Well, I use Firefox when I'm at my own house, but since I'm at a friends', I'm currently looking at this in Internet Explorer.
Using IE. When it got tabs I didn't see the point in using Firefox unless I wasn't using a microsoft computer.
IE 6 was pretty damn bad, IE 8 was pretty awful as well (in my opinion). They got the Gorillaz to promote IE9, however. If that's a good thing remains to be seen.JoJoDeathunter said:
Why do people hate IE so much? Are they proud of using something other than the default? There's no noticeable speed difference while browsing. Security? Security doesn't matter if you stay off shitty degenerate sites and avoid dodgy files. I only have FF installed for the YT downloader plugin; tried FF for a while and it ate all my RAM, never closed properly after using and sometimes did this annoying thing where it would hide my tabs.
Oh, and I don't like the idea of Google looking over my shoulder. Go away, Chrome.
Opera seems nice. I haven't really got a reason to switch over to it unless I start dabbling with Java though. Unrelatedly, Opera has an awesome mobile browser.

Except Windows XP with IE 9. I imagine IE's market share took a plunge there...JaredXE said:
Edited: Didn't realize 9 was already out. Shows how much attention I pay to IE.
I use IE.
Not joking.
I just don't really like the formats,and the inability to alter the HTML on a shitty page o_o

I use Chrome. And it's awesome. Sorry to hear IE is going down the tubes. But that's how Capitalism works.
I switch from Chrome and IE9. I've never really liked Firefox, can't give a good reason why though :S
Pretty much this. And besides, Firefox has those awesomely named toolbars that you can customize, and perhaps make as an ironic statement.drbarno said:
Personally, I am using the SRWare Iron [http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php] version of Chrome. All the benefits of the browser without the invasion of privacy on Google's part.
Anyway, unlike most people, I don't think too poorly of Internet Explorer (at least of the post-6 versions; 6 was horrible, though). That said, it's not adapting fast enough to the changing browser market, so it's little wonder that it has lost quite a lot of marketshare.
Personally, I used IE for a long time, since I didn't like how bloated Firefox was (although it is a good browser). But once Chrome was released, with it's minimalistic and friendly UI and high speed, I finally decided to jump ship and I haven't looked back since.

I don't understand why INTERNET BROWSERS of all things have fan followings and hate wars. I use IE. It works for me. Why do people keep giving me shit about it?
I am NOT using Chrome or Safari, since I avoid giving dangerously large, control companies free money or attention.
