best web browser

[jmahoney]

I have owned a PC for a number of years and have used many different web broswers currently using IE7.

Can anyone tell me which is the best?

Personally I like IE7 the best. I tried FF, but I couldn't get on with it at all, it just seemed like everything was "overcomplicated".

Go with what feels comfortable to you though - there is no "best" browser.

As Tute says the best browser for someone, is the one that feels most comfortable for them too use.

For me personally thats firefox. For you it might IE7

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Links is the best browser.

IE7 & FF.

firefox
with these addons are a must..

adblock plus (blocks all ads (i don't mean just popups, you'd be suprised how crap the web looks when you remove this after using it for a week!)
customizegoogle (searches google as you type, kind of like an all knowing autocomplete for google)
UITweaker (for removing right click menu options -the kind of options that all browsers have that you never use, like 'send like to email')

gmail notifier (if you have gmail), integrates perfectly into firefox

IE7 with the IE7pro addon http://www.ie7pro.com/ Which includes addblocker, spellcheck and some other nice features

I use Opera.

What I like about it: uses a lot less memory than the other 2.

Keyboard shortcuts, search shortcuts, gets my rss feeds built-in, the speed dial as my start page, IRC client built-in. Probably plenty more i'm forgetting like ad-blocking - I don't even remember what popups are like. The wand for remembering sign-in information on sites.

Thanks. I shall quote this. I just find Opera to be on another level browser wise.

I use opera.

It has the mouse short cuits so you can go back and forward pages with the click of the mouse which is good if you are lazy

Plus its good on memory

Firefox

Firefox. I have found it to be more secure than IE (although I haven't used IE for a while, so it might be more secure now). It also has loads of very useful plugins, including an OcUK addon which is awsome
It's also quick and I find easy to use.

So does IE and Firefox o_O.

Well i had it on Opera First

I used Firefox for a long time, but ive decided to try opera for now and it seems good.

 

[Kobrakai]

Without a doubt ...Firefox. Although Opera is good too.

IE6 is too insecure and buggy.
IE7 has a dodgy interface.

 

[Will_3rd]

Firefox for me, although when using Windows IE7 seems quite nice.

I like Opera, but tend to use IE out of laziness.

I agree.

You can't go wrong with FireFox, got my whole family converted from IE7, now they cant stand using IE7

Opera mainly. But also IE7 now and again and for certain sites.
