In the office I use IE 7 & in the home I use FF 3.
The reason y I used IE 7 in office is that when I use FF3 to open few sites, I get pop ups saying plugin is required. That irritates me a lot. I cannot install those plugin as I dont have sufficient admin rights.
I hardly use IE @ home...Now & then I use Chrome @ home...

Do you want to remove IE or do you want to make Firefox as the default browser? The later is easier to do and that's what most would ask.

Yeah! Even if you never use Internet Explorer it is still good to have around. The latest IE versions 7 and 8 beta are almost as good as Firefox in speed.

Its Firefox for me too but in the last week or so Google's newly launched browser Chrome has taken me by surprise. I was fascinated to see the lightning speed of the same and every other things you could wish are there. Though this is still very new to me and could not figure out how to get in the tool bars. IE has been long dumped by me and if there was a possibility I would have made it uninstall from my system.

I would love to hear about the others experience on Chrome though.

It's not any difficult uninstalling Internet Explorer. Google Chrome is good but needs more work. Wait for stable release before trying. Anyway did you tried IE 8 beta. Give it a try.

Opera is really fast in comparison to IE and Firefox

If u dont believe just check out opera 10 Alpha

Features like speed dial mouse gestures and speaking abilities are some features laking in Firefox

OPERA 10 ALPHA IS the best

You can get all those features using addons in Firefox.

I use Opera 10 alpha for speed browsing. But Opera doesn't support many websites. So I use Firefox for them.

Firefox addons are better than the in-built features in opera.

I don't remember all the sites. But here is one. Panda: Online Antivirus

Opera have no addons like Firefox. It have Widgets you can use. But unlike Firefox addons, Opera widgets run as separate programs. Firefox have so many addons because it's open source.
