![]() I use Avant Browser. I tried Mozilla 1.5, but it couldn't render my site correctly despite all the hype about it adhering to W3 standards. (My site and CSS validated with W3 so it was definitely a compatibility problem on Mozilla's side.) |

![]() I largely use Opera 7 although I use IE for the radio as it doesn't work in Opera. I'd pos. use FireBird if I could get it to work |

![]() At the moment i'm using Mozilla Firebird. Absolutely amazing browser (IMO anyway |

![]() Mozilla FireBird owns your soul... bow down before it's might. If god was a browser he'd be MozFB. |

![]() Firebird! as nolp said, i love the extensions and tabbed browing and well, i just love it! before that, i used opera, which is where i got hooked on tabbed browsing. IE hates me (which i'm quite fine with) and refuses to run properly so it and netscape only get used for testing. |

![]() Been using Opera7.x for the last couple of months. Used Mozilla or Firebird before that. The thing that made me switch from Mozilla/Firebird was Operas mail system which I really like. |

![]() IE 6 and Mozilla 1.5. I ususally use IE for general browsing but I do love Mozilla. |

![]() I was a diehard IE user for a long time but I switched to Firebird a while back. It's tabbed browsing capabilities are what finally won me over. |

![]() IE6 - simple is better. I would like the tabbed thing though. Sounds pretty cool. But everything seems to work on IE, since everyone who doesn't know about checking different browsers for compatibitlity usually only tests it on IE, so therefore that is why I use it, so everything looks right. |

![]() DL: If my CSS is W3-compliant, and my site renders perfectly in Avant Browser (a souped up version of IE6) yet incorrectly in Mozilla, then logically the problem rests with Mozilla. |

![]() metahuman: quote: Not necessary. IE is famous for its "personal" and limited interpretation of the standards. I don't know if you already did, but you should check the specifactions of the CSS and the sites of some CSS advocates to see if the elements in your page are rendered correctly. You'll quickly find out that the problem do not, or extremely rarely, comes from Mozilla, and that if you want to make a Standard Compliant site, the way to go is first Mozilla ( or any other *really* Standard Compliant browser ), then the other browsers. |

![]() I use Avant primarily because it's IE6 with tabbing and it's skinnable. I'm one of those eye candy people. Gotta agree with JK, IE seems to give me a better overall experience with all sites. Mainly, I think because it is the dominent browser and designers/developers usually make it the priority browser to design for. Of course I have IE6, IE5.1,IE5.5, Netscape 6.1, Netscape 7.1, Mozilla, Firebird and opera 6.0 for testing. (Can't wait for that optool upgrade!) Firebird is cool, and I can see it really catching on, But there just seems to be greater all around support for IE6. |

![]() Bah, Firebird sucks big time. It's slow, it constantly thows up bizzare errors and it hogs memory like you wonldn't believe. I've once seen it using more than 500 Meg of swap space and I only have 5 browser windows open (Including Tabs)! I've tried switching to use firebird several times now, but I keep going back to IE because it's fast, simple and it actually works. I'd use Opera but the advertising annoys me and I'm not a fan of how the browser on a whole is laid out. |

![]() Firebird all the way. |

![]() I pretty much stick to IE6. I have most of the others installed and I use them to make sure the stuff I do looks ok in them. Lately I've been trying to get back into some Javascript coding and I really don't want to fight the cross-browser fight just yet until I know what I've got going on one browser first. |

![]() As stated in another post i do use different browsers on different computers... but when i am at home and be able to choose Mozzilla1.5 or firebird0.7. The good thin about moz is the very direct way you can search. Jut type the keywords in the adres bar, click on the search button or (even faster) click below the adresbar on the apearing box. |

![]() To those having some problems of memory with Firebird, I'd like to mention that I often surf like crazy. I mean, when I'm looking for some gaming sites I often open all the screenshots I can. Thus it's not rare to have ~50/60 URL open. Firebird 0.7 begin to crawl then ( notice that I've only ~2Gb left on a total of 51Gb ), but whenever I start to open the links like crazy with IE 6.0, 2 times over 3 it crashes and closes all the windows without any warning except the usual "Do you want to report the error to Microsoft" ... as if Microsoft would debug that. |

![]() Did you guys know that you can type "dict" plus any word in the location bar of Firebird and it will automatically search dictionary.com for that word? I.E. "dict apotheosis" will search dictionary.com for that word. |

![]() Firebird is really great and IE sucks. |
