I just use Firefox because it sounds cooler than "Opera"  |

My favorite browser? Internet Explorer hands down.
Between those two? Firefox. Just my personal preference.

Dan must be painting something in a small room. Why in the world is IE your favorite? | |

Opera This guy describes why
endless configuration options
If you cant' do it via GUI their config files give you a lot of control if you take the time to figure them out.
Personally I purchased Opera, if you dont' want to buy ... instead of getting the graphical ads with Opera 7 you can use Google relevant text ads that aren't that bad.

With all the patches and service packs installed, I dont see why not?
Internet Explorer works fine for me. I dont have pop-up problems. Use PopThis! for that.
I dont really use tabbed browsing, dont need it. I dont need skins, or useless plugins.
Internet Explorer works just fine for me. And its fast. Works in all websites too.
I have tried Opera, Mozilla, and Firefox. Still dont like them as much as Internet Explorer.
Besides, its so integrated to Windows as spyware is integrated to Kazaa.

Been using firefox since version .6 (which was called firebird at the time I think). Best internet related decision ive ever made I think. Popup stopper works almost flawlessly (on very rare occasions I have to "Allow" a site so i can get the link/window I need).
The google search bar is really handy. Tons of extensions. Program itself loads very quickly.
What I hate most opera is the whole pay version / free version with ads thing
Firefox is always free.
My only complaint with FF is that some sites dont show up just right, for example the thread inks here at Techimo (the recent threads list near top of screen) showup as black blocks rather than black background with white text on mouse-over (other than the "active" link which shows up fine when you mouseover) | |

I have used both Opera and Firefox. Out of the 2, I prefer Firefox. The main reason that moved me to FF is that Opera you have to pay to get rid of adds... Which I hate adds.
Still I use IE alot. FF is still #1. | |

I don't like Opera's interface. Even when I customize it, it still feels wrong somehow. I also had trouble with it rendering pages incorrectly. | |
