What web browser do you use? I thought it would be appropriate to bring up again seeing as the new Opera came out today (finally!) and Firefox 3 comes out soon.

I've been using Opera for years, and it's improved immensely. The new version's got an even faster rendering engine, new features, and they seem to have fixed a few usability issues.

Firefox 3 is looking pretty sweet as well. I'm looking forward to trying out the final version, even though many of the new features are copied from Opera. Not that it really matters, I still like Firefox.

I haven't tried IE8 yet, but apparently Microsoft is making slow and steady improvements. Obviously, there isn't quite as much buzz out there for IE.

I've been using Firefox for years, the only time I use IE is on the rare websites that require IE to run properly. Luckily those sites are getting more and more rare.

Firefox at home, IE at the office. IE sucks.

I use opera on the PC and Safari on the Mac so usually Safari! I just can't stand IE.

Always used IE and still, and I guess I'm in a tiny minority nowadays. I just don't see the difference.

Firefox unless I'm using any of my school's websites which require IE. It's weird and annoying. I use Safari at work.

IE at office, they don't allow us to install our preferred browser.

SeaMonkey at home, I rarely surf from home.

Firefox 3 created a world record for most download in a day. Any of you folks using it already? How is Firefox 3's preformance and what are the new features? Better than IE8 or what? What's your comment??

Yep, I am using FF3 and so far, so good. It is much easier than IE(except when I want to find temp files to save a Youtube vid or such, I finally found the folder and have a shortcut to it, it is buried deep)

I've had a chance to play with Firefox 3 since it came out, and I can honestly say it's immensly better than previous versions. The fact that it has discontinuous highlighting is awesome.

Also, both Opera 9.5 and Firefox 3.0 were the first versions to add animated PNG support. Hell yeah!
