Everything is much better than IE. It is the worst browser ever. Doesn't comply with internet standards, is slow and stupid. I use firefox or chrome, Firefox is very handy with its addons, but don't go too far, I did and mine is a bit wieldy to use now. Chrome also has addons but not as good. Opera is also excellent, the fastest browser. Safari is not too bad either.

Maybe IE is better in security(But I seriously doubt Microsoft is good in this
) But when compared to speed, stability etc Firefox always rules. and I suppose today's AV softwares are good enough to stop bad downloads. At least avast does the job for me

I wouldn't so sure of Firefox totally in the speed department. Yes, its fast enough, but it definitely doesn't feel the fastest. Besides its memory footprint is huge (Or at least is in my PC).Maybe IE is better in security(But I seriously doubt Microsoft is good in this

I mostly use FF except for when I have to stream Window Media Player, for some reason it does not work on FF for me.
Also there are many other applications I use which are IE only, so no choice there

I prefer FF. I've never got Chrome to work properly and I've tried it on at least 4 different computers with completely different configurations and form factors (desktop, laptop, netbook, etc.). I keep getting the "Oops! Chrome could not load this page" which seem to be some sort of time-out issue, but they happen way too often for it to be usable, at least for me.
I used to be a religious IE6 user back in the formative years of FF. I think Microsoft just completely screwed their browser up from IE7 onwards. The user experience just isn't the same.

Isn't Opera the same company as Netscape or something like that? I'm pretty sure they have some relation.

No. Netscape became Mozilla, but is itself owned by AOL now. Opera are unrelated.

Oh sorry, I knew Netscape had some relation with one of the modern browsers, somehow I thought it was Opera. Thanks for clearing that up.

no google chrome in the poll
anyway in my opinion google chrome is by far the best browser it is convienient and fast
ie 8 is just absolute useless.it is slow and slower than ie 7
google chrome also looks better than firefox
it also fully supportive of youtube it organises you tube in a better way
