Had a discussion with a freind lately,on what internet browser to use.

So I put the question to all of you,Witch one.:confused:
 
1:Firefox
2:Safari
3:IE

Firefox when I'm on my home PC or work PC, then IE on most other PC's since it's already there and when I'm on my MacBook Safari
 
Firefox, until I get to the occasional web page that does not accommodate Firefox then I use IE
 
I think Firefox is a better product than IE. I like there tabs better and love the bookmarks tool bar. There are so many add ons it really is very customizable. I have a button for Sirius and one for kodak gallery where I upload pics to be shared. I can make it look so many different ways as well. It's great. I hate when I have to open IE for something but oh well. If that's my biggest problem of the day, it's pretty damn good day.
 
My browser is not very high on my list of things that I think are important. IE works fine, Firefox is cool as well - no big deal one way or the other.
 
I use Firefox because I like the features, although IE is catching up. I use IE for things that involve Quicktime, because Firefox and Quicktime don't work and play well together.
 
My main browser is Opera. I use Internet Exploder only when I have to. I also use Safari, (yes, on a PC), and Firefox sometimes. I like Opera's composer and the 'delete browsing history' single-click feature. I also like the 'fit to window width' clicky tool.

Now you know.

Never use IE again.

I use Firefox for a number of different reasons, they tend to be faster then either Microsoft or Apple at patching out vulnerabilities, it has a better feature set then Opera has last time I looked into it. It is used less then IE therefore less exploits are abused making it in essence a more secure browser, though with its popularity as high as it is that is changing.

Also it has a nifty spell check, I don't think IE has that yet, not even 8.

Add adblock plus and Adblock Filter.G Updater and you have a combination thats hard to beat.

Oh and the new Fire Fox beats all but Opera in speed tests and Acid 3 tests woohoo :)
 
I use Mozilla Firefox because it takes me back to my very first browser... Mozilla. I like the fact that it saves the state of my session when that ugly blue screen so typical of Windoze rears its ugly head. You'd think at least Microsoft's IE would do the same.
