We have so many choices of internet browsers nowadays ranging from Microsoft's product: internet explorer, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, etc. Having tried out some of the browsers, I figure out that the most convenient browser is Mozilla. According to my experience, it is pretty fast to display a page and load the internet server's script pretty transparent. How about you friends? Which browser do you like most and why? May be you have information regarding "unpopular" browser that I can give it a try?

My favorite browser is mozilla firefox.It is very fast and stable.It also has security updates in it.It also has themes to customize the looks.It also has tabbed browsing for easy surfing.It also has addons and plugins to enhance the features of the browser.

Hi vicky, It is my experience too for so long time. But recently, firefox disappoints me with slow connection. I cannot also access several websites which ar accessible by other browsers. I am not sure whether it is a temporary problem or will stay there permanently.

Hi masata I have both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I like the speed of Firefox so most of the time I use that only.Some sites works better with IE only.For those sites I use IE . Now I read online,that the Internet Explorer version 8 is more faster and have some improved features.Now the Beta version is available for download.So far I have not downloaded it.When the Version 8 is released,I will download it and see its performance.If its really the fastest browser,I will switch over to it. Whether it is IE or Firefox,what matters to me is the speed.So I will go with the speedy one always. Happy mylotting

May be I will give it a try the new version of IE once it is released :D. But now seems I have already felt very convenient with Firefox. Unless there is a browser with very distinguished feature with firefox, I will stay with firefox for now on and may be later.

Mine will be Safari web browser. I like this web browser because I find it quite fast and reliable than other web browsers including security issues. I don't like to use Internet web browser as it always stalls most of the time and it makes me really frustrated. So I still stick with Safari till now.

Mozilla Firefox is the best for me :D Internet Explorer is too slow on my computer, and Opera is good but it loads images weirdly. Firefox is the best out of those two, in my opinion.

In my early years of using the internet, I used to rely only on IE because that was the browser that came with Windows. But IE was also the browser many virus writers and scammers target, so for security reasons, I moved away from IE and tried Netscape instead. I also tried Opera but didn't quite like the speed I was getting. Then someone introduced me to Firefox, and since then, that browser has become my favorite over all other browsers. I like the tab browsing feature and the fast surfing offered by Firefox. The web pages load pretty quickly, and one feature I particularly like is that if my PC hangs or reboots while my browser is still open, I can restore the pages I was last surfing in Firefox without losing them the next time I start up Firefox again. I find this feature really neat and useful. I will probably stick with Firefox for the longer term.

Mozilla is great for me and for some reason it runs faster on my computer than some of the the other browsers. I also like the fact that I can track of my open tabs without having to toggle back and forth to see what I'm doing.

IE is a very flawed browser.I switched from IE to firefox years ago because I kept getting viruses from IE's flawed security issues and as soon as I switched to firefox it all stopped and I havent had an issue since.I think firefox is one of the best browsers on the market. I also liked using it because of its multiple tab ability long before IE copied it more recently and even though IE copied it, firefox's function is still superior in regards to its multiple tab function.

I like to use firefox because to me explore allows to many pop ups to go through and it just seems so slow to me.

Hi masata, My favorite used to be Firefox. But recently, I am using more of Chrome though it s*cks. I use it because Chrome is less of a memory hog.

I use mozilla firefox. It is the best for me to use. It is very user friendly and simple for the kids. We used to use internet explorer but got tons of pop ups and it ran real slow. I heard it isn't as safe as firefox too. All I know is I switched and all the problems I had went away. The only drag was getting the kids to learn about the bookmarks instead of having favorites on the left hand side.

I have had a big problem with Firefox, maybe some of you pc experts can tell me what I need to do to solve the problem. I was using FF exclusively and REALLY liked it a LOT. Somehow I think I picked up a virus or something that may have attached itself to my FF, and I had to literally remove the FF manually piece by piece from my PC. Then, when I redownloaded and reinstalled, I still cannot get the FF to run properly- i.e. it won't open, and flickers, and says that it is open, but it is not. I have tried that several times, with no luck. Can anyone tell me what I need to do differently? I am now using IE, but my preference would be FF if i could ever get it back working properly again.

I've been using mozilla for a very long time now and I find it the most convenient, the add-ons are wonderful. it hardly crashes and if it ever does it usually restore your session. I tried using chrome because they said it's the fastest browser there is but I didn't like it much. I also love that when you re-open it you are taken to the last page you were at. very convenient but sometimes can get embarrassing when you are at work at it would load to mylot. LOL

I agree to that!;)I've been using the internet for as long as I could remember and I've already tried diff kinds of browser and nothing seem to work for along period of time.So when I discovered mozilla, I enjoyed working with it.Not only that, a lot of application is compatible with this browser.So I guess everything's hussle free!;)

I like IE because I grew up w/ it and it seems normal to me. :) I tried Mozilla for a while but I had problems w/ it so I switched back. I guess its all in personal preference.
