Default Which Browser do you use?

FireFox is rapidly gaining ground against Internet Explorer, as more people are worried about security and bugs that have plagued IE6.

Microsoft are due to release IE7 Beta in a few months time... which browser will you be using?

According to the server logs, 67.1% of you are using IE6, 21.4% using FireFox... and the rest are using older versions of IE or other browsers (Gecko, Safari, etc...)

And to be honest i've never had a problem.

I use Firefox!

I created another thread giving details of Firetune and how to make Firefox faster, if you are using Firefox, I would consider that little tweak mandatory.

Here is the link to the thread in case you missed it

I use Firefox 99% of the time, although it doesnt work properly with my University's Virtual Campus so i use IE for that.
I've also tried using Opera, which i do like very much, but it does have a few problems sometimes.

Firefox is very easily customised to my needs - I particularly like the mose gestures add on which saves me lots of mose/keyboard movements.

I never really had troubles with IE, but i did get a little worried about the security vunerabilities I kept hearing about. The main reason, other than security, that i switched to Firefox was for all of the extra features. It has nice looking themes too.

I also use Thunderbird now instead of Outlook Express, for similar reasons.

Mostly IE, sometimes Opera. Outlook 2003 for e-mail.

I tried Firefox, I just couldn't get on with it, didn't like the feel of it. I know, I'm odd

Why do you think we get along well? Ain't that odd for some reason?

Give Firefox another chance, maybe this time it just might click

i've been using firefox almost exclusively for about 8 months now.

i say "almost" because I still use IE to play on the MSN gaming zone. If anyone knows how to use firefox for this then I can finally delete the shortcut from my quicklaunch
