Tech Discussion Best Browser

Do you use more than one browser? I have to to test my website for all users so I have Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome installed. Of all the browser's I find that Firefox is my favorite.

Firefox is free, open-source software. I am a big fan of anything open-source and the concept behind it. It takes techies back to a simple pride of workmanship.

What's your browser of choice and why? What's the one you hate Angry

(IE probably)

Do we have a contender for Firefox? Going once, going twice . . .

Definitely a plus. I mean I have developer plugins that allow me to eyedrop colors from the desktop into my style sheets and plugins for all sorts of 'download this video' or something. That's what made the difference in interface for me is apps/plugins.

Open source is not only respected it's respectable. Some of these developers run huge FPOs and make tons of money, but meanwhile they are developing PHP for free to the public or Firefox browser or Open Office word processors and spread sheets. I don't care if you see it or not, they fit the pirate mentality. Information should belong to everyone.

IE is the worst, but I never tried anything else until three or four years ago. Now I'm hooked on FF

Firefox is my first choice without a doubt and i use IRON as a back-up.

I'm sure,in the end they're all pretty good,it's a matter of what you're used to

Use IE for a week and I bet you won't say it's good. Once you try Safari/FF/Chrome there is no going back.
