothing about this article you found) -- as most Linux users throughout the world have because, well, it bytes.
