    Mine happens to be Mozilla, but I still use I.E. alot out of habit. It is nice being able to use irc through it and such, plus it looks a lot less cluttered. And as far as I can tell it renders everything just fine.

    I just use I.E.

    Never felt like using something else.

    I'm now using IE (for personal website-testing) and Mozilla Firebird (still beta) it doesn't support Flash at the moment, but it's very cool and easy to handle.

    Generally use Opera.
    I use IE when visiting sites that aren't shown properly in Opera.
    Thinking of trying out Mozilla.

    Right now, Safari for Mac is pretty cool. Netscape can bite me, however.

    Firebird or normal Mozilla...
    I most commonly use MSIE, because some sites don't work in Mozilla.

    When everything else fails i use Opera.

    (so i have Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird, Netscape 7.0, M$IE and Opera)

    Most often Mozilla 1.5, and when it fails to work (rarely anymore) IE. Thus I use IE mainly to view .jpeg and other similar pictures.

    How boring am I? I've never had enough difficulty or annoyance with IE to want to mess around with trying anything new.

    I too use Internet Explorer. Why? Because I don't have bad problems with it and if I install a new browser, it takes time to learn to use it.

    IE, why? I've never had problems with it, so I fail to see the point in getting a new one. Besides, I get free updates for IE direct from Microsoft.

    I too fall into the "I use I.E. because it is there, I have never had any problems with it, and I have seen no reason to bother looking for anything else" group.

    With the integration of Operating System and web browser that Microsoft pulled off a few years ago, there is no real competition to IE. Using another browser is like eating cookies without milk.

    I use Avant Browser. It runs off IE, but it's got an ad blocker (which I turn off for SP :) ), a clear everything button (which clears history, pages visited, temp files, cookies, everything). It's got TONS of options and it works flawlessly. The best thing about it is that it's very fast and doesn't use much resources. Also, you can choose to have all your pages in one window, like Opera. I like that.

    http://www.avantbrowser.com/

    It's really good. I'd recommend it to anyone who uses the internet (which is all of you. go figure.)
