What browser do you use?
Questionable Alex:
What? Teh Ladybug is a Norwegian? Ah, the surprises this place holds. I greet you from the cold =)
Now, back on topic! I am one of the few with Opera (as it's Norwegian and a part of the whole Norway nerd pride), Firefox and IE installed, and still using IE. Yes, indeed. I've used IE for as long as I can remember. The day my computer explodes as a cause of the massive lack of security in IE, I will probably stay away from it. But as that hasn't happened, and I'm protecting my computer well enough, it's still my browser of choice.
Firefox is used now and as well though, but Opera's just there for show. For now...
Ladybug:
Ah, another Norwegian? Cool. How do you cope without tabbed browsing? Or do you use IE7? Opera took me a little while to get used to, but now I love it and couldn't live without it :p
I sometimes wish that I still had IE available, though, because certain stuff only works in IE, and it annoys the hell out of me. I'm considering using BootCamp and installing XP, just so that I can watch football matches/summaries and broadcasts from my hometown online.. Shouldn't be necessary, but ah well.
Napoleon the Clown:
Firefox's IE tab: pwns. It can do anything IE can do and I don't have to open IE. It's been a long time since I've used IE.
I love FF because of its customizability. Extensions and add-ons make for a nicer browsing experience. The mighty adblock is the one I like most. I use it not only on ads, but on the damn seizure inducing avatars. And any other images that annoy me.

And I don't even use a lot of the built-in features like torrent downloader, contacts, e-mail, notes, chat etc. I've customized it quite a bit, so that the stuff I don't use is gone, and it's now exactly the way I like it. I don't really know why I don't use a lot of the built-in features, because they all work just fine, but I guess in my head there's still this little voice saying "a browser is a browser". Might have to try and change that later on.
Also, I've read that Opera is more secure than Firefox (don't remember where, so don't quote me on this and certainly not fight me on it, because I can't really trust my source when I don't remember what it was), which wouldn't surprise me, because 1) Firefox has more users and 2) Firefox is open source, which isn't a bad thing, I guess, but the securty holes are more "out there". Plus, Opera is Norwegian, which is never a drawback, but by far not the only reason I've been using it for the last couple of years.

The inbuilt email is precisely why I prefer Opera to any of the other browsers I've come across. It's nice not having to either install a separate mail notifier or check every half hour.

Firefox. Yay!!!
