I voted for Firefox for the following reasons:

-I am emotionly bonded to it.
-The downlad window is good if you don't want loads of windows hogging the taskbar.
-Its really customizable (its got loads of skins and cool toolbars that can even control iTunes etc...)
-Its good to preview websites you're making with Dreamweaver (IE is a nightmare!!).
-The web search bar comes up with suggestions (with Google anyway).
-You can clear private data when you exit automaticly no questions asked.
-The Firefox name and logo are awesome.
-Its a hell of alot quicker at loading pages.
-Its got every security feature the current IE has.

If IE had all this I might just consider using it. Maybe.
I tried Opera for a few weeks... it was o.k... nothing special. BTW you should add it to the poll.
I know nothing about Netscape. Is it good?

Thats my opinion. ;)

EDIT: I agree with Catweazle, this would've been better posted in the Polls section.


me thinks thats the search history... - or another toolbar


Nope it's apart of the google search built into the firefox browser, it's google suggest instead of just regular google. See here: http://www.google.co...omplete=1&hl=en

My primary browser is Firefox, simply because I love some of the extesnions for it. I do still often browse some sites in IE, mostly for compatibility reasons, and testing site rendering. I also have installed Opera for amusement, and testing.

I voted IE7 nevertheless, and I'd like to comment why, in an attempt to ensure that something meaningful can come from this.

IE7, used in Vista and with UAC left enabled, is quite simply the most 'secure' web browser currently on offer. It's not only 'better' than the rest in that regard - it's head and shoulders above the rest!

Many people moved to Firefox or Opera because IE6/7 and Windows XP was damned near an open door for spyware/malware intruders. Now that the door has been shut, and emphatically so, there's no real 'need' left to source an alternative, and surely only the diehards will cling to a different browser. But habits die hard indeed.


While this is true, some people after changing to Firefox or another browser would usually not switch back. I am one of them.

I use both. IE7 is a improvement then what IE6 once was, but then again I've always used Garbagefox.

I have tried Opera numerous of times and I find it quite disappointing and lacking features for some reason.

IE7 is faster to me, and safer. When I used Firefox, AdAware and Spybot always show me a lot of cookies and spyware, but now they detect nothing. :D

Firefox
Faster, customizable, takes up less memory, and plus it's secure.
