While the latest version of IE is much better than the previous one, it still drives me up the wall. I've never really liked IE, I was a Netscape user before Firefox came along. Nowadays it's Firefox all the way for me.

Well I started from IE, went to FF and now also use Opera.
I like Opera for several reasons, but FF still beats it because of all those extensions.

Latest Opera is nice, but some things are crapy and just for show off like the torrent and voice capabilities.

With FF and its extensions I have basicaly everything I want from the Opera minus loading speed.

Opera, easier to use than Firefox, just as safe and does everything I need a browser to do better than Firefox.

I love my Firefox! It has all the plug-ins I need for my job as well as for my personal lifestyle. I like opera but in some forums it acts weird so I stopped using it. IE can suck my balls! Safari? don't own a mac so no point.

I used to use IE6. Then I changed to Firefox. I tried Opera before and after it became free. It's almost as good as FF but I couldn't find AdBlock+ (or similar) for Opera so I almost always use FF. IE7 is just garbage compared to these two.

I actually found FF to be easier to use.

That's one of my problems with Opera, tough it has improved in the last 5/ 6 years.
... and it still has rendering issues.

For Firefox to load it faster and load page faster you need Preload, FasterFox and ocasionally Google Web Accelerator.

And I don't know anything about such add ons, and I find Opera to work faster than FF.

That's super strenght of FF, being open source, it has all sorts of addons.
That makes it the greatest browser IMO.

It will equall almost everything Opera has to offer (minus mail, actual zoom and voice) and then surpass it.

Such as:
- AIOS (= sidebar, even has Opera behavour)
- Add Bookmark Here
- ImgLikeOpera
- Image Zoom (not as good tough)
- Mouse Gestures (you can make your own)
- Rewind/Fast Forward Buttons
- Stop-or-Reload Button
- ScrapBook
- Secure Login (=Wand)
- Past and Go 2
- User Agent Switcher
- Wizz RSS News Reader
- Web Tab Mix (customise tabbar to your heart's delight)

And ofcourse than comes the AdBlock, NoScript and FlashBlock brigade.


But I like Opera too.
Because of Mozilla, Opera is now free and has widgets, and "opera:config" and is more easy to use.
Also Opera camed with the tabs, and many, many other features now available on FF and IE.
