What browser do you use?

[pitupepito2000]

Hi,

Like many of you I first used IE, but one day I tried mozilla firefox and loved it. I'm just wondering how many people in this forum use IE and Firefox. If you use IE, please give firefox a try, you won't be disappointed. Here's a link to firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Firefox: here's why.

There aint no substitute, people.

 

[murphy55d]

I use MyIE2 which is now called "Maxthon". Based off IE but with many many more features.

 

[Mnementh]

I use Opera at home and unfortunately IE at work, still haven't managed to convince the moronic IT manager that IE is a BIG risk...

I know, I was going to put up there Opera, but I don't like Opera for personal reasons.

I already did. I didn't like it. IE is faster and overall more convenient.

Another (unrecordable, unfortunately) vote for Opera.

Same here, except I still use outlook at home. Been meaning to try thunderbird.

I've been using Firefox for a while and, so far, I love it.

Ok, ok, I don't want an unfair poll, so I added opera to the list.

Can you extend on the comment of your post. I can think of the following reasons why Firefox is better than IE out of the top of my head:
security
better bookmark management
extensions/building by blocks process
themes
google search bar integrated
cookie manager
gives you power

 

[SpunkyJones]

Opera at home, Opera at work.

 

[bandana163]

Opera.
I see no reason not to.

Some sites also don't like Firefox, so you have to use IE. It's a pain
I wish everything worked with Firefox, but there's the occasional switch to IE which some people might not like.

 

[rudeguy]

I switch between firefox and IE. IE works with everything, but has issues.

I will switch to FF when Yahoo Companion supports it. I jump around everyday with the companion (which is basically a toolbar except with Y! Calendar, Bookmarks, Mail, Briefcase, popup-stopper, etc.) and I just can't adapt to a browser without the quick links. The biggest difference between it and adding those buttons within FF is the bookmarks in Y! Companion is a dropdown list for fast browsing. I'm too used to it. Can't adapt to the damned tabs (I like alt-tabbing windows anyway) either.

So basically, there's no incentive but a fraction of page-loading speed for me.
