I still use IE7 because some websites work correctly only with it, and Opera is my backup option, just in case. I find the interface of IE more convenient, so I continue to use it. I even participated in discussions in this thread for some time :) But that was a long time ago, and I think I've become wiser since then. The funny thing is that I consider Firefox to be the best browser – ultimately, it's more stable than both IE and Opera.

I used to use the explorer, and I still do))) the rest can go to hell))) especially Firefox, it slows down the page loading process. But on my phone, I use Opera:)

Ha! I even remember having a bunch of windows open on my taskbar when I used IE, I think version 6 (or whatever the default was in XP SP2?). I didn't even think about alternatives, and when I did, I was quite skeptical. Later, partly influenced by Vaishan, I switched to Opera, and a little later to Firefox. I still use it.
Sixth, yes. No, since I got Vista quite a while ago, it had IE7, and on it... well, you could live with it. It has tabs, and that's already something. But somehow, I decided to try FF2, and I liked it. Then I tried Opera, but it didn't quite work out. Maybe it has too much extra stuff?:)

And for me, pages load twice as long in IE:p

Google Chrome is a fast, stylish, and user-friendly browser.

Then I tried Opera, but it didn't quite work for me. Maybe it has too many unnecessary features?
You can remove all the unnecessary stuff in the settings.

Exactly, that's why I love Opera - it's number one in terms of the number of possible settings; absolutely everything can be customized. In the address bar, enter
opera:config, and you'll see a couple of hundred (!) different settings. By the way, somewhere (Google knows) there's even a detailed explanation of all the options in Russian.

Nah, Firefox is just faster.

But I can't agree with that: Firefox probably isn't inferior to Opera in speed, but it's not faster either; however, it uses twice as little RAM. People who appreciate various convenient features and plugins love Firefox because no other browser can compare to it in this regard. And I've also noticed that Opera's caching mechanism works better.

By the way, yes, it's missing from the poll. I've used Chrome. Well... it's fast, yes. And simple. Too simple, even for me.

In my opinion, it doesn't even deserve to be in the poll because it's still raw - it doesn't open some pages, and it allocates RAM differently for each tab - as a result, it consumes too much RAM with a large number of tabs.
And regarding simplicity - you haven't seen my Opera - there's only a tab bar, address bar, and search bar - nothing else is needed because everything else can be successfully controlled with the keyboard;)
And on the topic, recently I've started to appreciate the beauty of a console browser - that's the fastest one;)

P.S. In the poll, you need to correct Konquer to Konqueror, if you mean the KDE browser

Wow, I didn't know that! I used to remove all the unnecessary panels using the regular settings...
But I can't agree with this: Firefox probably doesn't lag behind Opera in speed, but it's not faster either, and it consumes about twice as much RAM.
Even though I use Opera, I have some doubts about this... Me and Major compared them once, Opera consumed a maximum of about 170 MB of RAM (if the task manager displays the amount of memory being used), while Firefox consumed about 120 MB, I think. We should ask Firefox users.

Yeah, it's definitely easier to configure the appearance through menus and panels.

I think it also depends on the settings - I currently have two windows open in Opera, one with 10 tabs and the other with 5. In total, it uses about 60 MB of RAM.

P.S. I couldn't manage to configure Firefox in the same way, but on average, it consumes about 120 MB.

I used to use Opera, then switched to Mozilla Firefox, and there are no more slowdowns. I keep hearing that Explorer has a lot of security vulnerabilities:)

The resource consumption of the fire fox also depends on the installed plugins...
I have never had problems installing various extensions, because a browser should be a browser and not a combine, IMHO.

By the way, there is a good browser on the Gecko engine (Firefox is also based on it), called K-Meleon, has anyone used it? I tried it once, and I liked it more than Firefox, but less than Opera. I recommend trying it out if anyone is interested;

Opera is the fastest; while other browsers send packets back and forth, Opera has its own server where everything is done automatically, and it's much faster, at least that's how it works on mobile Opera. And still, I got hooked on Opera, and I can't seem to quit it; I'm so used to it, and I've used Mozilla, Donkey, Green, and even the newest one. Google... (something there) (by the way, it looks a lot like IE), can't compare to it.
P.S. Dr Motor, I would fix your topic, but unfortunately, I can't.

I'm still using IE because I only recently got my own internet connection. I'll probably switch to Opera. I just don't understand why they disguise it as a donkey. Are ISPs offended by the traffic saving?:smile01:
