Firefox is my favorite if for no other reason than the fact that Web Developer Toolbar extension is the greatest thing ever invented and has made my life infinitely easier. :worship

 

And Firefox is pretty nice from a user standpoint as well, tho I've heard good things about Opera, too.(but haven't really spent enough time exploring it)

i've tried and used pretty much every browser/version under most every platform, and i always go back to Firefox...

 

Opera is easily the fastest but i can't do without a few Firefox extensions

 

I won't try to sell Opera too hard cause FF is a great browser, but if it's extensions you miss try this list:

It's a list of Opera equivalents of many extensions.

i will check it out, thanks :)

 

i use opera sometimes when i just want to whip around as fast as possible, but for work and "hardcore" browsing, i usually use FF

 

Safari is nice and fast too, and there's decent adblock options, but for some reason i just don't like it as much.

ok, that makes a bit more sense

 

but IE 7 still has a ton of annoyances, but it is at least a lot more compliant than 6 was thankfully.

 

as a web developer you really learn to loathe certain browsers/versions :realmad

 

Yeah. I hate looking at my PNG files on IE.

absolutely. and ie 6 [sic] supports the plug ins that firefox does and it has tabs.

 

microsoft rules your face.

IE 7 was just Microsoft trying desperately to catch up to what Firefox has been doing for years. And they didn't even manage that. :rolleyes

 

Plus, Firefox 2 is coming up soon (in beta now I believe), which will put IE 7 even further behind the times. People only use IE because it comes bundled with their OS.

srsly. i had so many stupid issues w/ my new design of arcadefire.net that were all IE 6's fault... UGH

Yeah, I haven't worked too much with the new IE yet, but I've never been a fan of Microsoft's "standards-optional" approach in the past.

 

Still, my biggest complaint is that I'm not aware of a painless way of debugging javascript errors IE. When clients occasionally call us and report that they're getting javascript errors on our web-based apps, my first question is "Uhhh...is there another browser you could use??" :lol (usually the answer is no, because they're not allowed to install anything) You might as well blindfold me and tie my hands behind my back. :frusty
