Opera sucks! I used it once and hated it. I might use it when I get a Symbian phone but I'm never using it for my PC.

And Lee and Frosty, you're only a n00b if you use IE.

Both have pros and cons, my only reason for not using opera is it takes up tp 1 second longer then firefox to load. And firefox has a bajillion add ons, I use about 50 myself.

Firefox pwns.

Opera: I used opera for a while, just to try it out. It sucked. NOT open source, so I can't becausetomize it (not that I could, but others can) and has adds. Its has a commercial version. Lets think about that. If it has a commercial version, wouldn't it be better than the free one we all use? Plus, as icey said, its wickid slow.

IE: well, anyone who still uses IE is stupid. STM, you suck for having too much security on your linux :p . Tyson, explain it to your parents, they might understand if you say 'no more popups!' Or something to that degree.

Rawr!

Do it. Now. Firefox is greatness, and there is no reason not to. Unless you are on a crap computer or something. Eh, stupid windows message 'you are running low on hard disk space, would you like to clean up now?'...sounds like my mother, 'cept she would be more demanding. Ugh. I hate windows.

Hmm...

Maxthon Internet Browser software is a powerful tabbed browser with a highly becausetomizable interface. It is based on the Internet Explorer browser engine (your most likely current web browser) which means that what works in the IE browser will work the same in Maxthon tabbed browser but with many additional efficient features like...

Tabbed Browsing Interface
Mouse Gestures
Super Drag&Drop
Privacy Protection
AD Hunter
RSS Reader
Google Bar Support
External Utility Bar
Skinning
^^
There are some screenshots here: http://www.maxthon.com/I'mages_screens/screenshots.htm

I'm guessing what would turn most people off is:

It is based on the Internet Explorer browser engine

But I've tried Firefox and I can't really tell much of a difference >.>

I would probably say its like a mix betweeb IE and Firefox

I usually use IE because I dont really have a good reason to change.  Once in a while I will pop into another browser if I am having trouble with a website... but mostly I just use IE.  I know website compatibility really isnt much of an issue between brosers anymore... but IE is still the most compatible as far as I am concerned.  Most security issues can be handled by critical updates / not being a stupid user opeining stuff they shouldnt.  Ummm... but really no browser "Rox my Sox", so I didnt vote.  A browser is a browser... nuff said.  Oh ya... I like my google toolbar too :-P.

pro to internet explorer, it loaded every website I ever wanted to visit, properly, downloaded everything without a problem.

CON to firefix, half the ti'me it loads pages I want, it loads the si'mple stuff, some javascript stuff it starts failing at, and it reads some codes wrong / differently than others.

and what the CENSORED is wrong with MICROSOFT??! without them we wouldn't be at this stage on computers right now. Microsoft isn't a group of bastards, you have no reason to hate them

And IE probably downloaded a ton of spyware aswell.
