    What do you guy's use for a browser? I switched to firefox today from InternetExplorer and am ready to curse anybody that is using IE, it truly is a most horrible program.

    I haven't used Internet Explorer for a long time...

    At the moment I'm using Opera. Don't ask me why though because I don't know. Works a lot better than IE though.

    I use firefox, and netscape if the website won't allow firefos. Luckily, that isn't very often.

    On my one comp I use FireFox, but on this one due to circumstances outside of my control (meaning I haven't gotten a chance to get FireFox on it yet) I still have IE

    I've been using Firefox since early 2004. Not sure quite when, but it was version 0.8.x. I got it because IE stopped working on my computer, and I had heard some people talking about it on a forum.

    Most useful extensions I've found for Firefox.

    get Adblock https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10&application=firefox

    Tabbed Browser Preferences https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=158&application=firefox

    and Session Saver https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=436&application=firefox

    Adblock lets you right click on ads and block them

    Tabbed Browser lets you choose what happens when you middle click on windows, and Session Saver saves the windows you have open so you can close down Firefox and reopen it at the same place.



    Fasterfox works as well, but it's a bit buggy on certain pages, so I didn't list it.

    I'm using IE and I don't intend to change it.
    I tried Opera, I think, a while back, but I just couldn't get used to it.
    Force of habit, I guess...

    Opera here as well. Firefox on my laptop (Windows) where it looks and works better, but on my main PC (Linux) Opera works far better.

    I use FF with Adblock, Flashblock, FasterFox, ForecastFox, Bookmark Back up and Session Saver, PDF Downloader, and IE Tab that emulates IE in the Firefox window. It's great for those anti-FF sites.

    I recommend Well Rounded tab for FF. It puts an iTunes curve on the address bar and the google search bar.

    I use IE on my own PC but there are times when I use the Firefox on my dad's when I have no choice.
