right now I am using opera 9, which I just got today, and so far it is awsome. Has howed me even more than when I made the transition from IE to firefox. IE sucks to hell btw, dont use it. IE allows people to take controll of your computer. Using opera, its has blown firefox away, it uses much less memory also. It strikes me as very high quality.
what do you use, and why?

Opera. It is the most efficient, full-featured, integrated suite of Internet functionality around, in my opinion.

I have to admit, Opera is a nice little browser. You are correct about the IE security issue. Since the core of the browser is the same as the core of Windows, if someone manages to mess with your browser, they are actually also messing with your Operating System.
Although Opera is a good browser, webdesigner don't all have a tendency to test their site on Opera because it is not widely used. Firefox is the second most used browser, so webpages is more likely to show up correctly. Plus Firefox has lots of customizable extensions, plugins and themes. This takes up more system resource though, but I have enough resource to go around every program so this is not really a problem for me.
All this to say, that the browser I use the most is Firefox. I do use IE from time to time when all other browsers fail, and I do use Opera from time to time when I feel like it, but 95% of the time it's firefox.
cheers

I use Firefox. It is faster, safer, and better than IE. And *many* more websites work with Firefox than with Opera. Opera may have some nice features, but it will also cause trouble sooner or later, due to the incompatibility issues.

I love firefox. Less security issues, everyone else will use IE so the spyware/adware makers will still target IE.
Firefox also has so many add ons that you can customize it however you want. Check out the add ons... there are different skins, and only the smart people use Firefox, it shows you know your Internet stuff.
If you use IE or god forbid AOL, you are a noob. no offense.

I use Firefox because its better than IE and most things support it also now. Almost no websites officially support the use of Opera because of its almost microscopic user inprint and focus.

Mozilla firefox. Never have any problem with it. Compare to IE, firefox seem to be a faster browser.

Mozilla!!!! Because I use a Linux machine generally.. it handles my e-mail and browsing, and is easy to make changes to my web site using the composer. The only thing I don;t like is always having to add plug-ins... some are a pain to install.
