it seemed like a good question to ask. i'm using firefox right now. i used to use IE but personally, i like firefox better, and that's not saying your browser sucks.

Cooler then some fox...

Explorer probably has a gun... shoot that fox....

It's already on fire so it's bound to die soon...

Right?

I'm using IE. I haven't got problems with it, so I'd like to know what the differences are with Firefox or Netscape.

You forgot Safari, tho. That's a browser for Mac. It's allright.

I have officially gone over to the Firefox side. My IE got nailed by a nasty Browser Hijacker/virus thing called Uspy, and I had to find an alternative to it until that was fixed.

I'm using Firefox now, though I used to use Opera before it crapped out on me. :( Opera was awesome. I miss the "Paste and go" feature.

Firefox is not five kinds of awesome. It's ten. It beats the crap out of IE.

I'm using the fox!

There are a couple. In fact, there really isn't a Linux browser, as they're all open source, so they can be ported to Windows/BSD/Mac easily. But the most used Linux browser is Konqueror. I hate that browser. Augh. I use Firefox in Linux.

I know that Shippinator Mandy uses Netscape, and there are probably a few others out there that use it, too. I just avoid it because it requires Internet Explorer to install.

Security, tabbed browsing, more compliant with standards, extensions(like my Firefox can control my music, and it tells me the current weather), themes, it's easier to download things embedded into webpages like Flash movies and images, and that's just some of the awesome things.

Firefox beats the carp out of IE. I officially switched about a year ago.

Heh. That reminds me of when I officially changed. It's somewhere in the Time Capsule, I think.

Don't any of you go looking for it!

The MSN browser. Picture IE, 'cept with a shiny skin, built-in email and IM, and stuff like that. I switched to Firefox a few months ago, but Mom said some computer guy said we should wait until the next release of Firefox to use it, so she made me uninstall it.

Plus the NoScript and AdBlock (plus) help with annoyances too.

Firefox. Sometimes Opera. elinks once in a while.

I keep IE around to see what broken HTML is supposed to look like. Screenies will come someday.
