moreover, it can open WAP sites Razz

Opera - my choice.
Every day I read news on software security. Often meet names: IE, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, but not Opera. It fast, handy, supports WAP, RSS, and new "Widgets" technology makes it even more interesting and functional.

I always disabled the "Widgets" funcion ,beacuse it`s in development stage and I don`t need it ,but it`s true that I always hear about IE bugs/security holes the most and sometimes firefox bugs/security holes ,but nothing about opera.By the way ,Opera`s "incompatibility" is just a myth ,who doesn`t believe this ,should visit this link ,I think it`s very interesting http://my.opera.com/community/dev/articles/20030206/

Mozilla FireFox, Bcoz of its user-friendly interface. I really think this is the best. Try using it. I swear, it wont disappoint you.

If you asked me, I'd say IE is user-friendly as well Wink

Yeah they didn`t even know what is tabed browsing since now ,all other browsers had this function years ago ,and that is a very user friendly feature if you aske me if the user doesn`t like a milion windows open at once if he/she is looking at a milion pages.

IE is far from user friendly ,It`s still very slow ,missing features ,and so on ... I don`t want to make an anti IE campagin Wink

I think too also, that IE is slow, the reaction time of IE is slow. IE is a bit user-friendly. But i really dont recommend using IE anymore. You should try using other browsers.

I use opera already, no need to start preaching.

But still, IE is user-friendly. It's easy to use and if tabs is what you want, it has them now. Speed is not a factor in user-friendliness, unless it's excessively slow.

Firefox simply because i can't seem to get used to the Opera UI.
Also I've run it for what seems like forever, I've gotten too used to it to switch over to Opera. That being said i think Opera is a great browser but until Firefox either becomes horrible or something else happens ill be sticking with it

I`m on the same opinion with Opera Smile ,when I upgraded my distro ,and couldn`t install opera ,It was horrible working with firefox ,to prevent missundersatinding : I think firefox is realy one of the greateest browsers ,but I`m used to opera ,because it has many unique feature ,the ones that I enjoy most is -opera remembering my sessions and the wand feature is something extraordary.
