My favorite web browser is Firefox. There are all kinds of add ons plus it's like ten times faster than Internet Explorer with only one tenth of the bugs. Other browsers I have used in the past include Netscape, MyIE and Google's Chrome. Chrome is ultra fast and would be my fav but it has too many compatibility issues. What are some browsers you use and have you found anything you think is better than Firefox?

Safari by apple. It's a little slower than some of the other browsers but it's got tabs & spellcheck which I find really helpful.

And it's FREE! And also it looks nice, all the little boxes have curvy edges instead of pointy (it's all in the detail)

I used Microsoft Internet Explorer for a long time. I also tried Opera. Aside from these two, I never tried any other browsers except Mozilla Firefox. I love Firefox very much because of its speed and security.

I mainly use Opera, though on some sites I have to use I.E. I have firefox for one site only, as no other browser works there properly.

Currently I'm using Firefox, it's quite fast but sometimes it just consume too much memory that it lag my computer and piss me off. Opera and Chrome are both faster, but not reliable yet. Last time I use Chrome, it didn't support flash yet (maybe it's a beta version) and for Opera, it failed to load some flash games. So until they're fixed, I'm gonna stuck with this bloody fox. :P

I like using Firefox. I have heard that it's safer. Besides, it runs faster than IE in my opinion. And I don't have to look for many pop-up windows. The tag is very useful. And I also have some add-ons in my Firefox so that it really works better.
I love China

I like Firefox, all the time. It is my most favorite browsers. I also like the Mac Safari but I don't have a MAC, so I sometimes use the Windows version of Safari.
IE is the worst browser I have every used. I don't know why it is still there on my machine but since I am a web designer, I have to live with it.
Thanks

Firefox is good. I also like Opera. Its light on the PC. The View-images-no images option is useful especially if you don't want to download pages loaded with images thus saving on your downlaods. I don't like the Accept and install option of chrome. So I have not tried chrome and will not try it until they allow us to download the installation file like other web browsers.

I am using the firefox as a web browser but here is a better web browser. It is called safari. It is from the apple company and it is really fast. I think the internet explorer is a riskware because it download alot of viruses. My friend told me that so I never use the internet explorer. I would suggest you try safari. Just search in yahoo and type safari web browser. It is rally cool. Try it!

I just use the Internet explorer. I don't use other browsers especially that I am not so familiar with it.
I don't want to keep on adding something to my laptop because I'm afraid it won't work well for me.

I always use firefox from mozilla as my favourite browser in my pc. I think the most I like from firefox is we can open new tab in one window. I think IE 7.0 already have this one too. but I prefer use Firefox. For my Cellphone, I always use opera mini 4.1. Opera mini have good view which we can minimize and maximize screen view and I think opera quite compatible with all kind cellphone. they provides all kinds cellphone link for download free opera mini.

Firefox 3.1b is faster than Chrome.
Chrome is beautiful and very functional although it still lacks support for certain everyday things I want to do (like FedEx shipping)
Opera is nice and lightweight but something about it bugs me :P
Internet Explorer I wont even comment :D
Right now I use Ice Weasel, its an open source 100% FREE web browser, very similar to Firefox (but without the proprietary software :)) It ha some improved security features and just works great!
