Been using Opera as my primary browser since 5.12.

And have had Mozilla installed since Phoenix days, monitoring progress, in case it becomes worth switching to.

IE7, because it works everywhere and for the same reason as the 'Pimpsta - don't want to install third party apps when Microsoft has a good program built in.

Plus, it's the defacto standard against which all others are judged - necessary for familiarity and support to see and work on the internet as most others do - savvy enthusiasts aside...

Also Safari 3, had two options been available.

Opera 9.5 is my main browser on both Vista and OSX, i occasionally use Safari on OS X and IE 7 (vista) for sites that don't like Opera (usually my bank websites)

That's strange Iria, I don't have a problem at all with things opening in new windows. Mine always either open in the same tab or in a new tab depending on the link and how I click it. I'm using FF 3.0 final with only a DPI tweak done, and adblock plus (which I've disabled on this website along with a few others...hey, if I can't afford to donate the least I can do is let the ads load :P )

My main browsers are Firefox 3 at work and SeaMonkey at home. I use SeaMonkey because it's a natural continuation of previous browsers (Mozilla, Netscape) that I used before. I find it convenient to have everything in one app in a familar way, though I admit that Firefox is a better browser.

I had Opera as my main browser in the Opera 6 days (or maybe it was 5?), but since later versions reduced the convenience of browsing with windows inside a big window (in particular, dropping the ability to control window size), I didn't stick with it. I'm going to try 9.50, but Opera hasn't managed to entice me back since that point.

Hmmm. Have you tried IETab?

On the other hand, at work I use IE7 just to keep things simple. IE7 for work, FF for personal.

I love Internet Explorer -- it does everything I need a browser to do, looks nice, and I looooove the tabbed browsing and search in a really easy interface.

I don't know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

lol.

To Swimtech, ExitiosuS and others that use IE because they won't fix what's not broken: IE is broken. I'm not trying to make you change your browsing habbits, I just have to say that as I'm experiencing it first hand. The only reason many web pages work correctly with IE is that the developers spend (waste) a not that small portion of their time trying to make things that work in all other browsers work in IE.

P.S. Implementation of tabbed browsing in IE7 really is good, I haven't used it much for awhile, but I remember that there are some nice touches like remembering the typing language for each tab separately so I dont have to Alt+Shift every time I switch tabs..

I've been using Opera since the 5.x days. Firefox has evolved into a very promising browser, but everything Firefox did with extensions back in the early 2.x days... Opera did years earlier
