2. Mostly Avant Browser
I like making custom skins for it.

Also uses tabbed browsing - no second windows. Just like Opera.

No pop-ups either.

In addition, I use Firefox as a backup.

3. Safari.
Works well for me, meshes with OSX beautifully.

4. Firefox
On Linux and Mac. (Sometimes I'll use Konqueror on Linux or its cousin Safari on Mac when I need to have the browser pose as IE)

5. Opera
I adore Opera. It is the greatest Browser every developed. I also like Firefox, but Opera is my main brower.
:hippie:

18. realisticphish uses the koolaid pitcher in his/her sigline...
Nowadays, "drinking the koolaid" is synonymous with giving up one's independent thoughts totally to the cult leader (or the RW, as the case may be), dating back to Jim Jones and the mass koolaid suicides in Jonestown,Guyana. So, I see the pitcher icon from childhood and can't help but feel sad about its loss of "innocent" context.

11. switched to Firefox,/Mozilla although
I still have to go to IE occasionally since some media won't play outside the IE/Windows media environment-- at least for me...

13. Just switched to Firefox and I love it!
So many cool features and customizations. It puts anything else to shame, IMHO.

15. Call me lazy, IE
I really have no excuse either. As a software developer putting together web enabled applications, I have NINE web browsers installed on my PC and could run anything I wanted as my default. Still, I seem to always end up running IE.

Maybe I'm just stubborn. It was only a couple of years ago that I finally admitted that NN4 was outdated and moved to IE, waaaay past the time everyone else abandoned it. IE will probably be the same way.

19. Internet Explorer
I use Internet Explorer.

I have no need for a stripped down browser to help me to navigate the web safely. :evilgrin:

20. I love Firefox
for the tabs feature and the ability to zoom in on images (with a plug-in). Can't figure out why it's called Firefox, though -- just a kewl name? I keep slipping and calling it Foxfire.

21. I use Mozilla.
MSIE & Outlook Express are the hackers preferred target of choice. Plus I don't care to pay homage to Bill Gates. I use his products as little as possible.
