    Yah, figured FF would be most peoples choice. Opera is the only one I deal with, usually, but I know that it takes a lot of getting used to if moving from other browsers. FF 3 works well, of course, but I'm not a fan of how it downloads things, but I love Opera's way of doing it, again a personal preference deal. Google Chrome is actually a pretty functional browser, clean to look at also, but still pretty untested. Safari, ehh, not a fan. IE, good lord someone put it out of it's misery. True, probably 99% of websites are compatible with it but it's slow, easy to corrupt (I don't care what you do to it or how you protect it) and allows little customizations compared to the other browsers.

    Not to mention one last thing, although both are included in virtually all Linux OSes now, Opera and FF both work equally well, but FF seems to open and load pages slower...this is the inverse on my Windoze boxes, though, were FF loads faster, although Opera displays WAY faster any page I surf to.

    Since FF appeared on market, I use him since. There was a minor bugs but overal performance,many addons witch can be easly integrated and simplicity got my attention.

    I didnt try google crome and since it has their toolbar and toolbars are full of holes, viruses and trojans i think i never will

    Opera....not bad but fox logo is the BEST! afterall it dousent have nothing whit micro$oft

    Firefox is definately the best - There is a plugin called IE-Tab that can use the IE rendering engine within a firefox tab. You can manually force it to switch, or set certain URL's to automatically switch. Other than a tiny icon in the status tray there is no way to tell which engine is being used - I can totally delete all the IE shortcuts off a windows system, start firefox, go to windowsupdate.com, get all the patches, service packs, etc. totally seamlessly, and never have to deal with IE's crappy interface.

    ...but my personal computer has been running Linux for almost 3 years, so I don't have to worry about being WinDozed anyway.

    One more thing, then I will shut up.

    I forgot to mention the tweaking you can do with Firefox. If you are a geek (like me) then you will appreciate about:config

    Type that in FF address bar, but be careful not to make any changes unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing.
