It's Firefox. Is there any other? :D

I use a Mac at work, and even though I have Firefox installed, I still tend to use Safari most of the time. At home I use Firefox, so really it probably works out to 50-50, but I only get one vote. So, Safari it is for me, just to be a little different! I know Firefox is gonna win this poll...

Avoid IE like THE PLAGUE, but many sites both at work and "out there" only work properly with it. Sad part is, the more Firefox evolves, the more like IE it acts.

Pages load faster with Netscrape (pre-version 8.0) than either of them, but I still prefer Firefox.

I have noticed Firefox is getting slower and slower. Shame too as it used to be a good browser.
I guess it's time to install Ubuntu again so I can use Konqueror. Last time I used it, it loaded and ran just fine.
I may try Opera too and see how it works. I never have liked Netscape.

Firefox is the best by far,
and as others have said, IE has to be the worst.

While Firefox is obviously the best by far, old habits die hard, and I'm still using IE6. From what I hear, IE7 is terrible. !*00*!

I use Firefox whenever possible, but once and while the page just doesn't look right so I try IE7. I'd say though, 98% of the time Firefox rocks! I do find it interesting though that IE7 features many of the things that I've come accustomed to in Firefox. Tabbed browsing and add-ons just to name a few. It's amazing that great big Microsoft copies features of an open source app. !!ff!! Although I haven't checked it out, I wonder if the new features of Microsoft Office have been around in OpenOffice for a while now?
