i prefer to use mozilla firefox than others. i dont know what the exactly reason but something sure for me, mozilla firefox seem faster than another browser, either its opera or ie7. unfortunatelly, mozilla firefox not available as mobile browser so in this case i prefer to use opera web browser for my mobile. and what about you dear? which one do you think faster?

o really?! now mozilla has web browser for mobile which called MINIMO? wow, thats awesome. thanks for informing me about this matter dear iDivision. i really appreciate it. by the way, i just go through to the web page of minimo, unfortunately this web browser only for windows mobile which not compatible with my own mobile. my mobile is nokia so my mobile using symbian operation for third application not windows mobile. :( well, its different with opera web browser which compatible with symbian mobile phone not only windows mobile. one more thing, MINIMO has large size than opera wb browser to be download

actually you are wrong about mobile browser because mozilla which is firefox creators have program called MINIMO, which is alternative to Opera Mini on mobile phone. I hope this information was helpful for you :)

Firefox is my favourite web browser, primarily because the "add-ons" are really value-adding, and conveniently functional. Opera is pretty cool but unfortunately some sites do not display properly on Opera. I use IE7 too but my default is still Firefox.

Opera is a cool browser, just that certain websites displayed differently as compared to IE7. Same for Firefox too. I guessed most websites optimized themselves for IE7.

I use Mozilla Firefox. I am happy with it because It's function is very easy. if you want to add new tab you can add easily. & It's downloading is very fast. If your internet is breakdown when your internet again is up to start downloading automatically. & It has same facilities like IE. But IE has a problem like hanging & sending error problem.

I think FireFox is the best browser I've ever used. I believe in it. It is safe and very fast. And I can really customize the look of my browser, include add-ons and I like the layout of the browser. Most webmasters use this kind of browser.

Personally, I do prefer both Opera and Mozilla. I used Opera browser more frequently. It is very fast and safe to use. I also used Mozilla because it provides useful add-ons or extensions. I used IE rarely because there are some sites that cannot be opened by Opera and Mozilla.:-) Overall, Opera is my favorite browsers among the rest. :-)

thanks for response! several times i tried out Opera betas too, but it seems to mee that those web sites which cannot be opened in previous versions still is not fixed and cant be opened on Opera newest versions... also maybe web page creators support one of browsers more and thus it is not available for other browser users - great example is windows update page which must be loaded with internet explorer.

My favorite is Firefox and I'm presently with it's v3 Beta2'. As a use my experience with it is better than of others. On my first and new PC I have used Internet Explorer 6 and 7 but found both ill. They loads slow and hangs badly and regularly. Firefox Beta 2 and previous versions loads faster, surfing is faster and we can tweak the inbuilt settings for more speed. Other then these I have updated versions of all major Web Browsers including Opera, Netscape, Interner Explorer, Safari. As I have to check my web page designs on each of them. Firefox rocks.

My favorite web browser is Opera because it allows you to do something on mylot that other web browsers don't! please dont ask me because I wont tell you! Nice question anyway.

My favorite webbrowser is Safari. Why?? Well it runs fast on my machine and looks very clean. I must say I am a Windows user and have never used Mac. So I do not like or dislike any of those Operation Systems. I am a website programmer so when programming I use most of the browsers available. The worst (at least in my opinion) to program for is Firefox, because I always run into trouble when I use CSS inherritence. Also firefox is a lot stricker with tables and stuff so for programming I like Internet Explorer. With Kind Regards, MOnline

Yes i like safari too, but it is still in beta and i can say that i still see many crashes while using it.. it is very fast and safe, especially fast for youtube videos, but problem for me is stability of this web broser.

Both IE and Firefox work with great speed. Since I am accustomed to IE browser and had used it at the beginning. I prefer to stick to it. Moreover I have upgraded it to IE7 and I find it is very convenient to be used as I could open 8 tabs or more at the same time.

I think upgrade from Internet explorer 6 to internet explorer 7 is the best what you done!

I use Safari and Opera. Safari is my main browser, but I usually have opera open for IRC, so I find I use both for web browsing.

When I started to access internet, my first browser is Netvigator. After that, I have used IE for so long time. Today I try to use Firefox. I haven't used other browsers yet. Since I haven't used Firefox for a long time, so I have no more comments about it. It seems it's convenient. As to IE, it's easy to be attacked.

I use Internet explorer and I'm all right with it, I don't think it needs to be replaced. It works, and this is the most important thing to me.
