[Poll]Preferred Web (Internet) Browser - 2006 Members Choice

Results (Bar Chart) Results (Bar Chart)

• This is a single choice poll. Although many people enjoy variety we only want to know which one is your primary browser.
• We've tried to list as many choices as possible but inevitably we'll miss yours. If that has happened then please choose Other and post the application to the thread along with a link.
• The poll does not delineate between versions (e.g. MSIE6 or 7). Please feel free to clarify your favorite and explain why.

For the record -- I voted Microsoft Internet Explorer. I use IE7 -- although still in beta, I find this latest offering from MSFT to be easy to use, the tabbed browsing, pop-up blocker, integrated RSS aggregator and anti-phishing tools to be an excellent improvement over past offerings. Since using this browser, I've removed all other browser applications from my systems and now recommend IE7 to friends and clients.

Opera

I need a browser that has the speed I need, the security I need, all the features I need, and it has to be customizable to the users consent.

Opera gives me everything all packed into one small 4MB package: fastest, safest, most feature-rich, and most customizable browser on earth.

Opera, hands down, with IE backup, just because.

Opera, with a side of SlimBrowser(IE based) for those IE specific sites... like Microsoft Updates.

Firefox/IE7.

... Opera 9 is my default, preferred broswer - but I also use Firefox 1.5.0.4 frequently, and Mozilla 1.7.12 rarely ... that 'other' browser just sits there ...

... good job on the poll, MSeng ...

Opera as main, Microsoft Internet Explorer for my XP updates.

I use Firefox most of the time but Opera would have to be a close second for me.

Another Opera lover here.

I once used Firefox (and still do along with IE once in a while), but when I tried Opera and saw the amazing number of built in features (Some of which are finally being employed in IE7...long over due), I was hooked.

I love the RSS reader in Opera among the many other features.

Some people don't care about Tabbed browsing, but for me it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

FF got me going on Tabbed Browsing, and it was the lack of it in IE that made it impossible for me use it much anymore....I plan to install IE7, but I'm waiting for the final release (If that day ever comes).

One thing I've found (although I'm sure it's probably true of most Browsers), is that you really have to try Opera for more than a day or two before you decide it's not for you.

At the time, I also felt Opera was a lot more 'polished' than FF which seemed to me to have far too many problems early on. (I do think FF is much better now than it once was though).

Opera is FAR more customizable than some people think, and it took me several weeks before I found out just how many cool ways there were to 'tweak' it to my liking

Heck, I'm still finding something now and then I didn't know existed....this is a great Browser (IMHO of course), that will only get better and better.

Oh, and thanks for the excellent Poll MSeng !

Mozz' FireFox...loved it the first day I dl'ed it, and Im never looking back to the IE days, thats for damn sure.

reply to MSeng
IE7 Beta but the latest version of Opera is growing on me...

reply to MSeng
Firefox, even though it regularly crashes once a week. I just tripled my amount of RAM. Hopefully that will help.

I miss LaWanda Page something fierce.

reply to MSeng
I'm torn.. I don't trust Microsoft because for sooo many years they let IE go to hell untill Firefox showed everyone the true path .. Now, with IE 7 Beta 3 I actually am finding I like it better than Firefox but I don't trust them...

I voted for Firefox
