I'm an O.G Firefox user (0.8?) but it ****es me off sometimes, especially with the memory hogging issues. I really like Opera too, it's awesome, but I just can't use it for longer than 10 minutes without wanting to go back to memory hungry Firefox P(

On Windows and Linux it's Firefox, but I voted Opera since on my main (Mac) I use Opera. It's just nice since it has email and a browser that works well, I like it better than anything else available for Mac, at the moment until Shiira comes out of beta then maybe I'll be switching.

IE 7 with IE7 Pro add-on

Seriously, all these people that rip IE all the time... I have always used IE right from the very beginning of its time. I have NEVER had any mal-ware or ad-ware on my computer. A little sensibility is all that you need and you are home free!

I used to be Firefox only -- Since it was Firebird, actually....but I've recently decided to give IE7 a better chance. It just looks so much better than Firefox in Vista. And every time I use something that doesn't work in Firefox, I get ****ed. I mean, what doesn't work in IE? Everything works in IE. Coupled with Protected Mode....Ugh, I sound like a promotional website.

Main browser: Firefox,

Don't care if it's the best, it's enough secure and the interface is hyper customizable (Can change everything if you want) and I like it.

For me, after the security and support (ie: PNG, CSS and what IE6 don't do :p) the UI is the most important factor.

On Vista I stick with IE7 for now to hard-test it but I don't think it will still there. Still, it's not a bad browser, it's incredible what they have done from IE6. But the lack of customization kill it for my use.

Opera is really great, but I just hate the Interface and how it work :pinch:

Maxthon 2.0 Beta have good chances, in overall I like it, but I would love if they would move to Gecko engine over Trident...

I used IE6 religiously until someone introduced me to Firefox back when 1.0 was released.

I didnt like Firefox at first, but I loved it after a while. I try Opera every now and again when new versions come out, but its just so annoying. Its slower than firefox and only works with 60% of my regularly visited sites.

Since I got Vista, i'm now alternating between IE7 and Firefox. I love IE7 :wub:

For the big part I use Fire Fox because it's simply the best, i have also IE7 and Opera and I use them rarely because that depends on the site i'm visiting, for example for arabic character encoding IE7 is better than all of the others, but in matter of browsing and security, FF is the best, well that's my opinion of course!! :)

ive got most installed but i usually use IE7 or Opera

although lately ive been trying out Maxthon again & Theworld.

small fast and secure Maxthons a keeper :)

Tested the memory footprint on all browsers viewing the same page as a matter of fact today and was pleasently surprised.

biggest was Firefox followed by IE7 then opera,theworld & maxthon.

FF & IE are just tooo bloated IMHO

in linux i run Opera or Konqueror

at the end of the day its horses for courses and i just dont rate FF that highly or IE7 for that matter, i dont lose sleep over what browser is better got better things to spend brain hours on ;)

For a long time I used avant, then myie2 got better than it so I finally fully switched to it in windows while using konqueror in linux. MyIE2 turned into Maxthon, and I still solely use it in windows, which I later switched to firefox in linux. I'm now using opera in linux. It's closer to maxthon in terms of use and really, I like maxthon. I wish there was a linux version...

    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
