See title.

I prefer Internet Explorer 7; it has that really useful phishing filter and because it dosn't take up a lot of memory.

As of now, I like my Firefox too much to bother checking out IE7's beta.

I guess I'm the only forum member with dial-up -_-'. I do prefer Mozilla FireFox out of those options, but I also enjoy using Toast.Net and any cable- based Internet.

MAN, that's a stupid question. A totally horribly stupid question. You know you don't have to pay to buy a CD with Firefox on it, right? You can just download it. When I realized this, I knew that if you used IE regularly, you must be some sort of moron. I mean, I have to use IE to edit web pages, but that's all. Firefox always does something screwy. But that's the only time.

1. I didn't make this poll to detirmine weather I should get FireFox or not.
2. I have FireFox. It's a pretty good web browser. The only reason I use IE more than FireFox is because IE 7 does everything FireFox does but is easier to use.
3. What you're saying is that over 85% of the people in the world are morons, because 85% of the people in the world use Internet Explorer.

Think before you post.

I was thinking before I posted, I meant to type each and every letter. If 85% of the world uses IE as their primary browser, that's pretty sad. Depressing, even. You ruined my day.

I find Firefox just as easy to use as IE. You can customize its settings to make it pretty much the same as IE, if you want (+better).

Firefox = win.

Firefox takes like 3 times longer to load anything than IE. And I can't figure out why. That said, I use both equally, depending on what I need to do. If it's speed, I use IE. If it's something that breaks IE (like any site that uses the <EMBED> tag), I use FF.

Although, I have Firefox re-named "FYREFOKS" on my desktop to mock the legions of "IF U DOTN UZE FYREFOKS U R STUIPD N SOULLD DAI" morons who seem to swarm, like, every forum ever made.

Though, if it's any consolation, I have IE re-named "Internet Exploder".

No, that's what text editors are for. Learn HTML.

Sounds about right to me.

IE 7 does everything FireFox does but is easier to use.
Completely and utterly false. Firefox does many, many many many more things than IE. Also, in my experience, IE is not easier to use than Firefox.
That was a joke.

I like firefox best. I changed the name of it on my desktop to "godzilla firetrucks" since it rhymes. I do like Opera a bit. Unfortunatley a few things require IE because they have some corrupt deal with Microsoft, like yahoo things.

I use IE. I use it because it came with my computer, I'm content with it and I have absoulutly no reason to change to something like Firefox or Opera.

I use Internet Explorer 5.0 and I have no complaints about it. They don't make the others for Mac OS 9 but I'd have no reason to switch anyway.
