I use a customized version of Firefox 3, faster and better looking then the original. Safer to browse with too.

I still like firefox, but my friend Christine recently told me to download opera <3 I love it :D

Opera is good, but not as fast as Firefox is. Firefox is easy to customize with about:config. I have no idea what Opera uses as a replacement for that, but apparently its nowhere near as easy to tune up.

I've been using IE ever since I got this computer and I have everything I need for it. I don't get anything like security holes. IE works GREAT for me. Are you all just saying this because you've never even tried it?

I have FF. I have IE7, but I hate it. I use it off and on, but its always down and/or slow. And I just like the Fox a lot more. I don't hate IE, I just prefer Firefox. I'm thinking about trying out that new browser Google created though. Looks interesting.

I used to use it all the time, I never even heard of firefox, then my sister told me to download it... I did, and it was just 10000x times better/faster.
Whenever I try and load IE on this computer it freezes for some reason.

I have Avant. Personally I think FF is a piece of shit. It's slow on my PC.. I don't like the way it works and it looks afwul (I'm not downloading themes for it, the program should look decent with out them).
Avant is very good to use, you can control everything by mouse gestures, it's very good.

You can control everything with mouse gestures on Fox too, you just have to use an addon.
Anyone thats too lazy/stubborn to download addons is missing out on a great browser imho.

I've heard that Google Chrome is very good. I might download it soon, but right now, I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Ive used IE and Avant, IE was terrible for me, Avant was excellent. But I didn't have enough room to keep them all (Firefox, IE, Avant). I took away Avant and Im going fast.

I've set Google Chrome as my default browser on my comp,but somehow my mouse just keeps going back to click the Firefox icon. I was born and bred on Firefox.
Opera seemed okay for me, but it ran funky for me. And I hate IE with heart and sole. I got a virus from using it the first day I used it. And then the minute I open it a couple of months ago I get an IE Antivirus virus. And then somehow all these toolbars keep popping up from nowhere, and it's not as cool as Firefox, and I just hate it.
Anyway, Google Chrome and FF for me.

I pretty much used Opera for everything until I got Chrome. You should get it as soon as you can; it has a lot of awesome developer features such as the Element Inspector, which maps out a page's source (including styles from the style sheet!) and the JavaScript console and debugger.

I use Firefox. I used to use IE and I was happy with it... until I got a new computer and the newer version. About 5 minutes into my IE session my computer would freeze up. After that I asked my friend which browser I should change to and he replied "Firefox". So I downloaded and I'm in love with it. I think I started using Firefox 3 years ago. Now every time I go back to IE for some reason it always feels clunky, boxy, and slow. Firefox for ever!

I use the latest version of Firefox. It has never stopped responding (except that one time xD) And if i has not all the features of Google chrome then you can very likely get that feature in a ad on and plus i like the looks better on Firefox. And i hate Internet Explorer i hate everything about it the looks and how it preforms the only thing i have used it for the last 3 years is to download firefox :D .

i hate Explorer, but i use it anyways, because ive been using it since i was 6, and because its easy for me to use, but its slow! i like firefox, its not slow.
Explorer is like an average day in toronto: i got shot in the spleen twice today in a gang war.
Firefox is like an old man standing in front of 40,000 people with a shotgun, and nobody gets nervous.

I don't watch a lot of pokemon... :P
I watched a bit of Digimon back when it was actually on, but I didn't pay attention to the names.
I definitely didn't get into the nonsensical card trading. :P
And, it depends on your definition of the word. Personally, I don't use that term to describe myself.

I use Chrome mostly in hopes that it will improve to become one of the best browsers out there. Though when I'm not on Chrome, I'm on Avant Browser.
Hmmm... We've had several threads about this in the past >_>

Chrome will look excellent on windows 7 if you can customise the bar from like blue to carbon etc.

I use Opera. 9.62 right now. The 10 Alpha version is too unstable. I love the guestures though. And widgets are helpful sometime.
Plus, it's extremely fast and secure. Love it :)

I was a long-term firefox user. After chrome was announced, I switched to it. Haven't looked back. Simple UI, efficient, fast.
And the tab pulling is nifty.
