Best browser for windows 7 (64 bit )

thanks Dave :-)

one thing that kinda sux is I'm finding that neither Opera nor Chrome display Microsoft-based (ActiveX) pages correctly.

MS has been known not to play nicely with others, but they're getting better.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing IE9, I tried the latest platform review and it's quite fast.
Will see what the rest looks like next week.

Don't think it will change my current fav.

Originally I used IE and then I found Firefox which gave me an appreciation for superior speed. And then about 6 months later I discovered the Opera browser and I've been using it ever since for its amazing speed and its many features like Speed Dial.

There is no x64 Flash yet, so if you plan on watching YouTube or going to a lot of different sites that use Flash, you can only use 32bit Browsers, also Addons don't work for 64bit Firefox.

My recommendation
Firefox 3.whatever we're on now

Just a short note to Gornot, how arrogant you are...there are no stupid questions, and it is a perfectly legitimate question to ask! My desktop continually freezes when using IE9 so I use chrome.

The only stupid question is the one you do not ask, and if you consider a question to be beneath you....well don't reply to it!

Muralikrishna, keep asking questions as that is the whole point behind having the forum.

Why moan about a post someone made 3 years ago that's stupid & he did give good advice which is try them yourself & form your own opinion.
