[Belsameth]

IE. I am teh lazy

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

Mozilla.

When using irc, IE is just too risky ;o

 

[klavrynd]

firebird

 

[old.tRoG]

Mozilla 1.5

Tabs, security, popups, the list goes on.

Mozilla r0xx0rz y00r s0xx0rz.

*Oh, and going back to any non tabbed browser after using one with the feature is hell*

 

[old.Xarr]

what bels said

 

[-Nxs-]

Mozilla 1.5

Tab browsing - popup blocker - and above all, safer than IE by miles, loads of these britney.jpg virus things floating around IRC - and none affect mozilla

 

[Coim-]

Mozilla. For the reasons mentioned above.

IE for the same reason as everyone else ^^

 

[Mid - Kirinia]

I use IE, as I wouldn't have a clue where to get any other browser anyway

 

[Jonaldo]

IE here, not found anything wrong with it nor had any problems.

Mozilla,browsing websites is now sheer bliss as all the pop-ups are now non-existent.

 

[BlitheringIdiot]

Thanks to this thread, Im now browsing with Mozilla, finally got around to switching...

...and I hate it

I havent 'got to know' the browser yet so I dont know of the apparantly fantastic features it has, I just hate the general interface and feel. And why is this box that I'm typing this in really small (in width)? Also I've got to remember all my passwords for things all over again.

IE cos mozilla is teh sux. Google toolbar kills popups anyway.

 

[[PS]Riddler]

Whats tabbed browsing?

 

[lakih]

Im using IE, cant be arsed to switch... and besides, it came with the OS

 

[SFXman]

I use Mozilla Firebird.
The tab system rocks, a bit better in Mozilla 1.x imho, maybe latest Mozilla has this slight change in tab systems as well... don't know.
Firebird is faster than Mozilla and you can get a fast mail program called Thunderbird for it.
I don't have to rely on constant security updates from Microsoft.

 

[Sibanac]

Firebird and mozilla

no popups, almost no banners, no spy cookies, no large security holes and Tabbed browsing !

 

[Danya]

Mozilla probably has security holes, they're just less well documented.

 

[bulge]

Opera atm, have just downloaded Mozilla for a peek

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

Switched to firebird, I like it

 

[old.LandShark]

My USB pendrive is with me always.
My USB pendrive holds a copy of mozilla firebird.
I am a geek

He has a point though, few exploits will occur against Mozilla whilst there are probably hundreds of IE users for every one Firebird user.

(yeah, so I pulled a random statistic out of my arse )

Opera. It's too comfy to miss on it. Mouse gestures, tabbed browsing, easy navigation with keyboard shortcuts, EVERY option in the browser has a hotkey, lots of skins to choose from, comes with Java env.

Need I say more ?

 

[kr0n]

Opera.
