I started to browse with IE and I still use IE 6 or 7 (now). I had several problems but the only reason I didn't change it was that 80% or 90% of the users still use it. I went with the crowd. My web site (online store) was design for IE and I never checked how it looks in an other browser.

Í am an open mind person and I want any revenue I can get from the net, but the statistics are very clear:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 1,232,809 81.92% Netscape Navigator (same sht) 230,282 15.30% Others (Firefox etc) 38,223 2.53% Netscape Compatible 3,332 0.22% WebTV 194 0.01%

BUT: In the next months (I hope) I will get over with it and get the Firefox cos it's the right tool.

PS. I am still using DOS for my "binary" programs and am using the ftp.exe command for uploading to my server.

FF most of the time, IE for checking compatiability on sites I run. The best extension on FF that I use religiously aside from gestures is that darn Session Saver! Everloving glory for that invention, because I like being able to keep things going even after an unexpected power down.

AdBlock's nice as well, and the accuweather monitor is nice for keeping up on the weather around here (you know the old "wait a minute, it'll change" thing) and a handy video downloader for all those nifty things people find on youtube/google/etc.

I'll give IE7 a whirl sometime soon, as well as the Vista OS. Right now, I just don't think my barebox could handle such an upset. :laugh:

When IE7 comes out, a lot of Firefox users may wind up switching back as long as security concerns are dealt with better. Then again, hackers will probably always target Microsoft. I just hate the way Microsoft waits so long to admit something is wrong and come out with a fix even if it is ahead of its planned schedule.

i just downloaded IE7 and it looks pretty good. it has tabbing and a lot of the other functions opera and firefox have. about damn time microsoft caught up with the rest of the world.

p.s. i'm writing this on opera. i'll have to test IE7 a bit more before i really trust it.
