Everyone here is using a Web Browser to view this page. There has been and still is a pretty fierce "battle" for which browser is best. A lot of people say Firefox is the best, others say Internet Explorer is best... some even say other browsers are best. My question is, what browser do you use and why do you use it? I use Mozilla Firefox because it has much more functionality than Internet Explorer, safer browsing and in my opinion much faster than other browsers.

For me, I use the Internet Explorer because it let me grab some videos of over the video streaming websites. I grab it using the video graber programs. In Firefox they dont allow me to do this.

I'm using firefox. I started using it because of the tabbed browsing, as I didn't want to have so many IE windows cluttered on my taskbar. Although now IE7 has tabbed browsing, but I'm still sticking to firefox :)

I use Mozilla Firefox since it is free cross-platform works in Windows, Linux, and Mac and it is very fast and secure. Version 3 uses even less memory and is tweaked to work very well and looks nice within its native operating system. Best of all Firefox is open source so bugs and security vulnerabilities get fixed very quickly. People can also make third-party add-ons such as extensions and themes that will be able to customize Firefox and give it more functions to work better

I use Firefox on my Windows XP and Kubuntu (Linux) machines. I use Opera on my Dell Axim X51V PocketPC. I hate Internet Explorer. IE is soooooooo sloooooooowwwwwww. There are certain sites with online applications that will only work with IE, so I still use it once in a blue moon.

well there are lots of good browsers but i use firefox. why? because it has lots of add ons , and its safer i guess. it also opens pages that IE cant open. alot of other better functions too with the history, saving passwords , recovering old webpage visited and more. IE 7 is pretty good too . just like firefox but i dunno why im using firefox. both have multi tabs in it. Opera hmmm, i havent really tried it . whats with with firefox is that you can download addons that lets you play music while browsing. cool isnt it?

I use Firefox as well. I like the tabs and the extensions. Also like the search in the browser for many sites. I think it loads a little slower, but once up is much faster than IE.

I use Windows Internet Explorer. This was the first browser I started with and have come familar with its functionality. Also with dial up downing loading a new browser takes way to long. When I can get faster internet connect I would like to try Firefox. I have heard good thing about the user frindly functions. Some day
