I have switched over to Firefox after so many problems I have faced with the nasty IE months back.Its a fantastic open source highly customised browser world has ever seen.Beutify it with themes and extensions.I dont even remember the icon of IE!!!!!!!!

Nope AOL is a complete O/S.
You'll find out should you ever try to remove it.

Well my vote was for either/or before, but have to say that now I use Firefox on all of my PCs, has a couple of disadvantages on secure sites, but otherwise is streets ahead in my opinion. :)

For those developers out there, Opera is now free with no adverts. Claims to be the quickest browser there is and lots of developer features (accessibility etc).

I use opera, netscape4.7, firefox, text only and IE - all have their pluses and minuses - mainly to do with plugin support...

but the most I use opera, then firefox, then ie, then netscape, then text only browser - when I use ie - I use a batch file to make all the registry changes that I need to make my c**p work because ie can be a pain....

netscape I only use now and again where some sites have netscape4.7 only features... - but generally only for known sites - I cannot be bothered with any site which says best viewed in " xyz " ....


netscape 4.7 has a few bugs, so it lets me know if someone has good java coding or bad....

I tried firefox, wasn't impressed with its update feature.

Plus I use some nifty plugins that only work in IE, my main one is "send to onenote powertoy" that rips the entire webpage and puts it in microsoft office onenote.
