Personally I use Opera all the time... but I don't recommend it for visiting SimV main page as it presents some problems in download.

Alex, many FF users did the switch when IE6 was the current version... no tabs, no integrated ad-blocker, and many bugs.

The problem with IE7 now is that tabs open very slooooowwwly and it takes more RAM from my experience.

Once I figured out the mouse gestures in opera I knew I wasn't going back to firefox Cheesy

I use IE-7. After reading others rave over Firefox, I downloaded it and gave it a try. It's good, but I didn't find anything worth raving over, so I use IE-7.

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.
