Default What browser(s) do you use?

I just started testing out the Firebird browser (Phoenix) Saturday evening. I also have IE 5.5 and Opera 7.11. The IE has been working rather slow recently and especially today when I was at Yahoo checking my emails. Opera does not always seem connect to alot of sites all the time for me even when I was just there.

One noticable problem I had when using the Opera here at GT was it could not show my sig properly as it would not move. Firebird has so far displayed my sig and pages here and at another forum better then the Opera 7.3, 7.10 and 7.11 version(free versions with banners) that I have tried.

What browser(s) do you use and why do you use it.

I like to use Netscape 7 when possible. I hate IE because it's too slow, and hopefully when I get a new motherboard soon, I can test out some more browsers.

Opera 6, 7 and Moz/Firebird in both Win32 and *nix.

They both have their strong points. I prefer the speed and UI of Opera, but Firebird wins on standard compatability and all of that.

IE is just too slow, unstable, non-standards compliant and lacking in features to make it even a contender to eighth place. Heck, I even prefer Lynx to IE these days.

Crazybrowser and I love it. Tabbed browsing and popup killer, 2 features that I can't browse without.

Hey GameMaster I guess Firebird(0.6) and Opera isn't good enough for your MAc.

I just recently started using Mozilla Firebird. It is so great, I can't believe it was made from Netscape @_@.
