I loved IE, but my computer started catching countless viruses and now it refuses to open up for me, so I've been having to use FireFox... bloody viruses...

I slowly went from IE to firefox. For a while you had to use both since not everything would work in firefox, but that hasn't happened to me in a very long time. The biggest reason I love firefox is the tabs (which IE has now) and the mouse gestures (an extension). I love just drawing a line with my mouse to go back or forward or do anything else you can think of in your browser. There are so many other handy little extensions out there that really keep me tied to firefox now.

IE is a joke.

Firefox for one reason: Ad-Block. with the automatically updating filters, i haven't seen an online ad in years. plus you can use Remove-It-Permanently to clean up any dead areas and make a page look as it if never had any ads to begin with

IE 7, but I use FF sometimes because of the color picker plug in.

I use FireFox mostly. I keep trying to like the new IE7, but it's interface is really awkward I find and it's rendering "feels" slow. I suppose I just got used to Firefox and now am too picky.

I tried Opera but found it was like IE7, top heavy and really awkward to use.
