I've been using IE and FF for a while, but get frustrated with FF using excessive CPU on occasions.

I downloaded Opera last night and saw the light (well for now), it does everything I want and a whole lot more.

I like the ability to sperate TABS so that different web sites can be places on the screen side by side or howver I want them, and the WIDGETS thng is great.

What do the congegration use / think of various browsers?

poll coming
 
I've never encountered FF being heavy on the CPU and it outclasses IE by a long way so I'll be sticking with it.
 
FF mostly, otherwise Safari, Flock, Camino. Most of the time, for non-work-related stuff, I'm using w3m :)
 
um.. don't technical people call it Mozilla, instead of Firefox?

NetPositive is the best browser by the way. And it would be even better if it handled Javascript, CSS, had a decent up-to-date Flash plugin...
 
I read about Opera being a super quick browser a while ago. Installed it and timed it opening up various pages, some were quicker than IE some were slower, overall no better really. That was about a year though..

Mozilla is a superset of Firefox. The Mozilla Project also includes the Thunderbird POP3/IMAP4/NNTP/RSS client and Bugzilla as well as some smaller projects.

Mozilla is just the name of the open source codebase that FF is built on, other companies use this codebase too, e.g. Flock
