:shock:
Have you ever seen a Linux? 
Nope… whats a linux?
You don’t know what Linux is!
I use Firefox, and when that’s not meet expectations, Opera. IE as a last resort. (I need my tabs!)
Firefox! Don’t click on the blue E! Linux is a penguin. (Joking)
Its really an operating system.
erm… do you lot come with subtitles?
IE7 is quite nice and much more secure than IE6 and of course it has tabs.
It’s not my main browser though. Firefox is currently the fastest browser I have since it is sooooo tweakable through about:config - plenty of plugins, they only thing I like from Opera was the “paste & Go” feature, so I got the firefox extention that adds the same thing 
Opera is my backup browser.
I have IE7 for backup, since it has tabs now it’s not too bad, but it has issues with text on pages, stupid beta.
I also have the stand alone Firebird browser as an emergency browser. For those who don’t know, Firebird was the old Firefox name, long before it was popular with the masses and because it’s stand alone it doesn’t need installing so you can run it from a disk 
Umm… translation please?
Read a few tech sites like www.xtremesystems.org. These sites will give you an understanding of how a computer works, what makes it fast and how to build one yourself.
As for software, Google “Ubuntu” and take a look at that. It’s is a complete operating system, like Windows, but free. It’s based on Linux. You have to understand Linux isn’t really a program in itself, but a standard specification for the OS. Think of it like foundation on which you can build any type of structure. The foundation is provided freely as the “Linux kernal”, and people build up from there resulting in OS packages like Ubuntu.
You might also want to look at www.openoffice.org. It’s an entire document editing and management suite, just like Microsoft Office. Instead of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Access you have Write, Calc, Impress, Draw and Base. There are some other useful programs too, like a math equation editor. It’s good quality too. For one, the entire French government is converting to it. Like Ubuntu, it’s again entirely free.
Both of these are open source and free programs. “Open source” means that all the code and documentation is available for free, so you can change and rebuild the program as much as you want. Firefox/Mozilla are the same. Compare this to Windows, you arn’t allowed to even know how it’s internals work, nevermind looking at the code! One is free and open, the other it’s not. It’s pretty simple.
Also, I’m recommending one type over the other. You have to use your rational judgement to decide for yourself what meets your needs. It doesn’t hurt to try new things though.
firefox for me… i like safari best though on a mac
but i dont have one anymore someone stole it… =(
I use Firefox. I keep IE as a backup, in case there’s a site that I NEED to see that won’t work in Firefox.
I’m also running Windows 2000 right now 
, because I’m having trouble getting my network card to run in Ubuntu, and don’t have the time to fix it.
I’ve been browsing the web since 96 or 97 and gone through so many browsers, early navigator/opera/IE, lynx/links/elinks, firefox and newer IE/Opera… 
So which browser am I using today, Opera. I wont use IE for several reasons, and although firefox is nice and feels good to use it has some speed issues on certain areas (slightly evident on “back/forward”, very evident in beginning of file downloads…)
So, Go Opera! 
I used to use Internet Explorer but after trying out FireFox I’ll never go back. With all the tabs, and extensions, like Stumble Upon, I am now a 100% Firefox Junkie. Never tried Opera but I think I’ll stick to FireFox
Firefox is definitely a great browser, and has many more features than IE6. But for the sake of bringing people back down to Earth for a moment, it’s certainly not the second coming of Jesus in software form as a lot of people will have you think. Firefox is actually one of the least efficient browsers available, in terms of memory usage and loading times. It has vulnerabilities just like everything else (including 2 critical flaws that have been unfixed as of 2004), and seems to crash just as often if not more so than IE.
Check out Firefox Myths for more info. The movement of dedicated individuals praising FF as the greatest browser on the planet are in actuality just fanatics who are unwilling to compare these applications on an equal playing field.
Initially, part of FF’s apparent security was merely the result of its obscurity in the browser market. Fewer people used it, so fewer hackers wrote exploits for it. This doesn’t mean the code was more stable and more secure than IE’s. Now that FF has reached 10% of the public, we’re starting to see a lot of very serious flaws with it. To all FF users, notice how the browser is updating itself every other day now? Yeah… there’s a lot that suddenly needs fixing.
All independent studies invariably arrive at the conclusion that Opera is the best all-round browser. It’s much faster, uses less memory, is typically more stable, is much more secure, and by default includes many of the features that FF makes available through plug-ins. It even supports Torrent downloads natively. And, best of all, it’s now 100% free (as opposed to being ad-supported, as previous versions were).
Don’t get me wrong, though. I still use Firefox, simply because that’s what I’m used to. I have Opera installed as well, but I find I’m just not familiar enough with its interface, history system, bookmark system and general behaviour, so it’s much easier for me to continue using FF. I just wanted to point out that this is a deeper issue than a lot of people would have you believe, and Firefox, while a very adequate browser, certainly does have its fair share of faults.
So Opera is also the fastest one, besides the best one?
Then I have NOTHING to worry about! 
EDIT: I forgot to mention the unlimited simultaneous downloads allowed by Opera against the maximum of 2 supported by IE.
I also forgot to mention widgets! What are they? They can be anything. Really.
Opera has 0 unpatched areas, and 0 security holes, while IE has 18 of them.
That is…0 that you know of. There may be some yet to be discovered, but it still shows it is much more secure than IE.
Found that 0 on Firefox Myths and on a widget. 0 that you know of, other browsers have dozens that they know of.
Yeah, Opera’s safer.
Opera FTW!
As of now, I’m currently posting this from a gasp Opera browser. I never said that I though FireFox was the greatest browser ever, just that I used it. After seeing all of you go on about the greatness of Opera, I had to give it a try myself. 
It’s a very nice browser, and also noticably faster than FF.
Go Opera! 
[BB edit]I also noticed that size one print is now visable without copy/pasting! That takes away from the mystery. [/BB edit]
If you can’t read this, you’re not using Opera!
Check out some widgets then 
(V9.0+). (Widgets > Add Widgets…)
Has anybody tried the beta of FireFox 2.0? It has a few new features, including a built-in spell checker.
