    I guess I am one of many using IE and FF, but if you wanted, as I do, have a third one, maybe a fourth, what would you use?

    And just as important, why?

    Thanks!

    i have netscape 7.2 and IE 6.0 here at work. i prefer netscape because i can create tabs (similar to firefox).

    i'm not sure how old this version of netscape is.

    @ Gal: thanks, I didn't know Maxthon.

    @ DRAY9911: thanks, actually I use IE7 which has tabs, therefore reducing the use of FF

    I have 4 browsers.
    IE
    Firefox
    Opera
    Safari

    I been using Opera until last night I decided to download Safari 3 for windows. The beta version.

    It's definitely faster and looks better. I just hate how I can't hover links and see the url before I click. there's not a bar at the bottom that shows the url either.

    The bad thing that keeps me away from Opera is that you can't select images (which is very stupid)...

    Since it is available for PCs, I might give Safari a shot...

    The image thing about Opera does make it unattractive.

    WHat do you mean by not being able to select images?

    Been using Opera Since 1997. Have a New Vista machine with IE7 as well.
