SlimBrowser also does that.  |

Rep Power: 0 | I use all three browsers - IE for the Alexa and Google toolbars, Firefox for its huge array of useful and unique extensions, and Opera for its 'notes' feature, download tools, and lovely email client.
Opera is probably my favourite of the three, but I have yet to replace many of the Firefox extensions.

I only use two, and those are Yahoo and Google. I'm finding that I prefer Google over Yahoo, as it provides me with many more hits that Yahoo. I have never tried Firefox or the others, but I may upon your recommendations. Thanks for the tips! | |

Rep Power: 4 | Look how far firefox is ahead on the poll!
Looks like a clear winner to me. Firefox is the way of the future, soon enough everyone will be using it.
So IE7 better be good I say  | |

Rep Power: 0 | I have only ever used IE. That's becasue I am always reading about how some websites don't support anything else etc...
I figured I would rather not take a chance. But I might give firefox a try. I've been hearing a lot about it lately from here and other places. | |

Theoretically it is better for everyone if we all used different browsers and OS's. | |

Rep Power: 4 | I disagree. If everyone uses a different browser, its a nightmare for designers trying to get websites to work in all those browsers.
I take it you aren't a web designer, and dont understand the nightmares involved. :lol:

I spent days trying to get one of my layouts to look right in Firefox (it's picky with the cell background and image cells ... yeah I need to learn CSS). I agree, it'd probably be better for a more specific standard for browsers. | |

The trouble is, there are so many different ways to read the W2C standards. :cry: | |

Rep Power: 3 | Same here, I made the switch to Firefox after many years of using Internet Explorer. Firefox is much more convenient with tabbed browsing and plenty of useful plugins. | |

Rep Power: 3 | only reason i keep IE is because sometimes for some reason firefox doesn't use quicktime for certain stuff. Even when I use extensions to convert the page to IE it works but after a click i can't get it to work. So I just use IE for that. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Yeah, Firefox is the best overall IMO. Though sometimes I need to bring out IE for compatibility reasons. | |

Honestly Firefox is awful, almost as bad as IE. Opera is the fastest and most secure.
And why isn't Konqueror on the list? | |

Rep Power: 3 | Believe it or not I used IE exclusively up until 6 months ago or so. Than I realized the power of Firefox. Any other browser simply cant compare to the flexibility of FF.

Rep Power: 3 | Although my favorite is firefox. I think it would be mre fair if you asked a more specific question such as, "which browser is best at ________"
