What web browser?

I am just curious as to what people use for browsing the web... I used to use IE6 but about 2 months ago switched over to Opera 7 for tabbed browsing. I actually prefer Opera now (with the IE6 skin ). I just wanted to know what the people of TFP use...

Opera 7.0 for Windows
Pheonix (Mozilla) for Linux

Opera 7.0beta for linux is too crappy looking to even try.

I use IE 6 because it's bundled with Windows. I hate having multiple copies of that same type of software on my PC so I'll make due with IE. I've got it pretty well locked down compared to the default install.

I'd probably use Safari on the Mac if I bothered to spend the 10.3 upgrade money.

As for Linux, prob go with a flavor of Mozilla because that's what people tell me to use.

mozilla (the stable release, but only if nightly builds are too scary)

"Find text as you type /"
"Find links as you type '"
tabbed browsing, i could go on...

good.

I alternate between Netscape 7.0 and Internet Explorer 6. It depends on where I'm surfing. I prefer to work with Netscape, but it just seems like there are times when Internet Explorer works better.

I switch between Mozilla and Phoenix/Firebird. Mozilla is much more stable, for now.

Konqueror most of the time in Linux, sometimes Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird

Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird always in Windows

I really liked IE6 but I started getting nothing but red x's where pics used to be so I switched to firebird which was just too slow in my opinion, now I am using opera and like it waaaay better than any of them.

I love Opera, but am also giving Mozilla and Firebird a shot.

It wil be hard to pull me away from Opera though, as it just seems to have a lot of great features, tabbed browsing, and I love the mouse gestures.

Been usin Mozilla for awhile now, ever since I fried windows on this computer, and linux was the only thing to work. Had a decent time with it so far. Kinda miss the quickness of the load, but it still is nice being able to say, hey, least I'm not usin windows.

Netscape 7.02 is nice (don't go anything earlier)
-tabbed browsing
-popup killers

I know mozilla has the same things, but I have been a netscape fan ever since Netscape 2.0 (although they almost lost me with Netscape6... eww)

however, fi I am just looking for a quick tidbit of information (text), then I generally go with lynx. Nothing like the speed of good ol' text browsers!

I like mozilla for the popup and tabbed browsing. Another thing is that this is a shared computer and my sister uses IE, which she prefers. This way we can have our own separate browsers and keep the settings the way we like.

I used to use Opera untill I reformatted my computer. Have been to lazy to reinstall it. IE gets the job done so I havent really needed Opera.

Bow to the Red Dinosaur! Mozilla to the masses! I've used Netscape 2.02, 4.5, and 4.7. Netscape 6 and 7 sucked the turkey's nuts, so I used IE for a while. Now I use Mozilla, and love it!
