I've been using Firefox for the past few months. I got sick of the Operation Aborted pop up on IE.

The only thing with Firefox is you have to download plug ins for Flash player etc.

On windows - ie. On Mac - Safari. Iv always found the standard browser to be best as the 3rd party one always seem to fuck up every so often, like a site not showing properly or something.

Chrome is quick and tidy. Firefox as a close second. IE has always been a piece of shit.

The only reason I don't use Chrome is because it doesn't (well it didn't) have a FlashGot alternative.

Firefox for me. Only thing that pisses me off about it is that it wont work with "Copy Img BBCode" in my garage, got to switch to IE to do that.

Only because you either set it to display history as default, or pressed Ctrl H. Normally it displays your 8 favourite sites.

Unless youporn is one of your 8 favourites of course
