Just curious to know how many of you have more that one browser.
If so, Which one do you use the most?I myself have 2 which is IE and Firefox. I mostly use IE but was thinking to use Firefox more, and learn it's capabilities, I hear a lot that Firefox is way better than IE what do you think? And what Browsers out there are really good?Thanks

yeah i am using currently IE8 and Mozilla Firefox. I choose firefox as it was very light, easy to use and very very fast with almost all the features internet explorer has. Previously i used Safari too which comes from Apple corporation, they claim it as the fastest browser .. and are correct no doubt. It is actually a touch heavy but contains a lot of innovating tools too.
A week ago i installed IE8 which is much much faster than previous versions and going to continue with same.

I have IE but its never used. I use FireFox alot now because its so esy to use the add-ons but sometimes you need to be careful with the add-ons, you dont know how safe they are. I got a type of virus through add-ons from FireFox. Other than that its better than using AOL which i was before.

I have an AVG Add-on that tells me when i search pages which are safe and which have bugs or viruses or whatever, but i dont rely on it because nearly all pages come up with the green tick. I find it hard to belive all the searches i do in a day and ive only seen a red cross twice.

I keep both Firefox and internet explorer but i use Firefox 99% and use internet explorer to open only one site which does not support Firefox i guess Firefox is much more efficient and time saving and uses minimal resourced keeping the system stable and fast.

I have two browsers on my computer most of the time: one is internet explorer and one is Firefox. Sincerely, I use Firefox most of the time and leave the Explorer for those sites which have difficulty opening with Firefox..even though these sites lately are less and less present on the net. Altogether Firefox is lighter on my computer appears to open pages faster if compared to Explorer. Also,I've been told that Firefox is able to screen out some viruses that are specifically targeted at the explorer as a form of protest against the Microsoft imperialism.
Cheers

My laptop came with IE but I downloaded FireFox and Opera. FireFox has apps that you can download and use to make browsing easier. Opera allows you to temporarily turn off scripts so it is great when I am at Neopets. IE hardly ever gets used as it is slow, always freezes and is overly complicated to use. FireFox is the most user friendly, easy to use bookmarks and doesn't hog memory. You can change setting easily too.

I have IE, Firefox and Flock. I just downloaded Flock and thou it does seem to be good I find myself going back to Firefox. I like the way it is set up and the adds on it. Flock is something I will try out for a few days and see if I get the feel for it. IE is never used really.

Firefox is way better than IE. I never wanting to go to firefox as I liked the favorites menu on the left hand side, but I finally switched and it is faster, less buggy and pop us and just plain runs better. My kids quickly learned to use the bookmarks at the top of the page too so that it is easy for them as well. Sometimes certain survey sites won't work on Firefox so I still have IE on my system for that if I need it, but that is pretty rare.

I am using both Internet Explorer 7.0 and Fire fox. Though I am having both browsers, mostly I will be suing the firefox only. The main advantage is in fire fox is that we can handle multiple tabs here.Though this facility is available in IE also, we need to put little extra effort for that in IE.Also the IE is having very few add-ons only. In firefox we can restore the latest session , when we restart the browser of computer,which very useful.

I have Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3.
I only have internet explorer because it comes with windows, otherwise I wouldnt bother installing it. Personally I love firefox and all its addons, its great some great SEO addons (I do alot of SEO) and just in general it feels like a nice and smooth browser. Its also alot safer then Internet Explorer.

I have Internet Explorer 8 and Flock by Mozilla. I don't like the new internet explorer just has too many bugs in it. I like flock better than firefox because of all the features. vistors that want to use my computer have to use internet explorer because I hate when people sign me out of my sites.

Yes, i have more than one browser in my computer, I use Firefox 3.0.8 and opera 10 turbo. I just want a faster browser, i think opera 10 is the fastest browser that i have been try.When turbo enabled it very quick. For me Firefox is better than IE, it more secure,stable,fast, and use less resource than IE.

I have two. I use IE8 which I have jsut recently downloaded. The second one is Apple Saifri which I have had for over a year now and it is also recently updated. I mostyly use IE but from time to time I will use sairfi. I will use sairifi when I encounter problems with the IE. just recely I had to use sarfi to view the insight stats page on my youtube channel becase the site was haveing problesm with IE, I was stil on IE7 at he time. I also used sarifi to download pics and vids on a socil networing site. it did the tick when there was a problme with IE7, I do not have that problem now that I have donloaded IE8
