Just Curious what everyone browsing DC is using to view the net. Pesonally I was into Opera, but I gave Fire Fox a try and I really like that, go red pandas

Been using firefox since it was firebird. Dun use thunderbird for e-mail because, sadly, it's incompatable with yahoo.<br><br>Know a couple of people who use Opera, and are trying to... Uh... Shall we say 'convert' me? From the little I've used of it it looks nice and all, but I'm not too comfortable with the interface, and I remember from webdesign class that it's not all that flexable when it comes to sloppy html, which is annoying considering how most site's dun have perfect html.

Avant.

I have the old Netscape on my computer and am using Firefox on it too. Actually, I prefer the newer version of Netscape I have on the laptop. I stay away from IE. As for the PDA, Opera rocks. I'd try some of the other browsers for it, but installing Konquerer embedded isn't exactly user-friendly for me.<br><br>If I were to pick one favorite, it'd be the newer Netscape off the laptop.

I've been using IE ever since it first came out, I know it better than the back of my paw, and no force of nature can make me switch. Nothing specifically against Mozilla, I just see no reason to switch away from a browser that runs fast, is incredibly light-weight, and contrary to popular belief, can be made just as secure as any other browser if the user knows how to do it well enough.

Firefox. I used IE forever, then as soon as I used Firefox, I liked it a ton better.

Sounding like a lot of others, I'm mainly using Firefox 0.9.2 these days. I do occasionally use Netscape 7.02 when I need a more standard browser (It's still set as my default). I despise IE, but have found that sometimes I need to use it for sites where I'm filling out forms (but I usually try to use Netscape 4.8 first in those cases: it's usually compatible with anything that is mainly IE, and it runs faster).

I've used IE until about a month ago... now Firefox kicks major tail.

I use Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 with a ton of useful extensions. I've been using FireFox since it was called Phoenix.
