    Firefox ftw. It's so much faster than IE that when I tried downloading it once, then tried going back to IE...how slow the pages loaded was just ridiculous to me. (Plus I'd played and MMORPG for which the best site was Firefox-compatible only.)

    I also love the CTRL+F feature on Firefox, and the loads of useful add-ons (e.g. Greasemonkey) I wouldn't give up.

    If/when Google chrome gets developed more, I might try it out, but for now, I'm definitely sticking with Firefox.

    I changed to Google Chrome, and I'm beginning to like that more than Firefox...Firefox is my second choice. I guess I can't change my vote, but Google Chrome = <3

    I wonder if IE or Chrome will take over Mozilla Firefox users because Firefox is the leading browser right now. And, IE has an advantage because it comes with every Windows PC...so that's domination by Firefox. But, according to my friend, IE has "awesome" new features in Windows 7 so IDK yet...

    I use Firefox 3 and Google Chrome for the most part. Although Opera is pretty good and doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves...unlike the weak Internet Explorer....

    I think theres a dispute going on whether IE should come preinstalled with the Operating system anymore since there are many other 'better' browsers available.

    In the past I used IE but now I mainly use Firefox. I have Opera if I want to minimize memory usage and gain extra speed. Also tested Google's Chrome but it doesn't seem to offer anything special over Firefox or Opera for now...

    I use IE, because it was what I orginally started using on computers, because it came with my first comp.

    I use FireFox, because of all the stuff you can download for it.

    I use google chrome, because it is the only browser I have that opens within 3 minutes.

    I really like internet explorer 7. But IE doesn't work on my laptop anymore for some reason. I tried reinstalling it and it still doesn't work. So I use Firefox now. I actually like Firefox, I'm glad it has tabs, but I wish IE7 worked on my laptop.

    My Firefox takes up the most memory and is relatively slow at boot up out of IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera. Firefox does have the largest base for add-ons though which gives it flexibility.
