I vote Mozilla Firefox. The reasons are
Because with MIE, I used to get pop up ads nonestop, now I get them once a week if I'm lucky.
The tab ability *drools* it's a multitasker's dream!
The download window
The name
The hot logo and icon
The fact that I have only TWO icons besides the refresh, back, forward and home icons. On MIE, it was to the point that I could only see half the internet screen.
Basically Firefox totally pwns MIE. I haven't tried the others though

My favourite is Internet Explorer.

It is the original and I'm used to all the buttons and stuff. When I tried Firefox, it looked really weird and confused me.

It used to be FireFox but now that I have the new Opera my opinion has changed.

I don't have any technical reasons... but I've used Netscape, IE, Opera, and FireFox, which I'm using right now... and FireFox is my favourite. I don't want to pay for that ugly turquoise ad on Opera to go away, and I get too many pop-ups on IE, even with pop-up blockers. I didn't use the net much when we were using Netscape, but I have the feeling FF surpasses it.

*bricked for not having tech-y reasons* ;-;


Oh, other reasons are Crystal Clair's. X3 The tabbed browsing was the original reason I had for switching.

I prefer FireFox. I'm using IE right now, but I've tried FireFox before, and I liked it alot, for the same reasons as Kylie-chan and Crystal Clair. It's a shame my Dad made me get rid of it. -_-;
Just to get back at him, if you share the same computer, change the home page to the official Mozilla Firefox site. :p

Why do you not tell them of those features.

P.S. Opera > Firefox recently.

Firefox, not because I'm a fanboy and follow what everyone else does, but Tabbed Browsing = IS DA ROXORZ!!!OMG111ONEONE
Why is 7 tabs different from 7 windows? because 7 tabs stay under the same tab on your start bar. :) Good because I like to keep track of my IMs.

Firefox, although I would like to try some of the other web browsers, such as OmniWeb and Safari. Excluding Internet Explorer, I have only tried older versions of Netscape, Firefox, and Opera. I prefer Firefox over Opera because, unless you really go messing around with some of its system files, it's easier and simpler to use and configure than other browsers. I find Opera to be frustratingly hard to configure, and I find the toolbars to be a mess.

Opera. I have that and Mozilla/Netscape, Mozilla FireFox, and IE of course.

FireFox and Opera are pretty close in speed and performance, but it's too slight for me to care at all. I'm voting Opera over FireFox since I can get it to work with my WinBlinds skins.
I think it's because of the way Firefox skins itself, or you may have put Firefox on the WindowBlinds exclusion list by mistake. Either way, I suggest finding a skin for it as a workaround.

Though I'm using Firefox right now, I choose the IE.
I just like it the most.
I never had any spyware/malware/adware or virus problems when surfing with IE.
The only thing I'm interested in, in firefox is the Alpha PNG support and the tabs.
And when IE7 will be out I'll definatly switch back to IE.

FireFox for a PC and Safari for a Mac +_+
Well, I don't have a Mac, I hate Opera (You have to BUY it T_T), and FF suites my liking :E
Opera was free to begin with. It was only the adless version you had to pay for. Even that's free now.

I love FireFox. And when I get my laptop online (maybe in the next 10 years) I'm only going to use FireFox. There won't even be an IE button on my desktop, there won't even be another browser on my desktop, just FireFox (ok, if I can move over FireBird it's going to be there as well XD). I might give Opera a try, but it's hard for me to change and I'm done used to FF so I don't think it's a browser I'll stick with.

I used to stick with IE only, but after the big fuss I heard about Mozilla FireFox I had to give it a go and try it. I've stuck with it ever since then. I believe I got it back in June or so, so it has not been that long, but it made a good impression on me.

I really don't have a preference, which is why I said other. I use IE on one computer because Firefox and opera cripple it for some reason.

I use Opera on my laptop because FireFox has that memory leak problem and that's not good for it, but I don't want to use IE on it.

Finally, I use Firefox on my desktop because I have a ton of memory on it, so the memory leak doesn't really affect it.
