While I use Opera on my desktop at home and am quite satisfied, I have experienced lots of trouble with it on my recently revived laptop. It frequently decides to simply freeze up (program not responding). Therefore, I have switched to Firefox instead. No problems so far.

Using Firefox almost exclusively.
Only using IE when I absolutely have to, like for my home banking and Windows Update.

Voted for text based :-) it loads fast, and I can get the needed information in no time. Otherwise I'm using firefox. Ie for homepage testing only. sometimes opera also, it's a very good browser, ff won only because superior web developing tools.

I have Mozilla Firefox, and I use it occasionally, but I actually find it quite cumbersome. It has problems with popups and with download managers besides its own. So I always use only IE, but I keep that firefox shortcut handy just to keep any firefox jihadists from complaining.
Firefox has a good download manager extension, and opera has built-in bittorrent client. If you ever do homepages, you can forget ie... anyway, it's nearly five years old, too old for a web browser. And about popups: you can disable them anytime in ff.

Firefox. After WB's tip of a it. Actually, I think it's good, since I have nothing beyond to ask for. But Microsoft IE started giving me trouble, then I dropped it. The 'problem of the day' was: unable to write on fields. As it started without any explanation, I just got tired and found another thing to navigate. And here it is.

I used to use Firefox, but now I've moved to Opera. Opera's really a superb browser; the mouse controls really simplify things. Plus it's fast and looks neat :)

I'm also looking for this, especially because I heard that under linux Opera is faster than FF.

TT has right with the tabs: one can't get rid of them, if you tried it, you can't miss them.
And DH, I don't like these shiny toolbars (yahoo, msn, google etc.) they're sometimes just too annoying... and they don't change the fact that ie is soooooooo ooooold. That's why I don't like it. Maybe ie7 will be better.

Firefox has a really cool Video Downloader extension. Even works with youtube flv files.

Speaking of Firefox, is there any way to recover my bookmark list after my system mysteriously crashed yesterday? It's very odd because when the crash happened, Firefox wasn't even running. Now when I started the browser, there were only the initial Mozilla links in the list and everything else was gone. :S

No, it won't. :devil:

Firefox somewhere store your profile and usually it is under the same place like your bookmarks, backuped bookmarks and so... Take a look for MozillaProfile or just bookmark*
