I used to like Firebird until it bugged out. Notice how they have 'bugzilla'? Well, I didn't pay that any attention and figured the software was just fine and dandy. I went along my merry way until I got a first hand taste of bird shit from Mozillas Firebird.
-tabbed windows are slower
-some pages on another forum I’m in don’t load all the way
-it’s gui is really ugly and un-smooth
-you have to download all the ‘addons’ just to make it not completely suck
-blah blah blah

IMO, IE is much more smoother and reliable, yet I don't exactly use that either; I have an addiction to tabbed browsing. I like my computer and internet experience –sorry to sound so dramatic- to be neat and clean.

FYI: I've used Opera, Avant browser, Netscape, Firebird, etc; I was a web browser whore -and may still be- for the longest time. I'm always on the lookout for something 'better'.

Recently I've found that since IE is the most stable and compatible browser of all the ones that I've tried, it only makes sense to use browsers that are integrated into IE (or whatever).

Avant Browser (works atop IE) has been my browser of choice for awhile now, and at the moment I'm testing out SlimBrowser (also works atop IE) which is somewhat similar to Avant Browser.

Opera is awesome, but I’m too cheap to pay 20 bucks –w/out student discount it’d be 40 bux- and I’d rather not have a gigantor banner add on my free browser.

ALSO, if you're on dsl or cable modem, I don't see any reason to worry about browser speed. Everything is fast on those connections. Most of the time -this month at least- I'm on 56gay, so browser speed does mean something to me. BUT, compatibility means so much more, cuz i don't like having to switch browser just to view something special like if a webpage is only properly viewed when using IE and isn't compatible with opera and mozilla -i HATE that shit.
