Hey guys,
Just wondering what our demographic for internet browsers is.

I figure there are quite a few tech type guys on here who would use Firefox, but I'm geussing IE will win out.

I use Firefox personally.

Only use IE on the very rare occasion a website requires it and the User Agent switcher for Firefox can't fool the site enough to get things to work.

tabs are the thing that do it for me. saves having multiple windows cluttering the task bar when its all tabbed in one window. little less vulnerable to automatic spyware installs from websites, and the availability of FasterFox

that is an extension you can install onto firefox which makes your ISPs web server work harder for you than their other clients, giving you slightly faster page loads and up/download speed when browsing

also, if you're a big google user, theres extensions (ie: CustomizeGoogle) that customize and provide a whole rack of useful options on the Google site

No vote here as well. It depends. At school... I use firefox, at home/laptop...IE, on my g/f's comp...AOL/Netzero if AOL doesn't work (she still has 56K dial-up).

EDIT: she has NETZERO, not netscape

After too many virus and other attacks on my home PC, I was advised by a software security techie to switch to Firefox. I did, and have been very pleased. Firefox works about as well as IE, without all the problems. I do have to use IE for a limited number of web sites that won't work correctly with Firefox, though.
