Please post reasons for your choice.

the extra tabs are so useful, no need to crowd your toolbar

[Zorbon]

i tend to use mozilla(not firefox) and opera

both in windows and linux.

lynx is cool too, but i use that only when me and my dad split his 56k

I agree, one thing that really annoys me in XP is where you have tons of windows and it stacks them up on the start bar. It means more clicking and more wasting of time.

The Mozilla suite looks good but I have no need for all the extras. I use gmail and don't have a use for an email client.

I use Netscape. It can switch between IE based and Firefox based.

I'm a Firefox/Opera user myself. It isn't so much for the extras, more that the programs are more stable than Internet Explorer.

Personally I have a problem with all the browsers, but Opera is probably my favorite, as it has the best memory management, most options, can sit in the tray, has the best mail client (Beats thunderbird by... A lot :p), and its just really nice.

Get the Internet Explorer 7 BETA2 Preview here (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx) if you havent already got it.

The current beta UI imo is really horrible but i'm guessing that that will change when it is released.

It also seems to be alot slower than Firefox, I don't use IE anyway so I don't know how it is compared with v6.

[Telsist]

Opera.

[Storm]

I use both Firefox and IE. don't feel the need to have some extra special (or minimalistic) browser. Both work fine viewing pages...

Yes Opera surely is the one for memory management. Great if your one of those people that over-ALT+F4 or like to click close rapidly. Opera wins there for sure.

But im a firefox man. Dont really know why, but it seems to be more stable, with a few extra features and is skin-compatable. B-E-A-utiful!

[ojwk]

Hmmm yes Firefox seems too have that 'X factor'

[uzshka]

the cute-fox-on-logo factor that is, its why girls use firefox

I came across this website http://toastytech.com/evil/index.html on my travels. Its quite funny actually, its about 8 years old so when I came across this it made me laugh "In my opinion, (and I realize most people will disagree), the Internet as we know it currently is just a fad."
He has also made some buttons here (http://toastytech.com/evil/buttons.html).

I use opera, i just love the fact i can close it and it will open right were i left off, that is deff. a plus,

I used to use firefox, but latley i stops responding to me for some reason, and i hafto close it...it got to be too much of hassle becuase again unlike opera i had to start my surfing from the begining XD.

So opera gets my vote.

[uzshka]

hmm... this opera sounds pretty good, i think ill give a try sooner or later

[BigE]

firefox, the layout and the speed is much better. It's just an added bonus that my computer is cluttered with spyware after using it to.

[Ogami_Daigoro]

I actually use Safari. Macs ftw! But it doesn't display all websites properly. When that happens I use Firefox (until Camino has had more work done to it. Then I'll switch to Camino full time)
