Web-Browsers

So, which one is your favorite? And why. You have to put why.

IE (*Cringe*), Netscape (*Cringe also*), Mozilla, Firebird, Opera, Lynx, Konqueror, etc.

I mostly use Firebird, but I found one that's almost exactly like it, but it loads a lot faster without the ads for Opera.
K-Melon. It's now my baby. It's also Open-Source. =D

IE, because it's standard. I'm thinking of going to one of those that you listed, because IE said they were cutting down popups in 2004 (don't know how they'd pull it off, but they said they would), and it seems like I've been gettin MORE since January, even though I got rid of my spyware.

MyIE2. Highly customizable, different skins, pop-up blocker, more functionality than IE despite handling script the same way, convenience functions and so on. The downside is that it's annoying at first, because the default settings are utter crap.

Are the settings a pain to deal with? I use Internet Explorer for most internet activities myself, although Firebird and Opera would seem to be better, I do not want to pay. I

It's like $5 a disc for Firebird, if I'm not mistaken.
It's not that much at all. But I'm cheap. Razz

You don't have to pay. At least not for Firebird. O_o;

You don't have to pay for Opera either, but it does ask you to buy it if you want even though you don't have to..

Do you get extra features if you pay? If you don't, that's kind of very retarded.

It's Freeware, but it does advertise at you for donations once every update (about once every two months).

And yeah, the settings were from t3h b0wels of h3ll. I had to get rid of a search bar, take off a few keyboard shortcuts, get it to recognise the Google Searchbar plug-in, stop it from opening a new session everytime I clicked a link, sort of thing. But once the beast is tamed, it works pretty damn well.
