FireFox because its a very good browser and stops popups, has a download manager plus it can save passwords for you and even fills the forms in on websites you have visited before.
GO FIREFOX!

Opera is the best browser, as it has all FireFox offers (without extensions), and has a very active support forum. Most ideas in FireFox have been copied out of Opera, but to nowhere near as high a standard.
Click banner in sig.

Opera fails. Firefox has extensions for ANYTHING. I can even do a whois search using it. |

I now have IE 6 and Firefox on my computer.
All objections should go to the complaints department. You should be helped in the next 9000 hours. (lol) ;) |

| I tried Opera on my computer, it works fine. But I don't like the big "Buy Opera"-ad at the top. Also, Firefox is open source. |

Crack it =P
But yeah, I like firefox, with about 25 plugins in it though.
It looks kinda bear without being skinned and pluginned, but has great features possibilites.
