Probably couldn't carry on competing with FireFox, so now this browser is completely free!

Yes and no, I'm not switching because I like Firefox's simple easy to use interface, and it's security. Opera is really secure also, but I hate change.
It's really like asking me if cake is better than cookies, it all boils down to personal preference.

FireFox appeals more to me, but Opera does have more features.

I see alot of love on these boards for Firefox but I have no idea why. My sisters boyfriend installed Firefox on my brothers computer and it just went to shit from there on. All kinds of popups and shit would come up when browsing.
And the other thing I dont understand is why you guys dont like IE. I get almost next to none on popups and shit with IE. I never have any problems with IE, why do you guys hate on it so much Image file not present in the recovered backup

I hate IE as it is very prone and vunerabble to viruses and adware, I love FireFox as it's interface is so simple, never causes me trouble, never get popups, stable etc. Maybe your sisters BF had a boutt of bad luck. Anyway, I'm sure HGF displays crappy for you with IE, as IE doesn't read a compliant header. I need to add fucking bugfixes on a skin that uses correct code.
Gets my back up.

I love firefox, hate opera, hate IE, but am willing to try out IE7 to see how the features work and stuff, but im pretty sure it will suck.

Netscape runs too slowly
Opera has more then I need
IE is prone to everything on the net
Firefox is perfect in every way
Only reason I still have a link to IE in my Start Menu is for doing testing when I'm making a site.
