Was using IE6 due to habit, but too many sites were playing up including OOF.
Tried IE8 - that is horrid, and when I go to a site I want to use that site not the address bar - terrible with search engines.
So now using Firefox it seems to work fine
-
Prefer FF these days Only use IE if there is any probs (Which is rare)

FF here too.....`haven`t got along well with any of the recent I.E`s.....I tried I.E 8 in my virtual PC 'sandbox' but it seemed very resource hungry. ;)

Same here. End of day, its 6 and 2x3's. :P

I use FF, and have for years.
Nowt to do with alleged security, or anything like that
Just find it smaller, quicker, and nicer to use.
Also has some nice addons I find help me out.
only revert to IE for incompatible things, like EPC

Firefox for me! :y :y
-
IE7 seems just fine for me, but I dont do anything complicated :)

That shows how abysmally bad all you're other PCs are then ;)

I have to use a wide selection for testing lots of stuff, but when I'm sat at home, I tend to use IE7 on Vista and IE8 on W7.
IE6 too long in the tooth now.
FF3, bit too sluggish for me to use day to day, and is inconsistent in its interface. Thats before the rendering issues. My preferred X11 browser though.
Chrome - more bugs that Lybian coffee shop. Would never use as primary browser in its current state.
Opera, well, its rubbish. Safari, OK on mac, but like all crApple software, poor on Windows.
Anything else, just avoid!

I currently use 7 but also validate web designs on FF, IE6 & IE8 (via VPC). IE6 is full of bugs, IE7 has some but at last Microsoft appear to have followed W3C standards with IE8, usually I find if it works in FF it will also work in IE8. Will probably move to IE8 shortly.
I have also just pre ordered Windows 7 and noticed the warning for europe "burn a browser source to CD before installing Windows 7 as no browser included" - its about time the EC got real, there is no anti competitive aspect to bundling a browser in the OS, plonkers.

The biffs at FF and even more obscure browsers would say otherwise.
Of course, if new PCs (talking about the poorly built ones from small shops) don't come with a browser, how are users supposed to get a browser?
The big sellers, such as HP and Dell (the 2 largest manufacturers based on box shifting) will still supply IE, as the likes of FF are not in a position to pay them enough.
