| | I see as firefox as my main choice but its really up to you on what you choose:
Firefox is an open-source (Wired mag) Internet browser, thought up by a 18 year old (completed when 19) after many frustrations with Internet explorer. It has a built in pop up blocker that has never once fail me, and is 100% skinnable. It includes TABS, which is a fature that lets you see more than one page in one window. Because of its new scent, noone has bagan to look for a way to deliver viruses thrrough the browser. It has promoted its service by Spreadfirefox.com, which gives of webbanners and free blongs (i think) to spread the word of its arrival. It just recently made the cover of Wired.
I think you all know about INternet explorers life enough so i wont go there.
Happy descisions,

This has been a topic of discussion for some time now, everywhere  I've come to the conclusion that Firefox is the best browser of the moment (and no, i'm not just going on the hype here!) , and I've been through IE, Opera, Firefox, Netscape and a few others. What is important, though, is that no browser is perfect. I'm mainly looking at this from a page rendering view here, being a wannabe-web designer. Eg: IE doesnt support <blink>, for example, it also renders a lot of CSS incorrectly. But it is by far the best browser for Javascript etc. Why can't they just make a super-browser, which takes all the best elements from each? But then, I suppose everyone would use it, and hate it as it was the monopoly  Just the way it goes, I suppose. -vacant

what makes firefox so great is its customizability. imagine what firefox would be without extensions, themes, and without an open source! when you let absolutely anyone submit improvements to the source, and allow for easy creation of extensions without touching the browser source! also, mozilla is really great at advertising its browser... i really do not though how they managed to do it!

Firefox all the way, but not because of it's extentions, themes, and open source code. Because those are all implementations that I don't use. lol. I use the tabbing, pop-up blocking, and everything else for a non-computer programmer... Mainly just the features that are normal. But firefox is still the best. No doubt.

I would choose Firefox anytime because I hate Internet Explorer and Microsoft. Firefox is much faster then Internet Explorer and don't forget...it is free, which I think is the most important advantage.

Well, is there really any decision to be made? It has been done and proclaimed over and over again!! Have no doubts... It IS Firefox! Or whatever they choose to call it the next version (It was called firebird earlier ) Firefox is technically superior and there is no doubt regarding that. But we should keep in mind that it lacks something that IE is blessed with. IE is bundled with Windows and Windows is the OS of >90% (I think) of all the Pcs in the World!!! Most of the people out there using PCs for basic purposes haven't even heard of the term 'browser' leave alone 'firefox'! So how do you expect them to download and install that software? Most of the 'learned' men with whom I work do not even know the basics of surfing... how do we expect them to 'switch' to firefox? Firefox CANNOT rule the World. Unless Bill Gates buys it or adopts it ...which will be a shame if it happens... So, the truths: 1. Firefox is the superior browser 2. IE is the dominant browser 3. Firefox may never be the dominant browser 4. It is a pity... and a shame... Hope I will be proven wrong... Googlue

but of course,when you get down to it, the only reason IE got so bad, was because that it was the main brower, the deafault of them. any illiterite computer user wouldnt even realize that there were more browsers to choose from. So , by common sense, a hacker would choose the most widley know browser to hack, because,well, theres more people that are using it. So if firefox begins to dominate the browsers, there will be nothing left of firefox's sparkling sense of virus and pop-up proection. The same story could be compared with a anti-virus software.

i like firefox the most and i have tried them all. but for some reason ie is faster when i use gmail. i have no idea why but firefox takes ages and the pages don't load. i also don't like the way firefox handles downloads as there isn't a dialog box like in ie. but firefox is better i think as pages render very quickly and it has cool skins. the only other browser which is as good as firefox is opera. It can display wml pages which is useful for me because i own a wml site. (wml is like html but for mobile phone browsers) but unfortunatley opera is not free and it gives you a banner ad at the top until you pay so firefox wins. And i hope that all the good browsers aren't very popular- then people will make viruses. I don't mind who else has firefox or if nobody does.... just as long as i have it then i dont mind even if my signature shows otherwise

Firefox. When I started using the internet, I've always seen that IE was slow and just put your net slower than it was, at least IE3, 4, 5, etc did. Until I found Mozilla and tried it. The alphas were great but at the time I prefered my PC with full programs and thinking it could be a virus, I deleted it. I started to see lots of good critiques and I downloaded Mozilla 1.0. It had an awesome download manager and my net was on it's speed finally, downloads faster, etc. I upgraded all versions until 3.5.2 I think. Website authentications are all *swearing* and sometimes it just accepts it automatically if I ever write anything and most of the times it just shows up a blank page. This issue is worse on linked images, as if I click an image with a link, the same blank pages appear and I'm sure the website is okay as if I try in IE, it works. Still, Mozilla is way better.
