the new IE is much better (looks so cool!) and more stable than firefox. firefox has the tendency for me to crash.. and it takes a long time to come back. its handling of pdfs are horrible. but then, i've grown used to it... so i voted firefox.

Never used any of the others, and the new IE is quite good. Finally it's been able to stop that one popup that gets through everytime I visit www.ebaumsworld.com

Firefox for me. 

When I was learning html we were encouraged not to use IE to test our pages.  IE cheats when it comes to reading the html code and sort of interprets it and does what it thinks would look better.  You may not be seeing exactly what the HTML author actually wrote.

Didn't realize Firefox 2 was out already.  Thanks for the tip jre. 

Just downloaded it.  Now I have inline spell checking in the reply box.  Sweet.

I use Safari. I may be in the minority here but I like it better than Firefox.

What's opera like? It's come out on the Nintendo DS and will be on the Wii when it gets released, so I'm just wondering if it's any good/easy to use.

I use "Ideal Browser" from www.idealbrowser.com because the webpage loading time are shortened by 50% - 70% and even more on the pages with heavy graphic user interfaces and Java scripts.

Yep, me too!  Seems to work very well since it is integrated with the OS.  I switched from Thunderbird to Mac Mail as well.

Netscape 4.8 (sometimes also 8.x, but I prefer 4.8).
I also use Netscape as my e-mail client.

Another cool browser is Avant Browser at https://www.avantbrowser.com

MS IE sucks big time.
