I usually use "Opera" but sometimes it just goes slow or doesn't function well. I like the "fit to width" feature to increase size of text, easier to read stuff from a few feet away. When Opera is not going well, I use Firefox, which usually works fine. Maybe there's another one worth trying? |

Firefox works 90% of the time. 10% of the time you have to use IE or else the page won't work correctly.
I use Firefox mainly. IE is usually the norm when viewing Korean websites. |

I used to use Mosaic, then Netscape. I used IE for a little while, but now only open it once in a blue moon. Now I use Firefox.

Safari is the fastest by far, followed by Opera. I would use one of them, but I don't like the feel of Opera and Safari is only for Macs. I use Sea Monkey mostly, followed by Firefox on occasion (both use the IE tab extension running so that IE pages will load properly in them). I have IE7.0 on my computer, but only because by wife is Korean and she is quite attached to using IE for everything. She is slowly being weened from it though.
I prefer Sea Monkey (Mozilla Suite), because it has everything in it including pop mail, contacts, and the core browser. I just wish it had more compatible extensions that I could install. |

I've tried Opera, Crazy browser, Firefox, Netscape Navigator, and Safari. I always end up coming back to Explorer. |

Those are the two I use, plus IE for all Korean sites what won't cooperate with anything but. |

I use Safari, and Netscape for sites that won't take it. Any site that won't accept me with either of these two browsers, I don't want to be on. I was totally (yet reluctantly) devoted to Explorer until I got my new Mac that ran OSX. |

Firefox and Sea Monkey both have Mac versions. If you install ie tab for firefox or ie tab for Sea Monkey, it will allow you to switch the browser engines between Firefox and IE. Mozilla browsers are all opensource versions of the Netscape browser. |

FIREFOX. Even though it has some irritating copy/paste functions, it crashes so much less than Explorer. |

Not only that, but firefox 2.0 has a crash recovery utility so that when it does crash, you can open it up again and start surfing again exactly where you left off. Sea Monkey has an extension that can be installed to add this feature. |
