Firefox 3

I think FF is the best browser around.
I really enjoy the speed of it, and the scripting and DOM features it has :)
Def blows IE out the water.
One thing though is the whole domain login thing... thats annoying.

In FF 1.5.0.7 I just double click in a open space there at the tabs and it opens a new one for me. Although I still need to figure out how to open one, quick quick, when there is just one open though :o

um, press Ctrl-T or click on a link with the middle mouse button or scroll wheel. :)

Opera V9.5 Beta is sitting at 71MB with around 20 tabs open including various forums,gmail,you tube,ftp :)
FF has never been my cup of tea.
Loving the search everything and anything feature in Opera:)

Last I used Opera, it did not have a proper ad-block. Has it changed recently?

I love FF. I HATE companies whose websites don't work on FF.

It's more a case of there are more sites that don't work on IE (unless of course it's like MS update which only runs on IE). When I test my sites I always make sure it runs on FF. I have more problems with IE compatibility than FF though. Usually layout issues, which are really annoying to fix.

I tried Opera, but I hate the fact that it can't remember all my passwords, and it's two buttons + click to open in a new tab by default... I'm lazy :p...

Opera has been able to remember all my passwords - and the wand is awesome :D Ive been using opera for about a year now and i think it has crashed about twice. Before, i was using firefox which seemed to crash quite regularly :(

Im running one instance with 4 tabs and the memory usage is 50mb, so it isnt too bad.
 
Its about developers who dont know about xhtml and open standards. Too many ms propheads out there.
 
I took the plunge and decided to test RC1 since yesterday. So far it seems to be noticeably quicker than FF2. Current memory usage is sitting at 81MB with 7 tabs open, and the start-up time is almost instantaneous.

oh, just reallised its the always remember password addon that allows ff to remember passwords for those sites. I also miss live bookmarks - opera dosent hold a candle to ff in that dept imo. Pity tho cos i like opera, its pretty fast.
 
1. Opera
2. Firefox - when opera doesn't work
3. IE - MS updates
 
Tried FF 2 years ago and never looked back!
FF3 using 90mb mem, with 10 tabs and +- 6 add ons running

one thing though, is there anyway to stretch the tab bar so that there would be 2 lows of tabs? so I won't have to scroll side to side so much?

btw using Thunderbird mail manager with my gmail accounts, Brilliant!
 
Just upgraded to 3.05b today ( upgraded ubuntu to 8.04 at last :) ). The smart bookmarks are very interesting, as well as the tagging - though I still need to figure that out.
 
i don't care if it leaked like a sieve! i switched to it when they released it and never looked back!
 
Used FF3 RC1 in Vista. Very responsive. On Fedora 9, FF3.0b5 is as responsive as the Swiftfox equivalent as well.
 
FF3 is very good. I have had it for only 24 hours (20 June 2008) and I am full of kudos for the programmers. I just love the Fox eating the "e". And so it should. For me, I will be sticking to FF.
