Firefox for the shear usability, security, and customisation. Opera is faster than the lot has good security but not as customisable.
The only time I use IE is for manual updates via windowsupdate, bottom of the list. Could it be that the problems with IE8 be that its actually conforming to proper web standards rather than making its own up and websites having to conform to it???0 -

The webpage can inform IE8 by either HTTP header or a Meta tag whether to use the IE7 rendering engine, or to use the newer IE8 one. It's not much of a problem.0 -
Just throwing it in there as I didn't know, it just annoys me that M$ get away with forcing people down their own route all the time. Look at their forcing through their OOXML standard that made a joke of the ISO.0

Can you provide technical notation to back up your statement sir? :think:Firefox is the safest and bestSince when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
No body is forcing anybody down any path, Microsoft can do what they want it is there property and you buy a license to use it.Just throwing it in there as I didn't know, it just annoys me that M$ get away with forcing people down their own route all the time.

IE Proves more secure and robust time and time again, the project has Millions of $ invested in to it and has the best Microsoft platform software engineers working on it, IE has been around for a long time and has superseded it self on each new release, Fire fox does not have the technical resources or $ to invest and that is why a. It is free and b. it will never be better than Microsoft Internet Explorer™, Fire Fox has a handful of "anti-Microsoft" campaigners squirreling away at the project whereas Microsoft has some of the worlds best software engineers building a better and safer browser.

Linux and Firefox, for the simple reason that hackers will go for the most used systems - it's the law of averages. If you have 1,000 people using windows and 50 people using Linux then a hit is 20 times higher, assuming everything else is equal0
