you should have put Mozilla up there since it is different from Firefox.

firefox is da ****. so glad i've moved past IE. The new IE that comes with SP2 is a step in the right direction, but still far behind firefox IMO.

Safari at home & school, IE and Netscape at work . . . it is rather unfortunate that the company I work for doesn't develop on the Mac. ;-)

I use IE all the time and don't like it very much. I have firefox too, but I don't use it as often. I love the tabs for browsing. I mainly use firefox for looking at p0rn so it won't show up in IE history and so 800,000 more cookies/viruses won't be on the computer.

I've converted everybody with half a brain in my computer classes (including instructors).

Sure it may not play nice with exchange 2000, but its alot safer than microcraps IE.

I use Opera on the K6-233 system, since its the only modern browser that runs properly on Win95 OSR2. But its Mozilla everywhere else. It launches faster than Firefox since it stays resident in memory after bootup. I've given a good amount of money to the Mozilla project -- we all should!

Right now I'm alternating between IE 6 and Firefox. I tend to use IE more often, but Firefox is definitely nice. I've also used various versions of Opera in the past, but found too many compatability problems (especially with message board software).

Ack! It's the official Operating System of Satan himself. ;)

The only good thing about Windows 95 was that it tends to mercifully self-destruct after a little while. :D

Anyway, I've been very impressed with the stability of Firefox. No major issues so far. I *might* consider making it my primary browser if everything keeps going so smoothly.

Am i the only one who uses Opera. I cannot stand IE. I'm too lazy to create a profile in Netscape. Every once in a while i use mozilla. I really like the tabbed pages in Opera. All i have to do is open it and all the forums, email accounts and other misc pages i visit are right there, not to mention all the shortcuts you can do with the mouse.

Its the ultimate lazyman's browser. did i mention no popups
