Personally I recommend Firefox to everyone; it loads pages a lot faster than any other and there's a whole lot of stuff that you can do with it that you can't do with IE. For instance, YWS looks and functions a whole lot better with firefox.

My most hated, though, is Netscape. It has tabbed browsing, but other than that, I don't like it. It takes much longer to start up, and it takes longer to load pages as well. Back in the day it was the best, but it seems like they pretty much stopped supporting it a few years ago.

I use IE, mostly because its what I'm most familiar with. We do have Opera but it irritates me. Dad insists its better, but I am not convinced.

I use Firefox. Its an amazing improvement over IE.

The tabs are great, I have integrated my music player with it, there's a classy download manager, an added dictionary search, and everything loads faster. IE is a distant memory.

Firefox scares me. I use it on the main computer, but I prefer Explorer. I'm more familiar with it.

Uh...weird...MSN isn't on there so...I voted "other".

I've never heard of Firefox? Is it free, or do you have to pay for it or something. I've never used anyone of those browsers on the poll except for Internet Explorer, though.

MSN Explorer is the same as Internet Explorer. It just has integrated MSN services.

Firefox is free, yes.

I use Mozilla, but my version isn't called "Mozilla Firefox" it's just Mozilla? It's weird, but I like it.

There are browsers called Safari and Opera? Weird. I use Firefox in my engineering class usually. A alternate. At home, we only have IE. We did have Netscape on our second computer. I don't see the difference in speed between IE and Firefox at school, though.
YWS gives me carpal tunnel.

Safari is for Macs only, and Opera is kinda like IE but with some more functionality.

There's actually a whole slew of web browsers out there. Most are cheap copies of IE, but there's a few that are pretty good.

Me too. We used to have some really crappy one called InternetACE. It nearly led me away from the Internet forever. Thank God it didn't.

I use Safari, it's faster then the other browsers I use. IE kept kicking me off, and loaded slower. Maybe it's just my software...
