Most of the time I use Firefox, though I do use IE6(*mutterspyware catnip) for windowsupdate. I've got Opera and Avant installed atm to try, but haven't had much time to mess around with my home pc since I installed them |

I use Internet Explorer, but would consider changing! Microsoft is too pervasive for my taste.....

Firefox. Since iVillage took over GardenWeb, masses of flashing ads sprang up annoying almost all the users. Firefox seems to screen out most of them. Also, I agree with Mezz; Microsoft basically creeps me out

Give Opera, Firefox, Netscape, etc a shot, see which one you like the most. |

Firefox for browsing, IE for shopping. |

All I can say is it says a lot when 90% of the techs don't use IE.
I use Firefox but I find it somewhat irritating that Microsoft sites don't display properly in it. For instance you cannot use the Microsoft update site unless you use IE.

Opera 7.23 works just like Firefox but I like the interface better over FF. |

Ok, I am clueless about these other browsers. Someone want to enlighten me? I do a lot of downloading and file swapping over the internet. Are these good for that? Do they support online gaming? What are both their advantages and disadvantages?

I use Safari.
In order to not assume what you're using, what browser are you using Pete? |

My ISP recommended Mozilla, so I installed Firefox and Thunderbird. Couldn'
t be happier now. None of the problems associated with IE and OE anymore. IT was to the point where I couldn't upload files to send to anyone. Now they go really smooth.
Ironically, I keep IE only because of the vast need to download fixes for any of the other MS garbage that I keep on my system because I have to.

What problems did you guys have with IE Specifically? I have used IE for a long time prior to using FireFox and didn't notice any issues.
