Nope, Opera is faster than Firefox, and Firefox is slower than Internet Explorer. Because Firefox renders the page before it has been loaded, it may seem faster, but in fact, it's slower. Also, it is more secure only because it doesn't use ActiveX and because the main target for hackers are people using IE. Opera is even more secure

I don't know why some people say that Firefox is better than Opera. Opera has all of Firefox's features, plus alot more. It is more secure, it's faster and it's simply better. Firefox has an awful skinning feature, where the browser must be restarted before the skin can be used. Honestly, that's how M$ does it, but FIREFOX?!? In Opera, you can preview a skin and select to not use it the very same second you've downloaded it.

Of course, I'm using Opera. I'm a fan of it

I use firefox. The absolute best browser, in my opinion. Tabbed browsing, fast rendering, anti-spyware/adware features, popup blocking, craploads of really really useful extentions, etc etc etc.

Oh, did I mention that it's 100% free?

I don't know about any browsers that aren't free. Tabbed browsing has been default in Opera since the 90s, before someone had even thought about making Firefox. The popup blocking works much better on Opera. Those "useful" extension are default in Opera anyways.

Also, I would just make it clear that Opera is more secure than Firefox. There are over 100 known security issues in Firefox, some of them discovered back in 2004. So Firefox isn't really secure

I think Opera is the fastest browser and it's indeed for me

Firefox here. So far it's my favorite browser, I just use IE for web design testing purposes (you have no idea how frustrating it is that IE can't show transparency properly.)

Yeah, IE is awful at displaying pictures, and can't even show transparent PNGs properly. The only good thing in Firefox is simply that it has a good support of the standards, whie IE doesn't. But that's the only real difference between the browsers.

I use Firefox, Opera, SeaMonkey, Mozilla, Netscape, Avant Browser, Maxthon and Internet Explorer with Service Pack 2.

Mostly I use Opera and Firefox. I use Netscape and Mozilla for some odd purposes. Avant and Maxthon for Windows Update and Internet Explorer for testing of web pages. It is so annyoing for IE.

Opera and Firefox are the best.

I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox for the most part. I tried the free version of Opera and liked it, but something bothered me for some reason... I basically use Opera when I need to test something or something doesn't display correctly in Firefox. If it still fails... Internet Ex...p...lo...rer...

On my laptop there's a Netscape browser that lets me switch from IE or Firefox when the page isn't viewed right in one browser. So i odn't have to likeopen firefox seperately and view the page. And its all one browser. Not that fast but its okay.

I use Maxthon as my default browser because it's can block advertisement, annoying popup, tab-browsing and based on Internet Explorer. So, it's proper for my 56k dial-up connection and enjoy the feature.
