Im using Opera too. Its fast and easy. It also has Popup blocker that blocks popups that are not "requested by user" (For example, you click a link that should open new window, it opens that but rejects advertising popups opened automaticly. Most popups blockers reject automaticly almost all popups no matter what kind of)

I'm fed up with anything Windows lately. Firefox has gotten really good the past few releases. But I still like Konquedor better ^__^

Avant is a good browser, much more lightweight than MyIE. I kinda like how the popups don't resize in Avant like they do in MyIE. But MyIE is just full of useless features, that's what makes it better

I prefer FireFox, although Opera has been getting to be a very good browser since 7.2.

If you use MyIE2, please, please use the Gecko rendering engine. The MSHTML engine is the curse of the web.

I downloaded the patcher, but when I pick the MyIE2 executable, it says there is nothing to patch.

People will use what they want. Personally, I prefer the IE engine as it always renders everything to pristine perfection...standard or non-standard, IE will render almost anything the way the developer intended it to be.

MyIE2 is definitely better than IE, but let me point out that it is merely a frontend for IE. Unless you make sure to always turn on the gecko option, it uses IE's engine to render pages, which means that it still has all the problems that IE has. It adds tabs and popup blocking, but doesn't address any of IE's bugs.
Firefox is definitely the better option.

Opera is pretty good, but you have to A) pay for it, B) put up with banners in it, or C) get an illegal hack for it. Also, it doesn't use the same keyboard shortcuts that all other browsers use. You can't do things like hit alt+s to submit a post, or middle click links to open them in new tabs.

Another option if you want speed and lightweight over features, is k-meleon. It uses the gecko engine, and has all the basic features of a modern browser (including tabs), but no frills.

HA!! IE is the least standards compliant browser in existance. It's so bad, that in IE6, they had to add a special mode to make it render pages properly (a mode which is turned off by default). I can't keep track of how many times I've gotten a page looking and working great in all standards compliant browsers, only to have IE users ***** because it's all screwed up.

Cypherswipe is right, Internet Explorer is packed full of rendering bugs. The only reason that pages look right is because web designers are forced to use work-arounds to get pages to display correctly. One example is that "float: right;" looks screwed up in IE.
