    Opera's pretty good if you want more speed in a browser. It's also a very small program. I use it whenever Firefox starts to act up(crashing, slowdown, whatever). It's always good to have a secondary browser.............

    Firefox

    Meh, I might get curious someday and try Chrome, but seriously Google is the best search engine, why do they need to make a browser too? Right, because all companies get too big for their britches and try to monopolize everything, sorry forgot about that.

    IE O.O possibly less secure and doesn't have H.264 streaming compatability.
    I'm a X Firefox user as it shutsdown often but offers a reboot opening your closed sites, it got annoying for browsing videos as it needs the plug ins first or to download active X first to view Youtube.

    So for now I use IE (Family Computer) and carry Opera Portable on my flash drive for undetected viewing, although some sites don't support Opera. for some reason I like being unique O.O

    By the way, not to sound off topic on this one but I wonder how Google Crome is? got a link?
    FireFox is more secure because viruses or whatever gets downloaded to your computer from:

    -Being stupid and downloading a virus someone set up.
    -Or Possibly hidden in file that would go through "Temporaily History" which can be streaming data like videos or games and download to your computer unknowingly.

    But FireFox doesn't use a Temporaily Folder or atleast deletes it after browser shutdown.

    Yes but it ain't a debate because if it was nobody would stand a chance against firefox!

    Haha I dare to be different I mostly use K-Meleon.

    http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/

    Why? It is faster than Firefox. I do still use firefox occasionally but only for time waisting plugins like stumble upon and Last FM toolbar. For all my main tasks K-Meleon suits my needs.

    Just to be even weirder I do most of my searching using Clusty and not Google !! shock horror :p
    Of course I use Google for search code stings but for standard searching I prefer Clusty as I find the clustered search results very useful.

    k-meleon uses the IE engine so its standards compliance will be just as crap as IE.

    It uses the Gecko engine same as Firefox

    Chrome is my main browser at the moment, with Firefox 3.1 beta as my backup. Chrome is great if you just want a slim, fast browser.
