Internet explorer doesn't even have a bookmarks bar! Firefox 2 is the fastest. (But I like firefox3 better)

Firefox 3 is faster than 2, actually. Not that great of a difference, but still...

I repeat.
Internet Explorer is FASTER

But Firefox is safer. I use Firefox for safety. Buckle up safety first.

I can show you a couple of tests that prove that wrong. Tests, personal exprerience and common sense. IE IS slower.

Also, Firefox is not completely secure, too. It has a couple of holes, some going as back as FF 2.0.

Umm, my favorite is either Firefox or SongBird. SongBird is made by Mozilla, and it integrates an audio/video player into your web browser, and you cna import your iTunes library into it. I find it very useful, and it has a cool interface. The only problem is it is a beta so it is a little buggy. But, your choice is your choice. Different people have different opinions. My opinion is go with Mozilla's browsers, and that IE and Opera are to simple :)

Fasterfox
Makes FireFox so much faster.

I rolled back to Firefox 2 from 3, most of my add-ons (I have like 20 of them) aren't compatible with Firefox 3 yet. I'll go back once most of them are ported.

So overall, here's a list of my favorite browsers.

1. Firefox and Songbird (tie)
2. Safari for Windows
3. Opera
4. Seamonkey
5. IE

In my experience, Opera is slower than Firefox, Songbird and Safari, but maybe that's just because I'm using FasterFox.
If you need me, I'll be on KKF or Brofist Forums. >.<

Uuuugh, I hate the new version. It went and changed all my keyboard shortcuts on me. I'm a sucker for updates though, so I kept it. I use the Lix 1.5 Skin for it, so I wouldn't know about that last part.

Opera FTW. The only problem I have with it is that Pandora.FM doens't fully work on it.

Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.

So long, farewell.
