I was just wondering, which web browser do you use? I personally use Firefox due to spyware/virus hell with IE.

Mostly Opera, but sometimes Firefox, and on extremely rare occaisions that I need to watch the news, IE. --IE almost never gets used due to it's inherant security lflaws.

I use Mozilla Firefox. I only use IE to view movies when the extension on my Firefox won't work. I have to use ad.aware to get rid of spy ware after every use of IE.

For general browsing: Opera with flash and animations and video disabled. Nice and fast.

When I need flash, animations, or video: Firefox

Firefox, I use IE time to time, but only for downloading large files, firefox takes complete precedence over it.

Firefox.

I tried Opera, and it was pretty good, but FF's extensions win.

I use IE. Firefox keeps crapping out of my comp. Plus the way it installs is just messy.

A tip for Firefox. Go to Tools > Downloads. When the Downloads list appears, hit the Clear button. See, Firefox maintains a list of files there, and every time you download something, it has to assemble that list. If you let it grow too large, it can slow things down a lot. So clear it frequently.

I am proselytizing, evangelical Firefox zealot. I often try to make conversions.

"And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days."

-The Book of Mozilla, 12:10

I say to the Followers of Mammon, thou shalt be scorched to the earth! :lol:
Repent (by clicking http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=124323&amp;t=51)
or thou shalt burn for eternity in the lake of spyware!
