Which do you prefer and why, or do you have a different favorite?

    Firefox it's more secure, faster I find the interface cleaner I can use it on any platform and I can't go without my pluggins.

    I used Mozilla for a long time and got sick of the crashing and changed to Opera, never really got the whole Firefox thing. I've tried it but just prefer Opera.

    I am the same way but in reverse,(minus the crashing thing) I never really got the whole Opera thing.

    With the "spell check" and the "recently closed tabs" option, I am more love with Firefox then ever.:bunny:

    Indeed I feel like I've stepped back a few years whenever I have to use IE.

    I think the IE7 interface sucks compared to FF 2. I know many average users who downloaded IE7 and just looked at the screen thinking "wtf". FF 2 looks a bit more conventional...

    I go both ways on IE and firefox. I use both depending on the computer I am on. More often than not I end up using IE 7 though just because it is more integrated into sites & windows. I've never had a site that won't work with IE but will with firefox, I've had the oppisite true quite a bit though.

    That used to be more common but I've found in recent years that there are fewer and fewer sites that don't work in FF. On the subject of non-working sites there are some sites reported that will work in IE6 but not IE7.

    I use firefox mostly, occasionally use IE, and I don't think I've used Opera since August
