Didn't see this in here, so I thought I'd add it. Which web browser do you use?

I used to use IE until version 7 came out, then I ended up switching to FireFox and I am definitely happy I switched, I like be able to customize my workspace and FF is good on that issue. The reason I switched was the IE7 would crash when I tried to send out emails from my school account. I waited a month of sending reports and nothing, so I switched and never looked back.

Firefox, haven't used IE ever since. I some times use Opera if I'm testing out some web page I'm making, but for daily surfing I use my FF because it's faster and works better.

I used to use Explorer until I discovered Firefox . Firefox is much better, faster, and I haven't had half the problems I had with Explorer.

Opera is wonderful. I get faster response times with it.

FF. IE went slower on my old computer and had a few problems. Once I got add-ons set up, FF was awesome. I can even open tabs that run with a form of IE, so those annoying IE pages no longer pose a problem. Plus, FF is way more customizable.

I have Opera, IE and Firefox.
I use Firefox 99% of the time though because it's awesome.

The only thing not right with it is the ability to save your Sessions like in Opera, but it saves it automatically if you go into CTRL+Alt+Delete, Processes, then click on End Process/Process tree. And then when you come back to it latter it'll ask to restore Session and you'll still have all your tabs without making your cpu slow the whole rest of the time! ^^

But other than Firefox, Opera is good for mule accounts, and my parents mostly use IE, But I use it on occasion too.

Firefox for me ^^ Used it for the last few years, and if I need IE for a page I just use the plugin. Not tried Opera yet though

I use Firefox. It's fast working. I use it 100% of the time. Internet explorer is kinda slow and ads always come up there.

Firefox, all the time. I use the IE tab add-on for testing web layouts, though. IE killed my computer, and I ended ditching it when it actually wouldn't let me download stuff. o.0;

Back in the olden days, and I'm talking about 2000, when I was still in middle school, I used to browse the Web with Neoplanet. confused Yeah, I know I couldn't have chosen something worse than this ad-ridden piece of s**t, but hey, it had a download manager, and the skins were so ******** kickass!

Then I used IE for a year, in 2003, until I finally got my new computer. I heard something about a browser called Mozilla. The guys at CNet said it was really badass, so I thought I could give it a try.

I then switched to Firefox when the official 1.0 version was released, and then, I used Opera for a while because it's much faster than FF. Now I usually use both of them: Opera is blazing fast, but my Firefox has tons of extensions installed that look really cool and make it really functional.

However, ever since I laid my hands on Mozilla, the only times I dare touching Internet Explorer is when I have to download a Windows update, or when my dads use my computer, and that's because they just don't know how to use something besides IE. mrgreen
