There all free, they all seem good but I'm getting sick of Firefox (takes too long to start up) and I never use Internet Explorer. Which one do you use/think is the best and why?

Opera in my opinion, I find it much better than the other browsers in terms of speed, security and features. However Maxthon is also a very good browser. Internet Explorer and Firefox do have an impressive range of add-ons that make them decent also but neither have impressed me much so Opera and Maxthon it is.

LMAO. I think I'll try Opera. I just find the initial start up of Firefox takes too long, I just want something small and fast... Although I just heard of Maxthon from a PC World article, it sounds like it combines the small & fastness of Opera with the features of Firefox plus much much more. Anyone hear use it?

Something must be wrong because for me Firefox is SLOWER than IE 7, most if not all of its expansions are gimmicky and boring and rarely used. Plus it has this cheap look to it. Last time I checked the reason we use internet browsersis so we can....surf the net? not so we can make it a little easier to operate iTunes with foxytunes. BUT I must say tabs are AWESOME and have innovated the internet, but IE 7 has them now so there is no reason to get Firefox either than perhaps to look 'independant'

I use firefox because I feel safer using it, and because addons make my life a lot easier and ad-free

the speed thing doesn't bother me, and I've never heard of maxthon(and seeing the poll results I don't think anyone else had either)

What's Maxthon? :|

Maxthon is a browser I just stumbled in an article I read today:

Maxthon

Considering that many people have moved their permanent residence to the Internet, you'd think folks would want better digs than Internet Explorer. Sure, there's Firefox; it's sort of the DIY log cabin that Linux devotees build themselves because, you know, Microsoft is evil. There's Opera, too--I have no clue why people use it. And then there's Maxthon, the Rodney Dangerfield of browsers--if Dangerfield looked like Brad Pitt and thought like Frank Lloyd Wright.

One possible reason Maxthon can't get no respect is that it originated in China and has never been properly marketed in the United States or Europe. But the people who have discovered it, as I did a couple of years ago, love it because it packs an arsenal of tools for blazing your way through the morass that the Web can become.

Maxthon, of course, has tabs--it had them before IE and Firefox did. But here's one example of why its tabs work better: When you reopen Maxthon, you're presented with a list of the tabs what were open when you last closed it, and you can pick up where you left off easily. Tabs can be renamed, locked in place, scooted around, tiled, constantly refreshed, and saved in groups that you can later recall in toto.

Other tools translate dozens of languages, let you edit a Web page to eliminate parts you don't want to appear in a printout, and zoom images or the entire screen.

A treelike history helps you find your way back to a certain page. The browser also lets you suck all the images off a page or collect notes and search with multiple engines. There's no way I can tell you all the things that have made me a die-hard Maxthon user. It's free. Try it yourself.

Source:http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,135732-page,4-c,musicvideosharing/article.html

Since I am looking for a new browser I thought this one seems pretty good and might give it a try.

IE is the best browser in my opinion. I'm not currently using it though since I run my Windows using the classic template and IE7 looks terrible on there. I just use Avant instead, same great architecture in a more visually appealing package.

Overall I think browser wars are overrated, most people think a broswer actually determines their internet speed. :lol:
