Which browser do you use?

Opera most of the time, mainly because I'm anal about memory management.

Firefox for college things (my cookies are set up differently in each browser) and for things that don't work in Opera

IE for FTP and things that don't work in either Firefox or Opera.

But now that I'm pretty much always using at least two of them I'm prolly not saving much memory

Firefox. Why? I dont know, its been told to me that it is better than everything else so I guess it is. But wait, yea actually its the fastest out of anything I've used to I'd say its the best browser.

I haven't tried Opera Mini for Pocket PC, well, because I just don't feel like spending money on it when Pocket IE works just fine and is already included.

Now if only there was a Pocket Firefox.....

you can use minimo (firefox for ppc), it's still in beta but works pretty well. you can also download the netfront beta for free as well.

i hvae been using firefox on my PC for a few years now i think, can't even remember what version it was.

Firefox all the way.

It allways amazes me that on any forum where a poll like this is held, Firefox comes out on top, while Firefox doesn't even have 20% (not sure on specifics, but it has to be less than this) market share. It must be that the majority of active internet users use Firefox, and that elsewhere (every windows pc) where Internet Explorer is installed it's not being used so much.

Standard internet users don't care and just use one that comes preinstalled on their computer.

I have been using this for the last few days. A couple things to note:

1. It completely omits the top bar that normally contains file, edit, view, tools, help, etc. I think I've been able to find all these options elsewhere in the program, though. This omission results in more screen for the actual web page (until aol/google/canon/mywebsearch come along and add toolbars

)

2. The page layout is very nice (something I've always liked about IE.) I don't know what it is (I'm no web developer), it just seems more legible: good contrast between small, normal, and large fonts; sizing of everything looks accurate.

3. Takes longer to load a page than I remember FF taking. Then again, I had editted the about:config quite extensively. Also, its using a lot of processing power compared to any other browser I've watched, CPU peak usage is regularly hits 90%. Maybe someone with a faster processor won't mind, but I definately don't like that.

4. I haven't ran into any pages that it has problems with. Yet.

All-in-all, I'm gonna keep using it as my only browser until I just can't live any longer without FF.

edit: Oh ya, and TABBED BROWSING!
