Firefox and Opera rules!

They are the fastest and most secure navigators.

IE accepts more HTML and JavaScript codes, but it has a lot of bugs and it is too slow.

My Favorite Navigator its Firefox...

Safe, Fast and OpenSource...

IE Suckz, Internet Explorer is perfect for Spywares/Keyloggers Confused
The box said "Requires M$ Windows or better." So I installed LINUX.

Opera normally, but firefox a little as of late due to stablity issues on my computer. On Unix, I also use Dillo.

At some other forums im with we have this same argument. Mostly, its IE vs FF though. It usally ends in "look at this small bug that was found in FF today", or "IE is bad because it is". People don't usally seem to have a valid reason for chosing one over the other. For me though, its Firefox. Firefox is a nice easy to use, stable and, amongst other things, very customisable browser.

My top three valid reasons for not using IE:
a) It's slow.
b) It does not comply with web standards.
c) Multiple exploits.

Throw in unstable and uncustomizable and you're good for enough valid reasons to cripple IE users?

I use FireFox because it is less vulnerable to the virus and other malwares

I use Firefox for my general browsing, but still have to use IE for certain things such as checking my hotmail account...

Um.. you can check your hotmail on Firefox also...So you don't have to use Internet Explorer. There is nothing that microblows Internet Explorer can do that Mozilla's Firefox can't do.

I am using the new hotmail though, 'windows live mail'. When I load it with firefox it says that other browsers aren't yet supported but should be soon (has said that for a few months).

@ Slabby:

I use firefox and windows live mail works fine for me. It's actually that microsoft hasn't finished developing it really. Wink
