Was using IE6 due to habit, but too many sites were playing up including OOF.

Tried IE8 - that is horrid, and when I go to a site I want to use that site not the address bar - terrible with search engines.

So now using Firefox it seems to work fine

FF here too.....`haven`t got along well with any of the recent I.E`s.....I tried I.E 8 in my virtual PC 'sandbox' but it seemed very resource hungry. ;)

I use FF, and have for years.


Nowt to do with alleged security, or anything like that

Just find it smaller, quicker, and nicer to use.

Also has some nice addons I find help me out.


only revert to IE for incompatible things, like EPC

I have to use a wide selection for testing lots of stuff, but when I'm sat at home, I tend to use IE7 on Vista and IE8 on W7.

IE6 too long in the tooth now.

FF3, bit too sluggish for me to use day to day, and is inconsistent in its interface. Thats before the rendering issues. My preferred X11 browser though.

Chrome - more bugs that Lybian coffee shop. Would never use as primary browser in its current state.

Opera, well, its rubbish. Safari, OK on mac, but like all crApple software, poor on Windows.

Anything else, just avoid!
