IE, due to laziness more than anything else... at home. At work, IE because IS mandates it.

I use Safari, on a mac I find it easier than FireFox, not sure about PC's though. I find it useful because its reliable and has some nifty tools like the spell checker, and thats all I really want basically.
On a (not so) interesting side note I haven't updated Internet Explorer since I got the comp and when my friend (not knowing what Safari was) tried to start it up and it caused a computer freezing lag spasm before it died.

I had a very similar experience with IE. My new laptop has always been mozilla, had a friend that decided to look at youtube on IE. Blue screen of death, as well as some fun times doing system restore. He now knows what mozilla is, and IE has been removed from my icons and shortcuts.Armitage Shanks post=18.70507.695814 said:
Well... the browsers I have used are:
1) Mosaic Yup... I was there, in the old days. 1994 was the year.
2) Netscape It was good... then came Netscape 6. RIP Netscape...
3) Internet Explorer Filled the void after Netscape. I could never be bothered with tabbed browsing because - quite frankly - it's a bloody nuisance. With that I have to look for my windows in two(!) places instead of just one.
Presently it's mostly IE7 because "everything" works with that. FF2 resides on my USB stick's PortableApps suite but I rarely use it since IE covers my needs. And as soon as Safari for Windows comes in a portable version I'll install that on my stick because damn that is fast!
I recently finished a project here at work were we developed a webshop for a major label (we're expecting visitors in the millions per day) using multiple technologies such as Javascript, AJAX, Java and Flash. As such we had to test the shop for all the major browsers since none of them follow standards perfectly. The experience was this:
- IE6 is a cesspit that is to be long forgotten. Unfortunately too many are still using it for us to be able to ignore it.
- FF1 didn't even make the cut, we're not supporting it.
- Opera was out too. Too sluggish and compatibility was a bloody joke. We couldn't get anything to work with that.
- IE 7, FF2 and Safari have about the same compatibility and stability issues, noone worse or better than the other. No big workarounds had to be implemented.
- IE7 was reasonably fast though it could be better, FF2 a tiny bit faster, and Safari was a bloody racehorse on steroids!

Firefox, switched from IE to Firefox some time ago and never looked back. Tried Opera, but that just didn't have a right feel for me. Tried Chrome and it is pretty damn good, I'm just waiting for bugs to be worked out and plugin capabilities before switching to it.
Or when you get to give it addons like FF3's Tags, Tags, Tags,Lt. Sera post=18.70507.696240 said:

I use Explorer. That probably makes me equivalent to a maggot performing fellatio on the Devil, but it works and that's enough.
