I use Mozilla 0.9.9 for Windows
because it has a good easy to use interface, it seems to be the fastest Browser I have come across and its not M$

IE6, only 'cause I can't uninstall the thing from winXP!

IE5.5 on win98SE PC's, IE5 on NT4 ('cause 5.5 rests security level to 128 bit and stuffs up my service packs!)

Soon to reload Linux, so prob Mozilla as well.

Cheers
Mick

IE6 because I can't use 5.5 on XP. What have they done to IE? I guess I will try Netscape, because this crashes way too much (on 2k and XP). Or, maybe I can convence all the web sites I go to not to use any heavy scripting

Why is it crashing? I have never had IE6 crash on winXP Pro except with my nvidia driver crashing (still a prob occasionally - I have an old TNT2 M64 vid card, and Detonator drivers don't work too well).

I think IE6 crashes much less than IE5.5 used to on win98SE, actually.

IE6 here because its already installed, and works. You know what they say, "if it aint broke, dont fix it." Or was it "if it aint broke, Microsoft will fix that?"
