Survey: What Web Browser Do You Use?

2007-11-21webbrowsing.jpg

Your browser can say a lot about you. You could use the old standby, out of laziness or desire for stability. Or maybe you'll withstand a little frustration, just to use someone else's creative brainchild. We've tried Flock and Shiira recently, but still haven't abandoned our old faithful.

Sure, we can look at our web stats and see how you're getting to our site, but we wondered what web browser do you use? More importantly, why do you use it? Let us know your web browser philosophy in the comments.

I'm a religious Firefox user-- it's free, has plenty of widgets, and is easy to use. I also admire their open source content, allowing folks to constantly improve upon it.

Firefox! But only at home. I did use Opera a few years back at work--I liked it--but we're not allowed to download software unless approved, so that bit the dust.

I've been using firefox for years, but I am interested in playing around with Flock when I get the gumption to download it.

I typically use Firefox, but I've just started playing with Shiira at home. Its got some cool features and special effects built in for Mac OS X 10.4. At work, on Windows, I ran into a strange 3D browser called SpaceTime 3D. It represents tabs as little windows floating around in ether, and can stack them and do other neat little effects on. I don't know if its super-useful, but it looks cool.

I think this poll should have had a separate category for IE. Firefox and IE shouldn't be the same choice.

"I wouldn't have put Safari and Firefox in the same category," says Stacy the Firefox user.

No option for Opera?? Man...Opera gets no respect.

I have Firefox also but only use it for the handful of sites that will ot work properly with Opera. Firefox feels really slow after using Opera.
