So...... I've tried out three different browsers...... Firefox, Opera, and the new IE. My least favorite was firefox...... slow load times, add-ons that I don't even use, etc. Opera is decent too imo. It has a very clean interface. Well, I just updated to the new IE, and I must say...... I really like it. What's your favorite?  Why?

My favourite is Opera because it's offered me the best performance so far, and it's full of nifty features. I like IE7, though, ithe interface is clean (because it's able to use the full AERO interface and has various transparencies and whatnot), and it's also very fast for me. I also like using an IE7 add-on called IE7pro which added various features to it. I don't really like using Firefox much, it's always slow for me and I often catch it using more system resources than other browsers.

Firefox is faster for browsing imo, and the best and easiest customization.

I use IE7, haven't used anything else and most likely won't. I did try Firefox at one point, but I couldn't work my way around it as easily as I could IE, so I just stick with IE.

I trust firefox more. When I used to use IE, I'd search for Spyware and so much would come up. Now that I use firefox, I haven't had any spyware in 3 months.

Wow really? The process footprint I've seen for Firefox is huge when I've looked at it, like bigger than all of Visual Studio while building a multi-project solution, let alone IE.

1)Myspace music works on Firefox, but not on IE

2)Youtube works on Firefox, but not IE

3)Whenever I post here with IE, it always takes me to the "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page" thing.

4)Overall, Firefox works faster on my computer.

So yeah, I like Firefox better

I use the Firefox for various reasons:

-Useful and/or cool add-ons like Smiley Extra Toolbar  or video download tools (UnPlug, Video Downloader).

-Chooseable themese that give a new look to the browser.

That's just my school's computer. For some reason, IE wants me to install something, but it works on Firefox just fine.

Speed of the browser can depend on things at the user's end, such as how well a browser works with background apps or something that conflicts with one browser or what have you.

I use both, but mostly prefer using Firefox.
