I have stared using Mozilla Firefox and have noticed my internet is much faster and nexus works much smoother, the download manager that comes with it is very easy to use! It makes everything on the internet faster for me (even nexus)!!!!

i've been using it for three years now. It's more functional and has a better interface than the basic microsoft internet explorer. It doesn't have a 64bit version yet though.

Google is also working on their own browser. Which is still in beta, but it looks very promising. Basic/Slick design and very quick.

I used to use Firefox. Then I went through a stage where Firefox was not working right for me. It was having these weird crashes and hang ups and what not. I got fed up and switched to Opera.
www.opera.com Firefox is back up and working now but I have not been tempted yet to switch back.

Opera has most of the advantages that firefox has. There aren't quite as many extensions for Opera as for Firefox but most of the main extensions are already built into Opera as standard features or can be added. Plus it has two particular features that I cannot find a Firefox extension equivalent that works right. With Speed Dial, you specify your 9 favorite websites. When you press CTRL + [x] where [x] is the number that corresponds to the website, that website will be automatically opened. The other feature is custom search. This post is getting long so I won't describe what it does. Check the link.

So as you can tell, I recommend Opera. (Try them both out and see what works best for you.) The only firefox extension that I really miss is CoolIris.

Just don't use IE.

Ack...I avoid IE like the plague...just going to the same site in both IE and firefox or opera will show you the difference...

I use firefox also, and haven't had any problems with it at all, so I still use it for years now. I have heard great things about opera before, and if I ever had the inclination/necessity to switch, it would be to opera.

Lol, i was literally about to make a poll about this, well, on my Laptop, i use Firefox, and i love it. On my Desktop tough, (i bet im going to get a earful) I....i... Use Internet Explorer 8! I have a 64bit OS and, to be honest, it runs like a dream on my Desktop, but horribly on my laptop, so, frankly, i use both

i use google chrome. firefox never worked right and internet explorer basic and as slow as can be and chrome is fast extremely secure and a nice basic design yeah there arent any addons but i really never use addons and for stuff like xfire live video i use internet explorer 7

My friend told me about google chrome having some privacy problems in the past, remember guys? Ck mack? Hehehe yes

even though, ever since i now use firefox, i love using much of the extensions, what i wished is that they made an addon for microsoft virtual earth, i think it's much better than google earth, but still in the beta, it's like google earth except it shows the actual buildings in 3D, and you can add in buildings too if you want

You are talking about features that Google Earth has had for some time now.

well personally i use firefox but the difference between browsers seems to be getting less and less

for those interested in speed purely you may want to look here for some interesting results
but bare in mind the versions used: http://www.pcworld.com/article/162252/g ... tests.html
