lol, this'll probably start a browser fan-boy flame war. :P

Anyway, mine's Firefox. It seems to do everything I want.

HOWEVER, later versions seem to lag like crazy and ends up taking shed-loads of memory until re-started. It's something they still haven't fixed after numerous updates. But I have faith they'll fix it soon so I can't be bothered to change browsers to something with less features.

Internet Explorer.

I used Firefox a few times, never really got into it. Haven't used the others.

I've personally only had Internet Explorer, so I guess in all fairness, I'd have to vote for it.
Although, I hear FireFox is pretty good.

Internet Explorer. I have IE and MFF on both my computers, but I think IE is better.

Internet Explorer due to it being default. Also, Firefox fanboys are fucking annoying.

And Kin, "pop-up blockers" are everywhere, not just on firefox.

And Raider, you missed out Safari (Mac browser)

Firefox because it has the ability to read HTML correctly... unlike IE .

Firefox: loads slowly, but once it's loaded you can Browse faster.
Explorer: Opens faster than FF, but still slow.

Firefox originally because it has tabs. Now, because IE7 crashes constantly when I try to use it and takes ages to do anything.

I'm using the Firefox 3.0 beta which has all sorts of wierd bugs but is rather pleasant on the whole.

Why is it such a common mis-conception, actaully? I kept getting his name wrong too when I was younger.

Still, Bowser is an odd name.

Yes. Something like 'Leslie' would be nice instead.

I used to use Netscape. Now I use FireFox.

Firefox, without any doubt. No other browser have I ever been able to customize and streamline so brilliantly. Using it, I can specify all sorts of shortcuts that let me reduce visual navigation to next to nothing, leaving almost the entire screen for the Web portal.

I admit, though, to not sampling the latest IE has to offer. Its tabs seem clumbsy and cumbersome to me, but then I’ve never tried to customize them.
