opera 9.51

started using it since version 7.0 or something

ff sucked back than (at least for me), ie...crappy?

opera is still nr. 1 browser for me! i'm now regularly updating to "weekly builds", and it's all that i need.

but i'm still using a bit of ff 2/3 (i'm currently testing mozilla minefield x64) and ie 6/7. mostly because i do web programming and i have to check layouts :P

Firefox. However, I have found some annoying bugs on FF3 (such as ALT-S no longer working on forums if there is more than one Submit Button - like here!) and new pages opening in new windows no matter what the setting. Still, I'm sticking w/ FF.

IE7 with the Maxthon shell. It has its quirks but also lots of good things that I've gotten accustomed to.

IE7, quick, fast, easy. comes with windows vista also so its well integrated. I don't like using too much third party software unless i really need it or if MS software sucks (its getting better).

google search option ALWAYS on

There's a hack to get ALT-S to work on FF2. Unfortunately, that hack does not work for FF3. ONLY on submission pages with two Submit buttons does it fail, apparently.

about:config

Change:
ui.key.chromeAccess to 5
ui.key.contentAccess to 4

But as I said doesn't work w/ FF3. It seemed to work with RC2, but final ... nope.

IE7 as Windows default browser program to open all files types and protocols it can open by default, and use all web based application with IE.

Maxthon 2 with IE7 core, I like all the out-of-box features, customizable interface and other things you can read about on their website

That's funny, I haven't noticed this. I guess they still have some polishing to do.

Anyway, FF3 here as well. I tried the new Opera and it had several nice features FF didn't, but it was annoying. Sometimes, it wouldn't load the entire page (usually when uTorrent was working, but it didn't happen with other browsers), or it would take forever to load some page completely. The latter mostly occurs with pages like Facebook profiles and is normal, but while it's possible to use the pages even when not 100% finished in other browsers, things often didn't work in Opera until it had downloaded all 800+ images that the page contained. It also has an aggressive caching mechanism which causes it to display outdated images (I'm working on a webapp that displays charts to help analyze network traffic, and this can be a real pain). So after 3-4 days, I'm back with FF.
