I prefer Pheonix

unfortunately i have to visit some sites which require digital right managment (DRM) of windows media player and only with IE6 or alternatives with IE-engine i can go to those sites.

you see how M$ forces users to stick to IE........

pheonix because it is quite simply the fastest browser out there. i don't believe u can use download accelerator with it but with broadband there is not much need for it. and the built in download manager for pheonix is good enough anyway. i would suggest just trying a few out urself though, these things tend to be a matter of personal preferance

You must not have been using broadband for very long or at least not downloading big files (ie. a linux distro). I don't use download managers as often as I use to on dial up (not that I can remember when I had it anyway, it's been years) but I still use them. Another note: It won't really matter what browser you are using if your cable service is fast enough. Sure Firebird (or whatever they are calling it now) is fast but it isn't that much faster than IE so it really all comes down to user preference. What do I use? MyIE2 (... and why wasn't that an option in the poll?).

:p i've had cable for 3 years. and yes, i do download big files. but i find the pheonix download manager to be good enough. i used to use flashget but now find it useless. and pheonix does make a HUGE difference. it renders pages a lot faster than ie, at least for me
