Hi hawick, I am currently using opera as my main browser. It is much faster when compared to other browsers. I like the overall speed performance of it. It has fast execution especially when returning back from previously visited pages. It is safe to use too. It has widgets like the add-ons of mozilla. Overall, I am so impressed and grateful with my opera browser. However, I also used mozilla and IE rarely if I need them. Have a nice day and God speed!

Even better, Portable Firefox: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable or Opera-USB: http://www.opera-usb.com They don't require to be installed, you only have to unzip them in your favorite folder on your disk or on your usb pen-drive, and they don't write anything outside the folder where you unzipped them.

i have the 3 browsers on my computer and i have sampled all.Well internet explorer's the worst of them all and prone to hanging at times,while firefox would have been the best bet until i started using opera which i can say outbeats all of them.Opera loads quickly and doesnt hang like the other 2.so my choice would definately be opera browser...www.opera.com

Firefox, plus the next update should see more of the features that everybody likes about Opera, like saved sessions and such. Hopefully people will realise that IE is not up to par with the best browsers out there :D

well, IE already not in par with its competitors already, saw its latest version, all so call new features are features of what other browser already have, nothing special about IE

Yesterday I visited my brother who is a pc expert. He had me tested the Internet Explorer versus Opera. He likes Opera best. He prefers Opera than Firefox or Internet Explorer. I, on the other hand, I had the chance to realise that I really appreciate more the Internet Explorer.

Firefox is miles ahead of IE and opera. Opera is a fast browser but firefox is more stable and protects the user better. I love firefox also because of the great plugins like adblock.
