I kept getting weird slowdowns with IE7, but not with Firefox. Damn, I wish I would've used this sooner. Now I have to learn how to use another search engine all over again!

Anyway, which one do you like better and why? PErsonally, I'm liking Firefox.

I dunno. I'm using FF 3 Beta 5 at the moment though, and it seems to work fine, hardly any bugs. But then I'm not a developer so I haven't been searching for them or anything like that.

I can't be bothered to actually download Firefox...so I guess I'm stuck with IE 7.

That's strange, whenever i try Firefox. My internet takes an hour to load, even when we have full download.

I have no problems with IE. It does everything I want it to and runs very smoothly, and that's enough for me.

FF I like the most at the moment. I wish they would finish the FF3 soon. Atleast they have said they would like to have it done by June or so.

but the only thing is that Fire Fox doesn't always work consistly, like when I want to load a you tube flick or just a another site in general and it just sits there and does nothing, ya that gets annoying.

Firefox is faster, more secure and fully customizable. Why using IE when there is a much better free alternative, it's a no brainer really.

Actually Opera is the fastest and safest! Look online for tests and you will see where iam coming from!

Safari is the fastest if you are running it on a Mac!

I used to prefer FF for the tab browsing, but after it was implemented in IE7, I switched ack to that instead. It does offer the best compatibility, I'm having some issues with embedded videos on FF.

Not if you know how to tweak Firefox, but if you just instal it and leave it the way it is then yes Safari is slightly faster.

Mozlilla was much better than previous IE, but IE 7 and Mozilla are equal imo.

Why wouldn't Mozilla tweak it prior to releasing it?

You've got to be kidding me...it's like a 1 minute download, dude. And a 1 minute setup.

Mozilla made Firefox so it could be easily customizable with add-ons. With add-ons, I feel Firefox is the best. Without any, it's only better than IE because it is much safer to use and faster.
