    I'll say FF. I never been a fan of IE. If you look closer, IE7 is a remake of FF.
    I will always support FF.

    bite your tongue :mad::D

    does anyone know if IE8 has a restore feature?

    Would be nice after the 55 crashes per month if you could pick up where you left off.

    IE8 will win, it comes with Windows. But, FF is still the better browser, mostly due to he incredible community support.

    Yeah LOL, why don't they fix the real problem. Thats like saying, the tires on my car are unbalanced, I'll put some led weights on one side to level it out:D Thats how IE is...

    Eventually it will die, just look at w3's stats

    I'm an opera guy, but In this battle, I'm with FF3

    I lurve opera because of its simplicity, you hardly have any toolbars, but FF is good too.

    K-Meleon doesn't change much on version to version updates. Been using it since pre 1.0, and now it's nice, stable, warm, fuzzy, and full of simplistic goodness. Plus, I loaded the same number of pages in FF2 and compared to K-meleon. FF2 used 200+ megs of my ram. K-Meleon used... 30. Yep. 30.

    I.E. still is crap and Safari can go to Africa and get poached for all I care.

    Well, that's just this site. But world-wide statistics seem to show IE as the most popular (if only because it comes standard with Windows).

    I agree with some posters that you should just use what you prefer. It's not like anyone's life is at stake!

    (Mind you, did you see that hackers have got into the International Space Station? So, perhaps lives are at stake after all!)

    Most used, not necessarily most popular. There is a difference.
    The web developers in the group would say our working lives are at stake. This is why we wish IE would go away. Then our workload would decrease significantly and allow us to only write our code once. We can also move forward with modern technology, like XHTML, SVG, CSS3, proper DOM usage and Javascript, etc. etc.

    I can't believe that people still actually use IE. What a giant bloated turd!

    FF all the way!
