I use Mozilla and I would never go back to IE willingly. There are still some websites that only work in IE, so I curse the makers of those sites roundly and begrudgingly use IE.

Mozilla has a popup stopper and can automatically block images from whatever (ad)servers you want. As a result, I hardly ever see banner ads, and I haven't seen a popup ad in Mozilla in months.

I see no advantage, honestly, to using IE. Unless you want a security hole on your PC.

Mozilla doesn't really have a problem with jpg files. In the most current version, when you click on a link to download a jpg file, it asks you what to do with it. It is a minor annoyance, nothing more. Inline images are displayed just fine.

See for yourself (http://www.stephenbrooks.org/browserwars/)

I have only used IE for Windows to download Netscape or Mozilla and I have never used Opera for Windows.

Apparently Mozilla users are smarter than Opera and IE users, too. (see the link)

mozilla most of the time. IE6 when I need.
pros:
mozilla: browser tab
cons: mozilla cannot view the java scripts. No matter how many times I installed it. It just will not run

I use Opera, I find it much better than IE, the only thing is some sites don't work in it. Apart from that I'm pretty pleased with it, It has alot more options that IE.

I downloaded Mozilla last night and gave it a try. Too much like Netscape. Back to IE6.

Actually its the other way around.... Netscape is like Mozilla.. Give Opera a try... You might like it...

does any one remember that netscape port where you can look at like 4 pages in a 3d cube?

Yeah, and its name escapes me right now - I do remember that you needed a pretty powerful system at the time to use it.
