FireFox FTW!!! Opera is just a modified IE active x control browser, and IE just sucks...Microsoft made it and it is slow and unsecure...[sarcasim]Who likes Microsoft anyways?[/sarcasim]

Exactly, Firefox FTW.

Since I run a webmaster related site, most of the people that visit are all using Firefox. If they're not they won't see anything pretty because my site looks like crap in IE6+

My website visitors use IE 6 and 7 and then comes the firefox....

Opera comes on the third place.... and safari on fourth...

Personally I use IE7.

Though I test my website on IE6, IE7, Firefox and opera...

IE6 seems to be the browser of choice for people going to my site but as far as I am aware it wouldn't make a difference what browser they use as it will display the same whatever

Ya I use Firefox2 and then when developing my sites I just click the FF icon by the bottom of this browser, I got a addon called IE tab and it just lets you be on IE7 or 6 while on Firefox

Oh dear sweet hairy Moses...
Opera and internet Explorer aren't related in any way shape or form.
For starters, Opera is cross platform while internet Explorer is just front end for the Trident HTML rendering engine that's built into Windows.
Opera actually renders standards compliant code correctly with only minor differences between it and Firefox (such as spacing in dotted borders).
Opera has better support for many things ranging from RSS to web standards and even Bit Torrent.
IE6 was a horrible browser and IE7 has an interface designed by imbeciles while Opera 9 is well laid out and is pretty customizable.

Personally, I use Firefox 2 under Ubuntu 6.06, though I also have Opera 9, Epiphany, Konquerer (because Safari doesn't run under Linux, but it's built off of Konquerer's rendering engine anyway), Galeon and Internet Explorer 6 (eat me Microsoft, your browser running outside Windows ).

Most people will still be using Explorer as it's the first browser many come across, but any web dev or generally clued up person with half a brain should be using something like Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konquerer or Camino... Or they should be banned from using PC's with the punishment being getting shot in the rear with an Uzi (and if you're designing apps which need Internet Explorer, all I can say is wtfjgisvjbirf...?).

Firefox for me. Used it for the last two years and wouldn't even consider changing to anything else.

Firefox is good but I like the new IE7 FF is starting to die on me tooooooo often now.

I use opera. And for some site I use mozilla firefox. Opera is very nice & secure browser. Its rendering is fast. And many things. If you haven't tried it yet then try now then you'll see what is the difference betwoeen Firefox & IE. It is totaly different. And in the first reply of this thread I read one foolish was telling that Opera is the modified active x of ie. You're totaly wrong. This means you haven't used it. Altohugh I may be wrong. anyhow. That's just my opinon to speak with my own liberty.

Firefox rocks..........

omoi

i use four different browsers:
Opera (i like the widget games )
FireFox (very secure)
I.E. (it feels so basic, though)
AOL Explorer (openride actually, i've been with aol since 4.0 i think, it's awesome for me)
it just depends what mood i'm in; there's always a browser to suit it

I am currently using Firefox.
