    Bookmark bar, StumbleUpon, fasterfox, easy tabbed browsing, middle-click open new tab thing...

    When another browser has all of that, and something better I'll convert... but Firefox is my favorite.

    I tried Google Chrome, but it won't be suitable as a day-to-day browser, simply because it doesn't have enough security under the hood.

    IE is just horrendous. Microsoft should seriously consider teaming up with Mozilla or something to include FF with windows. Then the internet will finally be good again. (Or at least accessing it lol)

    I've also tried Safari but it was wayy too slow for me compared to Firefox.

    Once a fox always a fox.

    How lame... Im a Network Administrator for a large school
    and I still use the default browsers of either Windows (Internet Explorer 7) or Mac (Safari)

    I have this shocking motto. If the OS has it in it, why bother changing.
    I still use Windows media player / iTunes
    Ms paint :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    iMovie etc

    ALTHOUGH! i do install Office 2007/8 on the machines i work on, Wordpad doenst cut it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Safari FTW.

    I used Firefox a while ago, and though it was a lot more customizable
    than Safari, there was just something missing, so I went back to Safari.

    I think that Safari will get as configurable one day, so until then
    I will just wait. They already have added stuff like movable
    tabs and such, which is nice.

    Firefox on my laptop, but we just got a new iMac so I'll see what Safari is like.

    Firefox and Safari; it depends on whether I'm using Mac or Windows.

    since about a week ago... firefox. I have always used IE7 before for some reason, even though its unreliable and slow. I then tried the google chrome, but thats even slower, freezes all the time and you just can't get all the add on's so not very good for everyday use anyway. So i thought OK i'll try firefox and... OMG i love it so much. Its fast, attractive, very customizable, easy to use, so far reliable and wat i love the most is all the add on's available, and they're all in one place. It makes it all just so much quicker. I never realised how much of a difference the browser can have to you 'experience' when on the internet!
