    I like IE better. But people get all hyped up about security and tab browsing. Also, it has the ability for extensions and plugins. Which I dont really understand. Also you can view pngs in firefox.

    Ive tried it but il stick with opera...the greatest browser of them all, the only reason a lot of ppl use firefox rather than opera is because its open source.

    Yeah Opera is better, no doubt. BUT it requires payment, which I think is just stupid. Microsoft can manage to give its browser for free, but why does Opera have to be so cheap?

    Who cares what other people's internet browsers are? Just use whatever you like best.

    I use firefox, the tabbed browsing is a nice function, as is the open source plugin distribution, popups are blocked (although SP2 does the same for IE). Firefox for me is just easier, although the lack of usability sometimes grates me, such as having to install plugins that come with I.E., and the fact the web-browser is navigator based, DOES limit your CSS viewing capabilities.


    For usability, I use firefox.
    For aesthetics, I use I.E.
