So it seems to be a long debate as to which browser is better or more useable, etc. So which one do you guys prefer to use? I find myself (as a mac user, former PC user) going back and forth between Safari and Firefox. I really love the new features of the Safari 4 beta but Firefox has been something I used since my PC days and the Stumble button is God's gift to the internet hands down. I'm a computer information systems major so I guess you could say this stuff intrigues me so let me know what you guys think!

I've been using firefox on several computers for at least 4 years now.  I don't know about a lot of technical issues, but it works fine, and most importantly I have never contracted any viruses or had any computer problems since I started using it.

I'm a fan.

My only fear of Firefox is that it becomes so popular that it becomes the main focus for terdlings who spend their days trying to break things.

Lol, TP for the good laugh... right in the middle of my BIOS course.

Opera is my go-to browser (PC user). Fast, secure, tons of neat shortcuts. Its only downside is that it can't handle certain plug-ins. I've used it ever since I had a 366 MH processor and it made broadband browsing tolerable in a way other browsers didn't.

I'm new to the Firefox game and only recently downloaded it because there were certain audio feeds that I couldn't access with the other browsers. It's OK. Not as fast as Opera. And to be fair there are a lot of features that I'm not familiar with.

Chrome is also [dang] fast but I mainly use it to access some audio feeds that I can't get with my other browsers because of plug-in incompatibility issues.

I have noticed that Firefox is better than Opera when it comes to timely updating the live scoreboard from ESPN, etc.
