Mostly Firefox, but when Chrome implements adblock I will be all over that.

When at work, IE6. At home, my PS3 (which is why I can't post from there).

Mostly Firefox, but sometimes IE and (shudder) AOL, because I've had my AOL email address for over ten years.

Just Firefox 3, you won't see me touch IE with a 10 foot pole.

Firefox. I've done enough development work/beta testing for it through some of my high school programs that I'd sort of feel hypocritical if I used another one. ;)

IE? Ts. Whoever still uses this piece of crap has either no choice or has just no idea.

I use Opera. I'd switch to Firefox (better support and gimmicks), but Opera's navigation abilities are just too comfortable.

Firefox. I tried Chrome once, but after it installed additional software without permission, I'm never going back to it, even if they do implement an adblocker.

I use Firefox as my main browser, but I use Opera and (shudders) IE for testing.

Well, you would be...but you're advocating using Safari. Everyone who is anyone knows Firefox is the cool one.

Likewise. Dunno why Netflix only works on IE, but *shrug* at least it works.

Firefox has an add-on called "IE Tab" that allows you to run IE thru a firefox tab. Just pick which sites you want to run on IE and it will do it automatically.

BTW, Netflix on-demand is teh awesome.

I'm stuck with IE at work. I used Netscape at home. Since so many here seem to think Firefox is da bomb, I've been thinking of updating to it. I have one (probably stupid) question, though. Is Firefox set up for tabbed browsing? At first, I didn't like it, but now I'm hooked. If I hear that Firefox does have tabbed browsing, I'm gonna hafta join the cool-kids club, I think. ;)

Most definitely it has tabbed browsing; one of its claims to fame is that it was one of the first to do so. So yes, you're gonna hafta force yourself to be cool, whether you want to or not.

Really? That is awesome, I will have to check it out.

And Netflix is one of the greatest inventions ever. I watch so many more movies, and cool old ones that I would otherwise likely not get to watch.

FF actually was originally based off of Netscape's code. So if you like Netscape, you'll likely love FF. As was said, it originated tabbed browsing.

I use Firefox at home, Internet Explorer at work and my parents' home, and I used Safari at my last job (where we used Apple computers).

On topic: I use Explorer Mobile and FF. I've been playing around with Chrome, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Note: If anyone knows a way to get FF on a blackjack II, lemme know.

Firefox as much as I can. at home and at work. I use Opera when I must (Wii and iPod) but if I could have Firefox, I would.

work tried to keep me from Firefox some time back, but I managed to work around our IT department's shenanigans and use it with impunity now.

I use Interweb Exploder when I have to recreate customer issues, bt for no other purpose.
