haha i just use IE6 i never liked mozilla or firefox

I used to like IE alot. No reason to change really until I used Firefox for about a week. If you do, and try to go back, you'll just say "UGH!". Once you've used FF or Opera for a while, you won't be able to stand IE.

You won't be able to stand going through wndow after window after window just to find one page you opened. I really liked Opera too but compared to Firefox it is slllooowwww and the @!%$ ads take up all that space, and time to load them. Opera has -no- space to actually look at a web page. FF can be configured to only take up one line at the top of the page!

Firefox will do that too, you just need an extension that makes "new windows" popup in new tabs. Extremely easy to do.

---edit---
Just realized on 2nd look that bizkit already answered that, but I'll post a link to the extension while im at it

I know this will blow your mind, but the exact same can be done with opera.

Simple enough, just use Mozilla!!! Some Quicktime files wont load in Mozilla though but you can just copy paste the link to Internet Explorer and it'll work, works every time for me....

Since I didn't read the entire thread I might've missed something important or I'm repeating what's aleady been said, but on well!

firefox (0.9.3) small, simple and fast.

IE for windows updates and secure sites. i still like IE but i've got used to the tabs in FF.

i've tried a few builds of opera but the ad really bugged me.

netscape............no.

my ie2 was nice.....might give it another whirl.

In the words of the all wise Leo LaPorte "Internet Explorer is too powerful."

IE would be awesome if it didn't have so many great features that are easy to hack crack and break your lawnmower with.

Firefox = free, less powerful, and... free! Plus it has a fox on the shortcut, which is cool looking

I just realized this is under the "Linux and Unix" forum. Why?
