opera is a ie wrapper..the only difference is that opera has a better looking interface.
but comparing it to ie is useless..same candy bar(ie) just in a different wrapper(opera).

firefox rocks however

Why do so many people still use IE?
BECAUSE YOU CAN’T INSTALL ANYTHING ELSE IF YOU WORK FOR A CORPORATION.
That is the only reason why IE is still on the top.

I still feel that Safari is the best. But I’m a Mac user…

For many years I was a Netscape user. Now it is Firefox. I think it is a superior product.

I thought the browser wars were over. I totally agree, the infantile comments about this sucks or that blows just goes to show the intellect of the poster.
Use what suits you, personally I use FF 99.9% of the time. The only reason I use the others is to check my websites for compatibility issues.
Each browser has it’s own flaws especially dealing with CSS. I can’t really blame any one browser for having the most flaws. I build sites to be 100% WC3 valid xhtml strict, but end up having to use loose standards because pages display different in every browser.
I am a big Firefox fan, but it is not perfect. It take incredibly long to load compared to everything else. I am using minimal plugins and the default theme. There is a memory issue, I use a memory recovery application and solved that problem.
I would have to say the least inspiring of the bunch is Opera(the free version), and Safari. Not that they are bad, but if I had a choice I would use IE7 as opposed to them.
Tabbed browsing? I think the Maxthon extension for IE was the first or at least the first I ever was aware of.

FireFox is a great stable and flexible application, I’m glad to see it. I’m sure as the growing number of Linux users increases that helps as well as Firefox is default with many distributions.

FireFox is the best.
This big leap is also helped by Google Adsense networking…. Infact, my blog servers Adsense and i get 1-3 downloads per week of firefox..

Oh yeah! And why don’t MS start helping develop the Linux and *BSD kernels, KDE and GNOME too? This has always been the way MS work- they take an existing idea or product, change it so that it is incompatible with the existing standards and then make all Windows users adopt it.

People can’t help improve IE because it not open source, but even if it was I don’t think there’d be much interest as FF has always been open source as is better in many respects. If Opera was open sourced that’d be a different matter. Besides, if MS dropped IE to help with FF they’d be admitting defeat and losing another way of locking people into using MS operating systems and apps.

I have noticed the PSP in other site stats too – perhaps it’s widerspread than we thought.

The only way for Firefox to really grow on a global basis is to be bundled with every new PC sale, like MS IE is. Some people use both. I use FF for personal and IE for corporate since I have a corporate PC. Some sites on our intranet do not work with FF unfortunately. I’ve also seen some HTTPS problems (timeouts) recently with FF.

Across a large B2B network (approx. 3.5 million uniques), we see 75% using IE 6.0 or 7.0. Firefox clocks in at 15% and Safari at 5%. A year ago, Firefox was around 12.5% of our visitors.

Firefox turns certain sites’ font into times new roman, which sucks. I remain an IE loyalist.

IE 7.0 is a fine browser. Just another example of the extent of Microsoft haters than seem to dominate this site.

I use both browsers and find each to have strengths and weaknesses. How about folks providing specific rationale for why they like one browser over the other rather than these juvenile rants like “IE sucks and FF rocks.”

Have they fixed that memory leak in Firefox yet? If so, I’ll consider switching from Maxthon although it’s so terrific that I probably won’t.

I can’t believe people still pay attention to these BS download stats — especially after the Mozilla Foundation ‘fessed up about the actual adoption rates:
