What's your web browser of choice?

Well, when I couldn't use IE the only thing I could use to get here was Netscape. I didn't like it much...

/me makes a mental note to look into another one for emergencies...

Opera seems OK - But I also use IE

IE is my choice. Sorta.

useing a NON MS powered browser?! Never! phfff.....

MyIE2 is my preferred 'webcrawler'

Firebird all the way. I used to be solidly in the IE camp, even used MYIE2 for quite some time, but I have found Firebird to be much stabler, and off much more capabilities. I can add them as I need them and am not "stuck" with whatever features are in the main client. To be sure MYIE2 does support plugins, but I have never seen many available.
To be sure Firebird at this stage may require a little digging and script altering to get the added benefits, but it is in beta.
Opera is a fine alternative in its own right, but I have always found it awkward to use. Sure it can be setup the way most browsers are, but at first it is too wierd. Plus the fact that you are stuck with ads if you use the free version. If I can use free without ads, then I'm all for it..... so Firebird wins.

I like Mozilla under Linux and Firebird under Windows. I use Mozilla for Linux because I use Linux more and I use Firebird under Windows because Firebird is the same browser but in a smaller package to download. IMHO, Mozilla is more secure than IE and because it is open source bugs and sercurity vulnerabilities get fixed faster.

Lynx.

I'd use Mozilla, but this site doesn't like it, so I use IE.

I've tried Mozilla & the smaller Firebird, but for some reason, it just doesn't work smoothly on my computer. Everything from curser movements, to scrolling to whatever is very jerky and delayed. I gave up, and now I'm back to IE with the Avant Browser skin over it. I like its features, particularly the popup stopper, and it runs very smoothly.

As an aside, I found the same problem with Mozilla's email client, Thunderbird. I really don't want to use Outlook Express, because of all the embedded MS issues and the worms, virii, etc. Now, I use, of all things, Incredimail. It's got all that garbage and bloat, but it runs more smoothly than anything else I've tried, and I've tried alot. So, when are we going to start skinning Incredimail? That program has the most god awful ugly GUI on the planet, next to Zone Alarm (which is a great program anyway).

And, as long as I'm on the topic, do any of you anticipate skinning Palm, in addition to the Windows variety handheld device?

....going skinning crazy.......

Crazy Browser.

Crazy Browser - easy to use.

MyIE2 and IE. Sometimes Firebird.

All right, GhoS! Same with me. Firmly in Microsoft-land for so long...Then I found Firebird and the ol' browse session goes so much better. Tried plain old Mozilla, thought it was too bloated. Besides, Netscape IS Mozilla with a fancy AOL logo...

EI EI OH....IE for Me

I really do like firebird. Except for when I want to come here. Then I usually go back to IE

Used to use Netscape, then Mozilla, and now Firebird

All are gecko based, and the browser keeps getting better and better

I am a hardcore Opera fan, but their latest is not the greatest, 7.11 is the best version so far, they changed the rendering engine and moofed it up, I been test driving one of the Firebird nightly builds, very good browser and fast too.(Don't tell anyone,I am not an IE person, but I think myIE2 is purdy good)

Mostly all works fine appart from when you try and quote someone in Mozilla/Firebird

Avant Browser v8.02 works well over IE for me. It adds the ability to have tabs, allows superb organization of links, and just seems to run flawlessly here.

My web-browser of choice would be free, super-fast, secure and totally bug-free....but that doesn't exist...

Avant Browser has been working well for me.

Avant Browser and MyIE is mostly the same.

Voo: without IE, I lose my admin textbox. As an admin, I need IE.

I use Mozilla Firebird, but I also use Internet Explorer for certain sites that work better there, which are usually MSN sites. However, I've impulsively subscribed to MSN 8 recently so I think I might be using that as well.

To be sure MYIE2 does support plugins, but I have never seen many available.

There is a VERY nice collection of MyIE2 plugins at this page..

Not trying to "push" the browser on you or anything but if you ever wanted to try it again, this is a nice page.

MyIE2 is my top choice now. I love it. It's perfect for me. I love the tabs, speed, skins, available controls, etc.

I used Opera for awhile and I still like it, but some pages I use don't work without IE.
I have friends that swear by Mozilla and Firebird , but both browsers run slow and seem clunky to me. It's funny how we can have such different experiences with the same product.
