Web browsers
I've recently written an article for a magazine comparing a few web browsers, and found myself drawn to Opera. It's got so much more to offer than IE, so I thought I'd see what people are like best.

Like none best, but use IE 6.<something> and a version of Opera.

Liked best of the ones you know, then. But tell us which ones you know, too.

I prefer IE to Netscape because it just seems to work faster and Netscape seems to skip badly when I use my mouse scroll, the window doesnt scroll smoothly at all. Netscape does have some nice features however, and I am going to download Opera since I didn't go to work today and have some free time.

I like Mozilla best, Opera as No 2. When I have a choice I avoid both IE and Netscape.

I've tried Mozilla before and didn't really like it. Seemed like a cheaper version of Netscape to me. I have downloaded Opera and I must say it is very spiffy. Lots of options I dont have time to look through right now but I'm not gonna uninstall it like I did with Mozilla.

I've tried all of the above, and a few others. I like MSN8 best followed close by IE6, Juno has a nice browser as well. Detest Yahoo.

Maybe I should have placed Mozilla in the list, but I thought everybody knew Netscape uses Mozilla code.

See, I have no use for all these options... give me nice vanilla IE and I'm fine.

I'll stick with IE. Why? Because I'm complacent and feel no need to look around for other types.

Internet Explorer all the way!
Well, ecept from 1995 to 1999 when Netscape was just SOOO much more stable

Unfortunately Opera cannot display my ISP home page so it looks like I will stay with IE.

I've only used IE, so I abstain the vote. I might try something else after seeing the outcome of this poll.
