Opera's worth using simply because it autosaves on exit. Saved me countless times when I was randomly browsing and had a window randomly close.

Avant Browser does that if you tell it to. If AB closes abruptly it will always ask you if you want to try to re-open the folders you had open.

AB also has a "open all links in folder" option in your favorates menu. Love this aspect

AB also uses your IE favorates. Make system migration easier.

I'm still using Mozilla

One day I have to try its "spiritual heir": it should be called Sea Monkey, or something similar...

I'm not saying FF's slow, that's relative. Anyway, about speed, here's a useful link:

Opera just kicks every other's behind in Windows:

I was used to IE and didn't ever think about changing it. At last, I couldn't hold against that Firefox stuff going around and installed it. Now I HATE Internet Explorer! Opening windows in tabs, highly impressive add-ons, abitility to add search engines(IMDB,eBay) etc are all user friendly features of Firefox. I installed some add-ons, FlashGot, NoScript, IE Tab, StumbleUpon, PDF Download, Temporary Inbox, FormFox and Abandonia Toolbar (perfect, thanks to the contributor). The only consideration is that Firefox takes longer time start (even without add-ons). It's ok since I won't need to open another window once it is started.

Firefox all the way for me.

IE just.. sucks.

Opera just.. sucks also. I tried it for a month or so and really didn't like it. Possibly liked it less than IE actually.

I use FF, and am quite happy with it. I can't say it's a gift from Heaven above, but I like it. Plain and simple. At least, a know-nothing like me can at least avoid a fair share of them pop-ups. That's good enough for me.
