a month ago I used: IE7&8, Firefox,Chrome, opera, and Safari to compare

I was sold on Firefox, yet still like Chrome. I use Chrome on my desktop and Firefox on my laptop. Laptop is used mostly for Web browsing and email, and firefox's add-ons are very nice.

That said. I have tried Safari 4 and think the speed has been greatly increased. The eye candy is also nice, but I think it's kinda of Chrome like. (rip-off)

Even that said, I have tried the latest Firefox Beta, and I'm again convinced that firefox is my favorite WB.

Well, to be fair, Chrome ripped off of like, everything XD. But they did some mighty good ripping off .

Going into a bit of browser history I guess, of all the popular browsers, Opera and Firefox are probably the most innovative. I can't think of anything Firefox brought new to the table though except for extensions. Not that new is necesarily better, and Extensions is one of the most monumental improvements. I really wanna switch back to opera lolz. Theyre the true innovators to me. They brought us tabs, speed dial, and contrary to popular belief, they had the "Awesome bar" quite a while before firefox did.

Lol I sound like a promotional speaker for Opera.

Opera 2012!

I use Firefox.
The only browser that doesn't have any bugs for me on Windows 7.
Which is good, because I'd probably still use it, even if the others all worked.
You probably heard this before from someone else, but I love the add-ons. Some of them are very useful. MY favourite one is the Alexa Sparky (Located in the status bar, showing you the rank of the site, and it's trend), Foxmarks, and ofcourse Ad-Block.

 

[wysiwyg]

I'm actually enjoying IE8

Same here.

Free rush:The only browser that doesn't have any bugs for me on Windows 7.

IE8 works ok on 7, no problems.

Well, downloading with IE8 wouldn't work for me. And it had some issues with other sites.

 

[patrickt]

I use IE8 beta and it works for me.

 

[win7]

I can't stand ie and wish they would remove it and all dependencies like having to use it to download certain microsoft things... then give an option to add it or not.

yes I am used to opera like an "old slipper" and if it wasn't for microsofts restrictive practises like using update etc then I wouldn't have to use any other browser

Agreed, i would never have it on my computer if not for many ms sites saying "you must be using ie 5.5> to download this file/use this site".

I have firefox 3.1b2 and opera 10 alpha (i build wap/mobile sites so opera is good for testing them).

I use flock as I am a social network fiend. It is a Fire fox bases browser with add-ons that allows it connect to facebook, digg, twitter, blogger, youtube and more. it is very handy, if you are into networking or online marketing.

 

[Hybrid]

Flock is alright. The UI needs more work and the performance isn't very good. That's why I went back to Firefox.

 

[wolfman]

The performance is good in the latest version of flock, it already has the speed tweaks that are used to speed up firefox in the about:config I agree with the UI though it is not to my tastes either but I am willing to live with them as it is so useful.

Eh, 'most people'???
Market share for browsers, operating systems and search engines
FF is a long way off yet being used by 'most people'.
I love the new Safari 4 Beta. Lots of great new features.

Sorry imacken, I didn't mean to be so general.
Most of the people I know use Firefox, but I can clearly see IE is the dominant browser for 'most people' (typical end-users, I assume).

Not surprisingly, IE has 70% market share.

...Still like my Fox though.

 

[Hybrid]

It's not a fox though, it's a red panda.

It bears a striking resemblance.

Hahaha.
When I first found out, I felt the same way.

 

[saverio]

apple Safari does have the private browsing feature though.

I like the idea of not having to wory about having to clean out cache's and history's cookies and the like.

Do any of the other browsers or even IE8 support this?

 

[imacken]

ie8 has private browsing as well.
