b/c I accidentally posted in the wrong forum....meant to do software, but I forgot I was in hardware.....

gees...easy there guys....i hope I haven't ruined your weekend.
 
Yeah, ive been using firefox for a few months now and absolutley love it...comes out of the box with a very nice liitle popup blocker. nice themes too...i use the Noia 2.0 theme and it actually feels a little faster than default
 
Opera

but if just between thoes 2 i woudl use IE with either MyIE2 or Crazy Browser adons, both give popup blocking thats just as good as anythinng else out there, tabbed browsing and a bunch of other stuff
 
i used both. couldnt get used to opera interface, and there are quite few sites i am frequent that arent opera friendly. for that same reason, firefox is not cure-all either. FF+IE works for me.
 
just try firefox and you wont go back to ie only for stuff you have to like windows update and other certain things
 
I mostly use FF, but some websites require IE. The one thing both have in common is that they're memory hogs. With one tab open after browsing for 10 minutes or so FF is using 78MB of memory.
 
firefox is great, easy to use, fast... everything IE isnt. plus the extensions, adblock, callender, open in IE. ...wait
 
wow....firefox is being used alot more than i thought!!!!

i've been using it all day and love it so far.....except I can't view full system details in the orb 3dmark05
 
I used IE for the longest time. Moved onto Crazy Browser, but too many pop-ups got through, I finally switched to FireFox and no regrets.
 
I use FF all the time. I can user IE on other peoples PC's just fine though. I think FF is better obviously because of tabbed browsing and a few tweaks here and there that can really speed it up. IE is and OK browser and it does a decent job for people who fear new things.

Another thing this shoudl really be in the software forum.

FireFox is for those who hate having IE crash on them every 10 minutes- no for people who love IE. If IE works perfect for you, you won't notice much more of a difference other than tabbed browsing, and some pages not loading.

That pretty much sums it up.

I personally prefer Firefox because I found both IE and Netscape to be unstable.
 
I tried out firefox, but I just didn't like tabbed browsing that much, and IE has always worked great for me.
 
Firefox for me!

I tried Maxthon for a few weeks but dumped Maxthon in favor of Firefox. There are a couple of sites I use that require IE but Firefox is my default browser of choice.
