Another Firefox fan here. Use MYIE2 when i have to use ie. Gotta loved the tabbed browsing and mouse gestures (even though opera has those as well). Overall Firefox is simple, and quite frankly works.

I voted for opera. I hated it whenever I tried it a couple years ago. Page renders were awful, errors resulted in blank pages, mis-alignment and so forth.. They've came a long way and actually incorporated several improvements, visual and functional, without degrading performance.

Firefox just doesn't stand against Opera's features and layout.

I've been using Mozilla's Firefox on most of my computers lately. About six months ago, I enjoyed using Opera, but it has rather turned into a headache for me.

From the poll results, I see that quite a few others enjoy using Mozilla.

Opera, period. I've been using opera for years and any venture into firefox / mozilla is just cumbersome. The mouse gestures they support are a complete joke. For me that is what makes the difference. Opera 7 seems to me to have a crisper simpler look also, and the built in google search bar is nice

I just read this and found it interesting, for anyone who wants a decent read

LOL. Not exactly an unbiased opinion there now is it?
