    Default Which Browser?

    Following on from the "which homepage?" thread...

    Which internet browser do you use?

    I use IE6 because thats what was installed and its what i've been using since i owned a computer, so im pretty familiar with it. Not really tried anything else.

    IE6 for me too, I used Netscape browser for a very short time (when it first came out in the uk) but I am happy with IE6.

    IE6 for me as well. I did use opera for a while but I wasn't to impressed with it really.

    ie6 for searchs but stick to netscape for browsing seems quicker

    IE6 here too. Played around with different browsers a few years ago and really couldn't see any advantage in changing (apart from not endorsing our good friend Mr. Gates).

    i used netscape from about 1995-96 until I found out how much better IE was, even at that time

    opera.. its very quick.. tabbed pages.. its ease of use because of the way the mouse is set up is great.. i aint seen a popup i didnt want to see since i got it.. its totally customisable layout (especially in the new Opera 7.5).. the built in google search box (or any other kind of search u wanna put there for that matter).. the password system.. its not slow and clunky like IE.

    couldnt live without it now... any time i use IE on other pc's at uni etc i realise just how slow and shite it is.

    ie, i like my system to be as clean as possible. there's no need to install a second browser.

    tried netscape, opera and mozilla in the past and wasn't really impressed by any of them.

    IE6. Don't particularly like it, Tried Opera for a while. But I'm used to it and it's on the machines at work. Just Bloody idle I suppose.
    If it's described as foolproof, you can bet they are about to breed a better fool.

    opera for me it is a good halfway house between ie and mozilla cos mozilla tends to be a bit less bad-website friendly.
