Rep Power: 2 | Well i would say that FireFox is better and since the date i had been using FireFox i have never ever used Internet Explorer and as of my personal view i would say that IE is the most crappy web browser till date. |

Rep Power: 2 | Personally I am using Mozilla Firefox and I am really pleased with its speed and easy-to-use navigation , although Im using some times also Opera and these are the best browsers in my opinion |

Rep Power: 2 | FireFox advantages: more ease of use features; more secure. disadvantages: can be slow at times Internet Explorer advantages: fast disadvantages: any day now we'll see yet another Microsoft vuln that affects IE; IE crashing can require a reboot Opera advantages: Fast and more secure. disadvantages: Still has some misc. problems with javascript/java-enabled sites and how about " safari browser " ( product from apple ). already have windows xp/vista version.... does anyone have experience ? |

Rep Power: 2 | I like to use Fire Fox as it is the best internet browser i have used till date and more over the best thing i like about it is that it is much more stable then other browsers specially as compared to Internet Explorer. |

| Platinum Member | I agree with all of you. However, one of the biggest advantages of IE is that IE is the browser of choice amongst corporates and almost all web applications are written and tested for IE. There are a quite a few web applications as well as Enterprise Applications that do not work well (or at all) in other browsers.

Rep Power: 2 | I personally prefer internet explorer to ff for my general browsing, as i feel it is more faster and more easy to use (i belong to the older class of internet, LOL), but will sometimes feel frustrated with the fact that IE crashes very frequently too and no credibility is there. While i use Firefox mostly for secure browsing! |

If it is crashing more often for you, try the following: - try to upgrade to IE7, if you have not done already - apply windows updates regularly - turn off many "silly" browser helper objects (BHOs) - even Google/Yahoo Tool bar is not required for IE7 | |

Rep Power: 2 | I would like to go with FireFox as it is much better browser then the Internet Explorer. I had been using it for a long time and since then i have never ever used Internet Explorer but still some sites are not compatable with FF so i use IE for those but this happens rarely. |

Rep Power: 2 | For me firefox is the best browser and this is because it is stable (as everyone else has said) and another thing is that it is much better looking then Internet explorer. |

Rep Power: 2 | I like to use both of these internet browser and as many member have said that IE not stable then i would not agree with this point as IE is a stable Internet browser and also there are many skins available to chnage the look at this browser. |

| Gold Member | FF.........all the hacking legends / computer geeks prefer FF or Opera. some how IE 7/6 also copy of the FF to gr8 extent. (the tab concep, Pop up blocker). ya but FF consumes more system resources at the begining than the IE, so it takes a bit more time to load for the very first time.....but after that its supersonic. mayn webies whcih doesn't work on the IE are just matter of few seconds for FF....atleast i have experienced that |
