I'm interested to see what one people use, as the numbers of firefox users should be higher than elsewhere

EDIT: Changed the poll

Shame on you for not including Opera in the poll! Opera is a great browser but it lags sometimes when loading videos and flash stuff.
I tried out the Firefox 3 RC1 and I was blown away. I can't wait for its final release in June. What kills me about Firefox 2 is its huge memory hogability and sometimes it lags randomly.
I never use IE7 but I gotta give props to Microsoft for its sleek interface.

Internet Explorer 8 + FireFox RC1

I don't have Safarai but I've tried it.

Reason I use IE8 due to manually updating Windows (Can't do it in Firefox) D: And also because it has a 'change versions' on it.

Safari is a speed demon. The load times on that browser are FAST. However, the security on that browser is soso...

Why is the poll only open for people that use all 3 browsers?

[Waris]

LOL, I just noticed that

Firefox doesn't have a set interface, it changes with the platform involved (Vista has different theme from OS X, XP, Linux and vice versa), and you can get themes for it, what no other major browser can do.

For some reason I cant vote but Firefox 2 is great. I don't think I could go back to IE after using it.

[Dauth]

You, know I don't think I can be bothered to answer this question for the third time on ES.

Will end with a bulk of FF users, some IE (windows update) a few Opera and the Mac users on Safari

[CodeCat]

Well since the poll isn't working, I'll just say here. I've used FF since version 1, and FF3 since beta 2.

[Dauth]

Works for me Code, I think he's added the 'I don't' option.

The OS specific themes are for Firefox 3. And Opera can get additional skins, same for Avant Browser, and Maxthon ... loads of browsers can use skins, all except for IE 7.

The only purpose of Internet Explorer is to download Firefox.

[Pav:3d]

and then firefox is to download Opera

when you are absolutely sick of FF crashing

[CodeCat]

I don't need a browser to download Firefox. I just use telnet.

Opera isn't really security wise...

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

FF3 for home/laptop

IE6 for work

[Prophet of the Pimps]

FF3 Rc1 and a Safari user

personally
FF > Safari > Opera >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IE

[Waris]

Is Safari that good now? The first time I used it I wasn't impressed at all, tho it happened more than a year ago...

[Crazykenny]

Mozilla ftw!

It is and considering my Passionate hatred of Apple product that's quite a compliment to Safari. Apple really worked on safari and is my second choice in terms of browsing. Only thing i hate is the theme and lack of customisation. Otherwise it is pretty solid.

[Waris]

Good to hear. Imma giving it another run, then

The Change versions is only for the Beta, and won't be in the final release. There would be some websites that would have difficulty with IE8 so they made IE8 to work like IE7 on those websites.
