    Firefox for all the already mentioned reasons. Its fast, light weight and if it crashes it does not take the whole system with it. Add to that now MS has released the Genuine advantage checker as a pluggin for Firefox, I no longer have to use IE for anything but MSDN.

    Firefox is my browser of choice. Unfortunately I'm stuck with IE at work - dang 'corporate security'! There's just something to be said for the ability to middle-click a link and have it open in a new tab... at work I have to try to limit myself to 2 explorer instances, otherwise it looks like I'm goofing off and not doing my job. If I had Firefox I could have 8 tabs open and it would still look like I was diong my job! ;D

    Same thing here :(
    Although I NEED alot of webpages open to do my job, so it's really a pain using IE instead of Firefox, with 8+ instances open it's annoying switching between them and I need a really thick taskbar to display them as well...

    I switched to Firefox about a year ago, because of the talk here at Short-Media. It just seems faster. Better security, and all those extensions :thumbsup:

    I've been using Opera lately the last few days now and I am finding it to be a pretty nice browser, at least as good as Firefox. Plus, it seems to me at least to be even snappier and more responsive than Firefox and I definitely get better download speeds with it on my sat broadband connection than either Firefox or IE.

    It's definitely worth trying out, since it's now free. :thumbsup:
