Which browser do you use?
I've been reading all the browser hype lately. Just wondering how browser popularity is spread among PCMECH users. So please do not turn this into a debate on which is better. I will ask a moderator to close this if it heads that way

It took me a while to check it out, but the tabbed browsing of Firefox has me hooked. Especially useful with my slow dial-up, as I can easily download the next link in a new tab while reading the previous page.

That tabbed browsing extension from the website really makes the experience a lot better. It lets tabs use their full potential.

I use Firefox. I think the extensions in Firefox are almost as important as the browser itself.

At the moment I'm usign firefox. Whether or not I switch back to IE will be determind on how well MS does with IE7. There 's supposed to be a beta out by this summer. The final release will come before longhorn unlike what MS previously stated that it wouldn't come til longhorns release.

I've been using Opera for almost a year now. I love it. Won't use IE unless absolutely necessary.

As always, Maxthon. Nothing better IMO.
