Chrome for forums and browsing, Firefox for games.

wat.
Diglett 032 waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air.
There were viruses in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now
for years. His warnings to Kernel NTOSKRNL were not listenend to and now it was too
late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Diglett 032 was a browser for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the
browsers and he said to dad "I want to be on the internets daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY VIRUSES"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But
now in the operating system base of the UAC he knew there were viruses.
"This is NTOSKRNL" the error message crackered. "You must fight the viruses!"
So Diglett 032 gotted his anti-virus and blew up the firewall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the viruses
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberviruses and he fired the virus missiles. Diglett 032
anti-virused at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were
trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the viruses" he shouted
The radio said "No, Diglett 032. You are the viruses"
And then Diglett 032 was Internet Explorer.

I wanted to go with "I want to be Internet Explorer daddy" and "And then Diglett 032 was a popup," but it wouldn't fit with what he said. :(

Also, you IE users should try the new Chrome Frame that Google released. Supposedly it makes things safer and faster (well, Microsoft says it makes things less safe, but Google says it makes things more safe). Give it a try and tell me if things are any better.

I use Firefox mainly, but I have both Safari and IE installed on this computer. Why? I have no idea. o_o
you have IE most likley because you have a windows computer and it comes pre installed
safari most likely because when you download iTunes Safari can install itself unless you un click the option to install it

I mainly use Firefox but i sometime use Google Chrome and IE (I only use IE because i can't use the radio that some sites have on it like listening to the AFL or when i listen to Hamish and Andy, Australians know who they are other people should listen to them their quite funny)

I use Opera 10.10 build 1799 at the moment. It's sweet. Much faster than Internet Explorer, and very secure. Opera Unite is also very awesome. I tried Mozilla before, but I could never warm up to it. A long time ago, I used a browser called FlashPeak SlimBrowser. At least I did until Opera went free.

I also used AOL's stupid browser when I was leeching internet off of my friend. That was the most horrendous browser I have ever used. On top of dialup, it was so slow and insecure. Images never loaded correctly (sometimes, they didn't load at all), and Flash didn't work correctly a lot of the time, either.

These days, Firefox. Used to be IE, but I've seen the error of my ways now.

Firefox 3.5 has been bothering me to death with tiny little quirks that seem to accumulate into a technological insanity. Opera has been a smooth alternative and works PERFECTLY! :D I use Midori on my laptop.

Since I'm primarily a Mac user, I have Safari as my default browser in OS X. I do have Firefox and Opera installed, but I seldom use them. Firefox I find a little... bloated, and Opera... well, Opera's a different story alltogether. It's lightweight, but it's so un-Mac-like that it doesn't appeal to me. And then... CAMINO.
<s>I haven't used it yet... :P</s>
In Windows, Firefox is the clear winner. Just like any sensible Mac user would do, I've customized Firefox from top to bottom to make it look like Safari (Fission as the blue loading bar, vFox for the Safari theme, etc.). Opera is a second, but it's a way off. The main thing that I used to love Opera for (mouse gestures) has equivalents in Firefox (Mouse Redox Gestures), and I've also recreated Fast Dial or whatever it's called.

I'm down with the Firefox myself. I used to use Opera, but switched to the Safari 4 Windows beta. After a couple of weeks of struggling with that, I moved onto Firefox, and that's served me well ever since.
And I always thought you were a hardcore Opera-rer.

Anyway, I use Opera.

I have all of those browsers but I still use internet explorer.
I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to use others. Maybe it has become a habit for me(I've been using it for years). O_o

But after taking a look at the poll results(IE lags badly, while MF is at the top D: ), I think that I'll give others a shot too. XD
