ie was my first browser, but that is at the time when ie just beat netscape. but that time i also try opera and nescape,but some web just went wrong when i open them with non-ie browser.
Then i choose maxthon, still a browser with ie as its core.
Last month i turn to try Chrome, not because it is more powerful than ie, just because it is google and new. Then i turn to firefox,which was recommend by my collegues.
So i am now using firefox with some addons, what is your browers now? ;)

I have used several browers such as IE, MATHON, SAFARI and FIREFOX.
I like firefox very much!
Firefox can be used both under windows operation system and linux operation system.
However IE, MATHON can not be used under linux operation system.
I can't log in my hotmail account more than twice when using Safari. If I want to use the hotmail account several times I must restart safari time and time again. It is rather inconvinient.

At first I used Internet Explorer. After a while I encountered a problem with it and many times virus attacked my computer and it had to be reformatted. Each time my computer is reformatted I had to spend money because I don't know how to do it myself. I had to pay the technician to do it for me.
After that one day a friend from mylot told me about Mozilla Firefox and I started using it. I found out that it is a better browser than Internet Explorer and I can do my work easily and quicker. So I switched to use Mozilla Firefox. However I still keep Internet Explorer as a second browser just in case if the Mozilla Firefox suddenly had problems, I would still have a backup browser.

It seems like you have done your research on which browser works the best. I know that I have tired IE and then FireFox. Now for a while firefox worked fine. Then all of a sudden it just started acting funny and then I had to uninstall it. Later on i found this one called Flock which override my IE an it worked fine. But I really didn't use it that much and deleted and then had to go back to using the IE.
Now I also have Chrome and it works fine but then there are times that some sites don't come up for me and I have to switch back and forth to chrome and firefox. For certain sites that chrome won't pull up. Yet chrome works will but I can't seem to set it for my default. Which is strange that I have to use both of them some times. Now I have not tried Maxthon or safari and they were some I just found looking around.
I might give them a try. Yet netscape is one that I have not tried either. So right now I need to reinstall Flock cause it override my IE and I like that better than IE.

I use IE for my internet paid gaming. Mozilla doesn't support the games too well. It shuts down. The rest of the time I use Mozilla.

I am using Mozilla Firefox now, before I'm using IE but that when I didn't yet use Mozilla. Now, I perfectly content with my browser, though I still updated my IE and use it once in a while, I still prefer Firefox, I'm used with it. And quite like the add-ons features and can manage as well my search engines.

Hi,
I used to use IE before but it kept getting stuck and it was too slow for my liking so I shifted to Firefox.It is better than IE,at least it doesn't get stuck and its not as slow as IE,for me.I like Firefox,apparently its more secure also.

I use Firefox and I love it. I have a Mac now so I can't use Internet Explorer anymore, but I used to have a windows laptop only about two-three months ago and found IE significantly slower than Firefox. I really couldn't stand IE, bleah. Always been an FF fan, always will be.

i used ie and safari before. safari is much faster than ie, but it isn't compatible with many websites. now i'm using firefox. firefox is also faster than ie, and it is also compatible with many websites, though there are also some other sites which are "stubborn" and insist you use ie for optimum performance.

Mozilla Firefox for the last two years~. I always used Internet Explorer before that, as there weren't any well-supported alternatives. Now many websites are being made to work with Firefox before Internet Explorer, which is remarkable given the Microsoft dominated world of computers. I'm enjoying the break away from Microsoft, even if it is a small rebellion. I do still use Windows XP, but if they continue to churn out garbage like Vista, I will be loading up linux.

Ever since I started using Firefox (three years ago), I could not switch to any other browser, although I tried every other browser including IE, Safari, Chrome, Avant and a lot others.
