Netscape is the pioneer in Browser but they spolit their edge and failed to catch up with other browsers up and coming...
Chrono Detector

I think Netscape is too bloated and has a lot of unnecessary stuff on it. And one time I used it, I visited some website and it started opening millions of IE windows. Since then I haven't touched it.

I use Firefox simply because it's the best there is.
I am one of 4 people on these boards that uses Opera! Currently using v8.54 because i don't like the Bittorrent intigration of 9.x.
IMO Opera > FF because:
- faster (both starting up and loading pages)
- has tabbed browsing too!
- has skins that go with my desktop theme
- better customization of interface so I can have a clean look, just the way i like (with the tabs on the bottom of my screen)

Don't worry, I use Opera too. I've tried everything, and opera is just... the best!
You can upgrade your Opera and disable to bittorrent intigration...
You have to go into your preferences -> advanced > Downloads > search torrent, and you can use your own Torrent program.

I use firefox and IE when I need it for the microsoft update ect. Hmm... five reasons to switch, well switch to firefox. 1. It is safer. 2. TABBED BROWSING. 3. Cooler plugins. 4. Less clutter. 5. Actually blocks popups. So I say firefox

As somebody mentioned Firefox is more secure, and its frequently updated, unlike piece of shit Internet Explorer (No offense). Internet Explorer 6 is so outdated I wonder why Microsoft never even bothered updating or releasing more service packs for it. What also makes me wonder why Microsoft took so long to create Internet Explorer 7, like after, I don't know, 4-5 years since the release of IE6? ANd not to mention IE6 is vulnerable to spyware and lacks security features which is a main weakness of IE.
I use Firefox because it blocks out most spyware and the popup blocker is nice. Not to mention its updated quite frequently which is a bonus. I'm currently using Crystal Clear theme for Firefox and I love it. Download the skin here: http://www.crystalxp.net/dl/en.gal.696.htm

Yes I used it back when I was in year 7, 1998. It was an alright browser. And Netscape Communcator as well. Today its called Netscape Browser now right? Guess I made an error with the poll calling it "Netscape Navigator".

i use IE. For the reason of this, When i tried to open up a link in my Word document, it goes to IE instead of FireFox. I know most people hates IE but i'm use to IE. I'm not really a Firefox user =(
Has anyone like copy a link and paste it into word then open the link in word and then opens to the IE browser?
Also. I find FF slow and difficult...I hope i'm not offending the Firefox users.

Of course, everybody uses IE because its the only default browser integrated with Microsoft Windows.
I personally like Firefox better because its more updated frequently, blocks most spyware (Damn those hackers writing viruses and spyware for Firefox) and tabbed browsing saves more time.
Though you can download the MSN Toolbar for Internet Explorer and you can used tabbed browsing. They say it blocks spyware, don't know if its true, I still got a bunch of tracking cookies when I installed MSN Toolbar.

i don't relly on my browser to keep stuff out none of them will including firefox.
tracking cookies can be stoped easily enough but people don't use the settings or the anti spyware programs properly for the most part if you don't want something to enter your comp you know as well as i do there are plenty of ways to keep them out.

Everyone here obviously use different we browsers, I was wondering what you all have.
So please care to share.
I use Mozilla Firefox (ver.1.5.0.9) (I do not wish to update) and Opera (ver.9.02. Both are great, fast and reliable. The cool thing about Opera is it does not close the tabs you have left open when you close the browser. Firefox is awsome for speed. Though both are fast, I find that Firefox is faster.

^^ I wouldn't bother with IE7. The layout sucks, most of the problems with IE6 exists in IE7 and believe it or not, I got spyware, so I didn't even bother with it. Stick to Firefox, its so much better.
And I like it how Firefox allows you to change themes so easily. I wish you didn't have to restart the browser just for it to take effect.

What makes FF so good is the extensions.
Theres practically an extension for everything, i surf the web practically ad-free, pop-up free, with an irc client open(not mirc but tied into FF). When i search google i get thumbnails, i get the opera sidebar(it hides), fasterfox so i surf faster, broadband speed tests for when i need them, i can change it to run FF engine for when a site doesn't display because it needs IE, i minimize my FF to my tray, the same tabs open everytime i start FF, ect, ect. It just in short makes a nicer experience surfing the web.

Why some of you guys are using IE6 is just beyond me. Its old, outdated and buggy. You should really upgrade to a better browser.
I recently installed Opera to see what it looked like. It was alright, better than IE7 obviously, I thought the GUI was kinda dull, though I'm still using Firefox 2.0.0.1 which is the bomb.
Firefox > IE, Now i can surf safely and not have to worry about my browser contracting every single known internet virus known to man.

Firefox is becoming less safe due to popularity, but I use it anyway. I don't mind IE7, to tell you the truth, I just don't like the stupid tabs system in it. I'm just used to Firefox; I don't really like change. I would probably use Opera if I could get used to it. In some ways it's a superior browser. I dislike how Firefox takes up more and more memory as you use it, especially if you're a compulsive tab browser such as myself.
I used to only use Internet Explorer because I could get the MegaUpload Toolbar for it, which seems to be needed because of the country slots thing. I found a way around it, though, so I'm all happy without IE.
Firefox, so much better than IE.

Firefox 2.0 has more new features. As mentioned, a spell checker when you type emails, reply to forum messages or type a message in some form box.
And each tab has a close function without going to the end of the tab toolbar just to close it.
And also, when your computer crashes while Firefox is running, you can restore the session without losing your work. Very nifty.

I currently use Opera, used to use FireFox though.
I have also heard that Opera is more secure than Fire Fox and that Fire Fox isn't as secure as it used to be because of how much it has grown in popularity. I wonder if this is true or not though.

I used to use FireFox, but the way it downloaded stuff just didn't float my boat.
I'm using IE 7.0 right now, but I'll probably check out Opera or something.
At school I use Fire Fox. Sometimes at school they don't have it on a certain computer, so I have to use Safari.
I just downloaded Opera and am using it.

Just noticed the tipping point in browser stats for visitors to isoHunt. From Google Analytics:
Firefox
Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 45.84%
Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 46.19%
Internet Explorer
Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 46.42%
Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 46.07%
Opera
Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 3.89%
Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 3.79%
Safari
Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 2.82%
Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 2.91%
Congrats to the Mozilla Foundation and Firefox team for pulling this off! Firefox users on isoHunt have now overtaken IE users, and I see the trend continuing in more Firefox adoption. The less reliance on standard non-compliant and malware-friendly IE, the better.
And while talking about browsers, a note for Firefox and Adblock users: I'd appreciate it if you exclude using Adblock on isoHunt and our other sites (Torrentbox, Podtropolis). We make best efforts in not showing intrusive or abusive ads, I hope you'd return similar courtesy. Our legal costs (http://isohunt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38933) are mounting and we need the advertising dollars. Thanks

I like FireFox. It's very easy to use, blocks all my pop-ups and isn't as spyware/virus/exploit plagued as IE is. I do have an IE extention in FireFox but I rarely use it and only do so when have to.

Most definitely Firefox.
You never fully appreciate Firefox and it's nifty features and addons until you can't use them. I'm not a long time convert to the browser as it's only been a year or so since I started using it but I have to admit, there is no better. It could have better compatibility with some sites and embedded content but overall I love it as is.

Everybody who is using IE realized that IE is a piece of shit browser to they switched to Firefox, like me.
In other news, IE8 is in development, I wonder how will that turn out. I thought IE7 was just plain awful, I guess since Firefox 3 is coming out soon so Microsoft decided to compete with Mozilla I guess.

Mozilla seems to have everything IE has just only it's 10x times safer. So that's what I use. Some people call me a fanatic about Firefox, and they are probably right. But oh well, when it all comes down to the basics I see that my computer is the safest it can be on ths fantasy we like to call the inner nets.

Since I'm now running Ubuntu 7.10 (Operating System), I'm using Mozilla Firefox as default internet browser. Besides being faster, it's really safe and has a lot more graphic options than Internet Explorer (such as themes).

I use a combination of Firefox, I.E. 7 (yay tabs), and Opera.
Firefox is my default. I.E. is around for when things don't load properly or when web designers, for some reason, make I.E.-only pages. I have all three to use for previewing page designs before I upload them.
