I have a PC, with windows 7, and a Macbook. I use IE on the PC, and Safari Leopard on the Mac.

I like the Mac better, but it's time for a new one.

I'm a Chrome girl through & through! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Before that I was a Firefox girl and it's still my backup choice.

I've got several browsers on my Windows laptop: IE (which I never use), Firefox, Chrome and Opera. I usually use Firefox because of the cool add-ons, but sometimes switch to Chrome or Opera.
I use Opera mini on my smartphone.

I was afraid people would think you meant a search engine like Google or Bing.

I like having multiple browsers to choose from. I forget to update the ones I don't use often, though. Chrome is really fast. Opera is very good, too, but I've had conflicts between it and security software on the PC.

I use Firefox, but occasionally have to resort to Internet Explorer when a website isn't Firefox friendly, which thankfully, isn't all that often!

I know quite a lot of people who use Chrome.

I use Chrome as my main option and then firefox as a backup. I deleted IE off my laptop the moment I got another browser downloaded!

IE6 was a security nightmare, IE7 was fine but super slow with next to no plugins, IE8 didn't add much of anything, but IE9 is pretty sweet and to date has scored highest on malware resistance against Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

I use IE9, Chrome, and Firefox, since I have different auto-saved google profiles on each browser, and I don't like logging in and logging off all the time.


IE9 is definitely the fastest for flash and java content though.

I thonk IE is the most used, isn't it? I was just reading about that somewhere. I use Firefox and have yet to try IE9 but will do so soon.

Yes, but its losing ground steadily, and I think that was only because its what comes preinstalled on Windows.

I used to recommend that my users steer clear of IE and use Firefox for greater system security, but Microsoft finally got things right with IE9, so I can recommend it again.

Took long enough!

I used to use Chrome but after awhile it started lagging and freezing up and I was getting page errors. I use Firefox now and don't get any of that anymore. I used to get a loading error every time I clicked on a link on the forums here, but since moving to FF I haven't got an error once.

I use Firefox. Two of my husband's friends are huge computer gurus, and they say to steer clear of IE, so we don't use it.

I use Firefox and have for a few years. I have it on my home computer, which uses Windows 7, and I have it at work on Linux with a Windows simulator.

I avoid IE like the plague - never had good experiences with it.

I also just rememebered the days of Netscape Navigator for some reason
