Which Browser do you use?

Any Firefox users out there? I've been using it for @2 months - works for 95% of what I need - and no spyware gets dropped onto my PC.

Just curious what people are using out there...

I started using Firefox until I realized it wouldn't let me access my online banking, etc., so I got tired of it.

I use IE. But when I go to a site with allot of pop-ups I must use Firefox.

I've had Firefox for about a week now and I really like it!

Surprised...

If I remember correctly, Firefox does not do 'ActiveX'. Most financial institutions do not use ActiveX for security reasons. But then again, the 'employee portal' for the company I work for uses it (big financial institution) - which means I still keep IE around to connect to work. For everything else, I use Firefox - seems a bit quicker to me as well.

I use FireFox 99% of the time. It works great, even for financial and stock trading sites. No problems here. I only use IE to run Windows update.

Plus I love tabbed browsing and the ability to open a folder of bookmarks at once. Takes up less system resources than IE too.

Safari, baby!

Though I do like (and occasionally use) FireFox.
