I'm just curious what everyone is using. I've been playing around with many different browsers the past 6 months and i've found Firefox to be the best for me. What do you use and what features do you like about it that aren't in another browser?

depends what I'm doing.
If I'm using the corporate intranet I use IE because that is the corporate standard and certain pages/apps only work in IE.
For normal web stuff at work I use Mozilla.
At home, IE - because that's what my wife is used to and I'm too lazy to load up Mozilla and convince her to use it.
For me it depends on which box I am currently on
Windows IE 6 with the google tool bar popup blocker, quick searches Etc
Linux - Mozilla 1.7 Multi tabbed browsing for multiple web pages, popup blocker
Linux - Fire fox 0.9 same reasons as mozilla
I use both IE and FireFox. At one point I was using Opera/IE/Firefox/Netscape however I have moved soley to Firefox and then for certain corp stuff I use IE.
If I was to give advise on a browser I would say go with FireFox and for Corp IE (what I do :D)

Another vote for Firefox from me. I think the best features are tabbed browsing and popup blocker (yes, I know that IE blocks up popups too). Every once in a while I'll use IE if a page isn't loading properly in Firefox... But that is pretty rarely.
BTW, this has been done before... But it's not a big deal.

Ditto, plus Firefox just looks cooler. ;)
Yeah, i really like firefox, it's been treating me well. I have found that mozilla products and opera don't work as well under corporate environments like everyone has been saying so IE is the choice in the workplace but for home use Firefox is definitely my favorite.
Oh, and sorry if this has been done before, i couldn't find it in the archives and was just curious.

Second one (which i vote for too cuz there is no SB otion is firefox ! )
Awesome. I am always up for trying out a new browser. Thanks for the info.
Firefox blocks most pop-ups by default (although there are ways around this, Site Point sometimes manages to slip one through) and offers tabbed browsing, without being as memory-hungry as Mozilla. What more could you ask for? :)
Firefox, Opera, and Slim Browser.
cheers
Here is the place to DL slim browser
It is a pretty nice browser I use it on occasion.

I'm currently using Avent Browser it's got a lot of cool features, and it's easy to use..
I'm back to using IE after going through Firefox and Ie2, I guess I'm weird, I just like IE for some straneg reason. I'm the only one to have voted for it anyway. Then again I like Windows in general which might explain a lot...;)

I guess so, it has a lot to do with this being a family computer, my laptop is another story but I dont have any trouble in general with IE because its only for personal use, say the hour or two I might be online a day so I dont get too into it.
