    I have used many browsers, IE, Opera, Firefox, Safari, and another one I forget, but by far the best one is Firefox, it's easy, customizable, and better at surfing, and safer. 2nd would mos def. be Opera, I like it for it's slick design and it has good surfing. IE has many flaws, and it takes forever to load stuff up, like on this one forum I'm part of, it takes like 20 min. to load up all the pics, and I have high speed internet.


    Firefox > Opera > IE

    actually opera>firefox>IE

    but I've grown fond of Firefox, and I need the extensions, so I'm willing o sacrifice a bit of performance and security for adblock, script blocker(which more or less fixes EVERY security issue ever) and other things

    and I have the RAM to waste on Firefoxes innefficient caching so i don't care

    I liked firefox because I was easily able to handle my bookmarked pages and because it had an extension that easily allowed me to add new bookmarks. I also like it for its awesome collection of themes. As mentioned already, there are a lot of extensions which make life easier (that alone is reason enough to get firefox) and the nice little spell checker in firefox 2.0 is always good to have.

    Same, I use those extensions as well. It is a good trade off imo, the extensions for the ram.

    ps: I never get viruses, nor spyware, etc. I keep my comp very clean, so even if I do get something ( very unlikely ) it will be gone in no time.

    No, because I know what im doing...

    I use: Spybot ( Not real time )
    >Windows defender
    >AVG Paid version.
    >Common sense, about 12 years knowledge of the internet, what to do and what not to do.

    Also, my router.

    Those combined I do not get spyware, viruses, etc.
