    Which is your preferred browser for everyday Internet access?

    Firefox. Used IE a few times, and it wasn't pretty. Too many infections, and it was slow as hell.

    Firefox has a much more efficient pop-up blocker and a very cool themes modication feature that has a very big collection of user made button styles. Also the tab feature is certainly handy.

    It was one of those I did my website project testing on in my college course. I don't use it and I hate the shareware version of it as it has that annoyingly large banner thingy on the left that obscures all pages no matter what screen size.

    Internet Explorer Never had any real problems with it, and only a few pop-ups get through, so I can live

    Firefox most of the time, but I occasionally use IE when FF disagrees with certain websites.

    I use FireFox. I just wish it had some stuff IE has. When it doesn't , I use IE on the site that needs the plug-in. IE has a lot of pop-ups.

    I use Maxthon which is a build on IE... it uses IE features to browse the web, but gives me all the features that Firefox has... tabbed browsing, popupkiller, adkiller and much more... very good and hasn't given me any problems.

    Well I don't know why but I can't do anything practical on IE because it won't accept that my flash plugin is installed and it won't allow anything to be downloaded. However the Flash plugin is clearly working on Firefox so I know there is something wrong.

    Also IE is Microsoft, and I don't want Microsoft scanning my history to find out what i'm interested in and sending me more junk emails.

    Yeah, same here. I don't understand why people have so much trouble with IE. It may not be the best browser in the world but it's nowhere near as bad as we're lead to believe. Don't visit Czechoslovakian transsexual porn sites and your computer doesn't get raped by spyware, simple.

    I don't get problems with IE on my computer, but I still use FireFox all the time just because of tabbed browing and doesn't take up a lot of memory.

    Firefox.
    IE is annoying. Even IE7 is annoying and the interface is too damned obfuscated.
