I don't use any of them. IE7, Firefox, Opera never used them. For a very long time now I've been using Maxthon. It's a IE clone but with some extras like tabbed browsing (long before IE had that), different skins, ad-blocker and a few more thingies. It's free and it's fast.

I just wish the people who made these silly polls;
a) checked the forums for existing copies of the same polls.
b) posted them in the correct forum.

Safe enough. Never had any problems with hackers or what have you more. I have a separate firewall installed (ZoneAlarm) which blocks all intrusions.

IE7 is worse on the resources.

also the nice thing about FF2 is the crash recovery.if firefox closes without u askign it to, when u start it up next time it will ask u if you want to restore the session. very nice feature Cheesy

IE7 has holes in it, and liek vista, i wnt be touching it totaly until a service pack is out

Personally, I feel Firefox is much better, there are so many more options available, so many plug-ins and skins, and so many functions that are just above and beyond what IE can provide. If anything IE7 has made me MORE confident that I don't want to return to IE, the fact that they have just cottoned on to tabbed browsing just shows how slow they are to pick-up things that really makes a difference to how people surf the web.

I use IE7. I find some websites work better on it. Those with flash, etc.
