Actually, I use all sorts of browsers for different applications. Firefox primarily, IE for applications that are not yet supported on FF, even MSN for a few things! Of course, as webmasters we should have many available to us to check our pages in each and every one to make sure they are compliant with each. Nothing like having a visitor visit your site from Safari, only to find it broken for them (been there). If you are selling something, you just lost a sale because a simple task was not completed. I know this from experience, BTW.
I use IE7 all of the time and only use FF and Opera for testing my designs. I am just used to IE so I stick with it.
big surprise seriously though, one thing I hate about IE....managing favorites is like wiping your ass with your feet I mean what the he**, give me a full size box to work with!
I just switched to IE 8 a few days ago, its far superior to IE 7 (in terms of looks and features) but is very slow. Thus am still loyal to FF
no one, and I mean no one cares about this you're on my radar actually the easiest way is to just go to the favs folder in win explorer...that was you can see more than 20 things @ a time
What I like @ IE is that if I type a fraction of favorite's name, it shows up instantly, just like linux commands, first letter or two, then tab
FF3 does the same or similar based on either favs or history i believe. ok check this out. I did a small test FF3 vs IE7, opening the same 44 tabs or so, IE did much better with the memory, ~250MB to FF's ~350MB nice!! kudos for IE.... BUT WAIT! check out how LAME IE is. I wanted to take the test up a notch, 200+ tabs. So I go to import my FF BM's to IE...looks like it worked fine (the importing of them). But as it turns out IE will not import multiple bookmarks that have the same tab name!!!! What the HELL? so for example in FF I have http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=8038291&owner=timsdd and http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=8038301&owner=timsdd both with the same header/tab name but clearly different bookmarks. IE selects one of them to import only!!! WHAT??? so basically if I have a folder of BM's in FF, 250 tabs, but of the 250 only 7 of them have different tabs/header names, guess how many bookmarks get imported into IE? 7 well that's really freaking helpful that in and of itself is why I hate IE....retardedily stupid idiosyncrasies like that!! I wonder if IE8 has the same FLAW for BM handling
