I voted for mozilla out of those 3, but Safari beats them all hands down.

I like Mozilla better than IE, but I've never used Opera.

Never used opera, Im undecided on the other two. I use them both equally. My homepage for mozilla is pcmech, so whenever i wanna come here i use mozilla, most of the othertime i use IE.

The other nice thing about Mozilla is the popup blocking. Works good. Hardly ever use IE anymore.

IE is getting better and I'm sure sooner or later that it'll have tabbed browsing. In SP2 it'll have a pop-up blocker. M$ will rule all, forever. Beware, it steals others ideas.

Why do you need IE to play Steam?

And what is Safari?

I don't care what enhancements they add to IE it's still Swiss cheese. Mozilla and Firebird for me.

Safari was developed by apple and the open source group that develops Konqueror. It the fastest browser available right now on the mac platform and includes features such as snap-back that arent available anywhere else.

Hardly out... you just need to install Crazybrowser... it's IE with a few added touches.... including a popup killer.

Best browser for me

I am using "IRIDER" and love it!! It is the way a browser should be, fast, NO POP-UPS, memory control and nice to look at. It cost 29.95 for lifetime, but well worth every penny. Check it out http://www.irider.com, I think you will like it. Maybe IE & Netscape needs to look at it too.

I perfer opera the most. Quick for dial-up, and includes a pop-up stopper. Don't get more than one or two pop ups the whole time I'm online.

With the new opera version, I have yet to come across a page that needs IE to run certain scripts and applets.

"SnapBack to it
Safari delivers the attention to detail you expect from Apple. Take the space-saving progress bar integrated directly in the address field, for instance. Or the innovative SnapBack technology. SnapBack works like a breadcrumb trail to lead you back to where you started. The very nature of the Web leads you from one page to the next and before you know it, you’ve wandered far afield. The SnapBack button returns you to the point where you last typed a URL or selected a bookmark" (or marked a page for SnapBack).

IE all the way.

I use Mozilla for pop-up free browsing but it still doesn't display well some pages.

I hated Opera.

I have noticed that too. I may need to try Opera. And I hate this SBC Yahoo browser that came with my DSL.
