What Browsers Do You Use?

I'm using Bon Echo - Which will soon be the next version of Firefox.
It has anti-phishing built in along with a spellchecker and a lot of other improvements.
It's still an alpha, but I'm finding it very stable and using much less memory than 1.5
For features see:

though I'd wait a few weeks if you want your extensions to work without tweaking them

Opera.
Stuff I like:-
Fast
Torrent Downloader
IRC Client built-in
If you shut down your pc without closing Opera next time you bootup it will ask you if you want to continue from last session, opening all your previous pages. Now that I do like!0 -
firefox, I cannot go back to ie now,:rolleyes: when I am forced to use it, I close the minute I can and go back to firefox! :TI always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...0

opera.
when i reopen it, it takes me to the last viewed page, and it's faster than ie. on two occasions when my isp had problems and bb connection was down I had to go on dial-up, and opera proved to be much faster than ie.
i don't use ie anymore but i don't want to uninstall it in case the whole system gets screwed up.ok, so i'm hot...

Opera here too.
Fast & lots of fuctions added in. Also light on resources.
I have IE7 beta too but tbh it doesnt do anything different/better than Opera & will be more prone to attack in the future (due to its popularity)0 -
Avant browser and Opera. Both have the modern bells & whistles: tabs, mouse gestures, feeds, abilty to save/reopen previous sessions etc. Avant supports multiple proxies and has more flexible security settings (c/o IE). Opera is ultimately more customisable (although it takes a bit of setting up) and has a lot of extra quirks and features I am currently exploring.

Aah, but that one is 'Which'. This one is 'What'.Quincy wrote:

I use a mixture of browsers: Firefox is my first choice most of the time as I've been using it for years and have customised my extensions and themes packages perfectly as I like it; I use Opera and Internet Explorer for browsing sites that Firefox doesn't display properly. Also, I do my Windows updating manually, so I use MSIE for that.0
