I try firefox off and on, but the fact of the matter is that I found avant browser first. It has tabs, flash blocker, image blocker, enhanced privacy features and many other things. Most of them I don't use. I use the tabs. I'm not sure what on earth the Firefox thinks standard's support is when I can code a page that validates as strict XHTML, count out my pixels to the pixel, use absolute positioning, and validated CSS in a separate file for my design and layout and still not have it line up the way it's supposed to. This fact has driven me back to using tables for my important websites because I lack the time to fool around with the superior standards support. Regardless, I respect your decision and its a good one. The same as mine. Do I have an experience with firefox that I can't live without. Nope. Although, I'm forced to use it at work. I’m like you.

If you like IE use it. Same for Firefox. I'm on a mac where IE was discontinued in 2001 so I'm using Firefox. Tabs save me a bunch of time when i have to preview a bunch of sites or pages at once. The only thing is, Flash makes mac Firefox freeze up. hmm considering 90% of the internet population used IE, I don’t see the big debate. If you like IE use it. Same for Firefox.

There are similar lists for IE. The reality is that I’ll always use the browser that’s most productive and time saving for me.

I’m happy to switch to another browser as soon as it doesn’t cost me any time.

IE is my primary browser because, well, I'm comfortable with it and it works for me. Firefox I use for when I need tabs...like when doing hosting support, etc, where I need to have many windows open. Or when I'm doing web development and need to check compatibility. Both browsers have their pluses and minuses...you choose the one that suits your browsing habits and that you're comfortable using...simple. I never try to convince anyone to use any tool over another if the tool they use works for them. ;) Ha…good post. I actually use both.

I dont subscribe to the browser wars. I dont even subscribe to the OS/Computer wars. (PC vs Mac etc). Competition is good. Otherwise they get complacent. Choice is good. I always say use what you like but keep an open mind. I'm using Maxthon because i like the Tab browsing. I tried FireFox and it crashed. I also didnt like how the download manager plonked everything onto my desktop by default. I still use IE (some programs open IE rather than "default browser" and so i just use it if thats the case. The next IE will have tab browsing. See, competition... New features to keep up. I'll most likely go back to IE when that happens. Cheers Jeremy,

As a Firefox user I can tell you: none of the above listened tools are of interest for me. I could go into detail, why they don't bear any use for me. Am I setting up a trap too? I don't think so. The fact, that I find Swiss Army knifes cute, does not mean I need one or I even own one.
