I've tried IE, Firefox and Opera. Opera is the best so far, but IE is still the default browser as the missus says she's used to it!

IE7 mainly, but I prefer to surf OOF with FireFox due to the built-in speller....

Have to say I am happy with nice stable IE6.

IE7 I will continue to avoid until they have finally sorted it out (another 6-9 months is the usual timetable for MS...)

Not keen on Firefox, had a few issues with it and not used it in a year or so.

Opera... I haven't used that in absolutely ages so can't comment.

I am more than happy with Firefox.  Like the built in spell check (although you have to be careful as it is US).

Very rarely use IE now - just for sites that don't work in Firefox.

Tried IE7 and not too impressed.

There is a british dictionary for Firefox & also IE tab for sites that don't work  :y

For windows, IE reigns king for a number of reasons.

It works, its secure, its fast. More than could be said for its rivals FF and Opera.

Under other OS's, not so clear cut. Safari for Macs. Linux? Who the hell wants to use Linux as a desktop?  If you're forced to, firefox is probably only sensible option.


So IE6 for me. IE7 is getting there. IE8 out in beta later this year/early next  (MS realised they dropped a clanger with ceasing development after IE6)
