I like Mozzila for the pop up blocker, and the slime line nav bar etc, but sometimes it does do strange things to websites, and I think to myself, why am I using it. But 9 times out of 10, its fine.

After being a IE user for 4ish/5 years, the other day i finally got FireFox, because IE seemed to be going really slow ever since i updated it with that critical patch, but i have to say after nearly 3 days of firefox use, i dont miss it at all! I still voted IE though because i used it more then firefox, but i just love firefox to bits, the fact that you can download extensions, have window tabs so you dont have to have thousands of windows open, the themes is a great idea too, and theres so much to customize i really love it! I would reconmend it to anyone who asked, though i took Mobes advice and kept ie, but i dont relly want to use it unless i really have to, firefox gets a 10/10 for me, IE still gets a good ol 7 but only because we have seen some good times together <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... #>/wub.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wub:\' /> I just hope, if and when IE7 comes out that its alot more user friendly in some divisions and people stop finding bloody exploits in which i have to download patchs for <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... iggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

[color=\"green\"]i pretty much always use Mozilla...sometimes i will go into firefox, i find it loads pages a bit quicker...and if im working with anything to do with css, or viewing css..ill view with IE...but thats pretty much the only time that IE gets opened. i pick Mozilla [/color]

I picked firefox because of
- tabbed browsing
- standard compiance
- popup blockers
- security
- + many other features

I still use IE occasionally because most sites are designed with IE in mind - and IE does not support standards. Most people who use Firefox for a few days will never go back, it has everything IE has + a lot more.

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Firefox user here too, i chose it for security, the loading times are alot faster than IE (you notice that on dialup) and it tends to handle most stuff better. The extensions are a plus too.

I use IE for some of those sites that dont agree with firefox, and i use IE for visiting MSN Groups, of which im an active member of quite a few (8 to be exact) because MSN decided to code into their groups sites that if your using IE they give you the text editing bar at the top of the "Post messages" thing, but with other browsers you can only post in plain black and white arial, and you cant add images hosted off site and stuff, because you cant actually POST images without using the "Add File" thing"

That would be my view on it all, lol. take it or leave it =D.

(sorry, im no good at ending my posts today) [/b][/i][/color][/font]

[font=\"Courier\"][color=\"purple\"]I had to vote "other" for this, as I use my linux browsers most often, (yea I know mozilla is one of them, but I prefer others)

I have yet to have a single problem with them, no crashes, even with huge pages, they load up (not loading pages, just loading the program) almost instantly.[/color][/font]
