I've used all those browsers you've listed, but my favorite is definitely firefox. You can customize firefox in so many ways, it 's just amazing. I only use internet explorer when i'm testing websites during development. Not a lot of ways you can customize Microsoft IE browser and rather boring to use. Google chrome is ok but i don't like other stuff google tries to install along with the browser. Their updater cannot be be shut down, at least by me, even if i terminate the process in windows task manager. It will just restart on its own again. I tried removing the folder where it resided but that didn't work either.
Before this, i used IE cos I really trust MS during my university, in my lab, i'm using netscape, because it has a application such like frontpage. and now im come back to mozilla. heheh Rgds, www.nohzhn.com/
