The 4 main ones I would say would be Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Chrome, I've used all and more. I absolutely dislike Internet Explorer, its messy and lags in my opinion. Firefox was definitely revolutionary, and as I have not played with the most recent version I could not tell you, all I know is the Add-ons for it make it very useful. Opera on the other hand has about 1 thing going for it, Speed Dial. It uses JVE (java virtual environment) instead of a Java Plug-in and I've had nothing but trouble trying to do basic things using java ie. games etc. To be honest I use and love Chrome, I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic aspect, the themes not very nice, BUT it does in fact give a much larger viewing area. It's neat and clean and simple. | My System Specs |

danieladam,
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but Opera has a lot more going for it than just it's Speed Dial. It's other unique features may not be of interest to you, or you may just not know about them, but if you are happy with Chrome, that's fine with me, but as far as viewing area, nothing is larger than Opera's full screen view. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

You're absolutely correct on the opinion thing, as for its other features, I used opera every day for well over a year, it definitely has many different tools, like it's built in torrent manager for example, I believe it has RSS built in, etc. But, out of all speed dial is the only thing that sticks out in memory, I mainly dislike it because JVE is flawed on a lot of "every day" things people do. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP DV6 1280-us OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) CPU AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-87 2.40 GHz Memory 6GB DDR2 Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 Sound Card HD Built-in Monitor(s) Displays Generic 'PnP' Screen Resolution 1366x786 Keyboard Yes Mouse Synaptics Touch-pad Case Generic.

Welcome to Windows 7 Support forums, Browsers are a matter of personal preferences how ever you must take functionality into account. To put perspective on the issue:
Browsers in 32 bit are far more general in acceptance and are more feature friendly! EG: Flash and shock function in 32 bit environment.
64 bit browsers have greater bus speeds and therefore are faster and security is greater but because they are still a novelty add ins have not been developed for them yet, a great example is Adobe Flashplayer. But Microsoft has and is developing Silverlight for next gen 64 bit browsers.
Hope that helps a bit. Regards,
Adrian
I cannot agree more on that statement. Browsers are a matter for personal preference and so it is hard to point out which is the best. For me, I may be biased towards Firefox as I use a lot of addons which firefox uses. And I am also a web developer and firefox also helps in that. I also like the security of firefox especially after using noscript. For me it will perhaps remain firefox forever but in terms of speed many users have reported Chrome and Opera to be faster than Firefox.
And from my personal experience, Firefox takes a bit longer to load for the first time but after that it is nearly as fast as Chrome or Opera. If you know the proper firefox addons you might skip many software as the addons in firefox provides several functions of at least many smaller software. I would still recommend Firefox but maybe I cannot come out of the Firefox so easily. | My System Specs | | |

Google Chrome is considered to be the best browser in speed. It is a good browser and I use it most of the time.
I'v got IE which is ok.. but not that great.
Safari is a new browser I'v downloaded, I haven't spent time testing it but it is a good one to try out.
I consider Chrome to be best and Internet Explorer = Death Fail.
Safari on glance has a similar interface to Chrome, but both are extremely different. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite C855-1GP OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz Motherboard Intel Sandy Bridge ID1E59 Memory 6GB DDR3 Dual 6034 Mbytes Graphics Card Intel HD Graphics Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays LGD033A Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz) Keyboard Normal Keyboard Mouse Techair 3D Optical Mouse Hard Drives Hitachi HTS547575A9E384 600GB Internet Speed 4.04mbps download speed 0.54mbps upload speed Other Info Awesome Laptop. |
