    I've heard good things about Opera, but for now I'm using FireFox.

    Firefox loads everything the fastest for me, far better than IE. And it automatically blocks popups and spyware, and tabbed browsing, and all the fun plugins.....yeah, FF is awesome. IE sucks.

    you just need totweek FF to display images with no delay. this is a "feature" put into FF to help people with older computers get by. it doesn't apply to many.

    I noticed FireFox also plays gif animations closer to their normal speed then IE does. For some reason IE plays them slower o_0 At least I noticed.

    Firefox sometimes had a popup saying that the operation has timed out. Does anyone know what that means? Well not really a popup but...

    timed out means that your isp tried to connect to the website too long, and results in a timed out message. usually just means too many people are connecting to one location, happens often on dialup.

    Its slower because it has to convert all the images to bitmap

    hmm,

    IE can be hijacked and installs spyware without your knowing, where Firefox can't and blocks most spyware...

    Tough decision... <_<
