Firefox/Mozilla. I can’t stand other browsers.

Firefox – add-ons, ad blockers, customization options, stability, web standards

Firefox FTW.
Firefox 3 beta 5 for linux is amazing.

I really like safari….I had firefox, its my 2nd pick. Internet explorer sucks

El_Cadejo's avatar

Yea i second that. IE is horrible id rather not use the internet then have to suffer with that damn browser.

i’d rather surf with W3M under freeBSD than use IE ;)

To paraphrase Gary Larson,“They told me I was a free-range Web browser, and I downloaded Firefox and never looked back.” I am always happy to escape the clutches of the collective—not this one—the Borgian Microsoft one.

I use both Firefox and Safari.
Firefox for developing, but safari has some shweet CSS tools built in, you just have to know how to turn them on.
I mostly use Safari for Hulu.com

Firefox. And, just in case you run into a site that wont run properly even with FireFox emulating IE, have IE installed.

Safari is great on a Mac but somehow, I don’t really like it on the PC just yet.

Firefox. The name itself should give it away!

Safari is my first choice and have firefox as backup. I haven’t had IE installed since Safari first appeared.

Firefox on a Windows
Safari on a Mac

Safari on Windows isn’t that great; so i prefer Firefox.

Firefox (or Opera because I have a soft spot for it).
Both are W3C standards compliant. Firefox is developed by a community of talented people and the product is also much more secure than IE. There are a plethora of add-ons available to enhance F-Fox’s functionality as well.

hehe, i use webkit too

Magnus's avatar

Using WebKit is pretty much a no-brainer. It gets 100/100 on Acid3.
