I don't use any of them. IE7, Firefox, Opera never used them. For a very long time now I've been using Maxthon. It's a IE clone but with some extras like tabbed browsing (long before IE had that), different skins, ad-blocker and a few more thingies. It's free and it's fast.

Crash ;)

I just wish the people who made these silly polls;
a) checked the forums for existing copies of the same polls.
b) posted them in the correct forum.

I need a cup of tea :)

Safe enough. Never had any problems with hackers or what have you more. I have a separate firewall installed (ZoneAlarm) which blocks all intrusions.

IE7 is worse on the resources.

also the nice thing about FF2 is the crash recovery.if firefox closes without u askign it to, when u start it up next time it will ask u if you want to restore the session. very nice feature :D

IE7 has holes in it, and liek vista, i wnt be touching it totaly until a service pack is out

Personally, I feel Firefox is much better, there are so many more options available, so many plug-ins and skins, and so many functions that are just above and beyond what IE can provide. If anything IE7 has made me MORE confident that I don't want to return to IE, the fact that they have just cottoned on to tabbed browsing just shows how slow they are to pick-up things that really makes a difference to how people surf the web.

I use Mozilla Firefox for the reasons BAW stated.... ;)...!
Lots of useful add-ons; Spell Checkers, Dictionaries, Language conversions, Cups of Coffee on demand, etc...

I never liked using IE for posting on (HTML) Forums. Always had problems with editing completed text.
Add-on Smilies always insisted on being placed at the end of the finished text. The "Edit" cursor never worked as expected...!!

Paul...A Foxy character... ;)...!
Win 8.1 64-bit. DX11. Advent Tower. Intel i7-3770 3.9 GHz 8-core. 8 GB System RAM. AMD Radeon HD 7700 1GB RAM. DVD ROM. 2 Terra Byte SATA Hard Drive. Philips 17" LCD Monitor. Saitek Cyborg X Fly-5 Joystick. ...and a Briggs and Stratton Petrol Lawn Mower.

I use IE7. I find some websites work better on it.  Those with flash, etc.
