Which browser do you use

I'm just curious to see which one most people prefer, and which one seems to be the fastest and most reliable browser available.

Internet Explorer 6.0, but with Netcaptor, which like MyIE2, adds tabs and a few other features like ad-blocking.

Mozilla...Opera has proved EXTREMELY slow every time I've tried it...and IE crashes every 5 minutes.

Opera all the way. If I find a site that doesn't like it, I use Mozilla. If it's still no good, then (groan) IE.

Mozilla 1.1 -- I find myself scratching uncontrolably if I browse with IE.

IE6 has run well for me on everything I've put it on (but then so did IE 3, 4, & 5 . . .) I use mozilla in Linux. Very nice too. Haven't tried Opera yet.

Hmm... I'm surprised IE is in the lead so far. I thought that Opera or Mozilla would be.

I use Mozilla pretty much all the time now after switching to Opera a few months ago. The last two builds of Opera were crash prone and slow in my experience.

I'm on IE, but it's nice to see a great browser like Mozilla holding its own.

IE is ahead in the poll because it's bundled with Windows, the others aren't.
Netscape/Opera et al are just too cumbersome/slow on most machines, and the only real alternative is Mozilla.
IE6 can run circles around NS6, Opera isn't free, and Mozilla has no advertising budget, but word is spreading slowly

Opera slow? Not here - it's faster than IE or Mozilla. It's free if you can tolerate an ad banner - which doesn't bother me at all at 1280x1024.

ie came with windows, never had a problem so I have stuck with it. I like speed though, and I hear much about something else being faster I'll likely try it out. but so far ie6 feels really fast to me.
