    Post Your web browser choice

    .
    Felt like posting a pointless poll and this one is at least not on the first page.

    There you go. Which browser(s) are you using/preferring and on what basis? I'm a Mozilla guy (SeaMonkey), for its ease of use, moddability, tabbed-browsing, security (only Nsis Media spyware somehow managed to penetrate it so far ) and more reasons I can't recollect ATM. However, I'm also using its cousin Firefox to ease the load. That one is for...ehm...educational purposes.

    Started using Mozilla about... 4-5 years ago or so? Switched to Firefox when that came out, so I use it and Thunderbird now.

    IE wasn't too terrible around version 5 IMO, it was probably one of the better browsers at the time, but that's not saying much. I never liked Opera, though some of my friends swear by it. /shrug

    Opera all the way. It's so unpopular that spyware that causes pop-ups doesn't work with it, plus it looks nice.

    Used to use Mozilla, now onto Firefox. Still use Mozilla Composer for general html editing, but I had to move on to Firefox for browsing. AdBlock FTW!

    Adblock, as well as other extensions, works with SeaMonkey perfectly, FWIW. I have it installed on both SM and FF.

    Opera.

    I've got a copy of firefox and one of IE 7 installed as well, but never really use them, I just like the layout, security and possibilities of Opera without the need to install seperate addons for everything.

    I was using IE but I'm going to give Opera a whirl. My impression so far is that Opera is the Mustang to IE's . WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! So Fast!!!!!!!
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
