FireFOX is best cuz all the good features of IE and Opera can be downloaded as "extensions" and "add-on" in FireFox.
Heh, I'll tell you the corollary: Opera is best cuz all the features that are downloaded as "extensions" and "add-on" is already present by default in Opera. :p

correction not "all the features" but only few. I can mention few features thats only available in the form of addons for fx.

firefox is still leading after a number of hours :D
I use opera sometimes but I use Safari more often. I have to admit, d/ling files from the web, Opera is blazing.

^^ Dude, its the vote for money scandal... firefox brought it from delhi... Do you know how many things firefox has copied from opera? They saw that opera was free! and so they made firefox free too!

^^ Almost every browser is free.
and firefox is supported by most websites. Opera cannot open www.yahoo.com.hk
Though I like the mail client.

^^^ Every browser has pros and cons. Even I am a "Macboy" will not "LOVE" Safari. Every browser IMO is missing something other browser has.

^^It surely does open http://hk.yahoo.com/
I use Opera but it lacks a major featuire all its life: The anility to queue downloads like "Max no of active downloads" other DM provides. I have no idea why the devs havent work on this ,its not as if it is an exotic feature. Its damn essential and its been missing for years............

Well it opens but in Chinese it tells you the page will show "everything" if you use Firefox,Internet Explorer or Safari.

^that is because of browser sniffing :mad:
1. right click > edit site pref > network tab > change 'identify as opera' TO 'mask as firefox'
THEN select cookies tab > select cookie > click delete .
THEN Reload
it opens then

^^Opera just for speed dialling? You can get the same feature on firefox too using an addon.

Opera for forums and stuff and heavy browsing. Very bandwidth friendly for those having slow connections like me.
Firefox. Slower but very good with blogging stuff. Great spellchecker. Wordpress+Firefox is damn good a combination. :)

Can the mods add Google Chrome on to the list of options on the poll? It's quite an interesting browser.

i use different browsers for different purposes
Firefox especially when to bock ads and flash files,scripts an when to customised browsing
Opera - i like the command buttons and image style-cached images and noimage options....especiallly love for its speed
IE-use for banking or for secured browsing
In my opinion FF is an near all rounder.....

Fire Fox is the best browser and its security is the toughest with noScript add-on.
