Both Opera and Internet Explorer are good but the only advantage of IE is that its the most commonly used and hence most popular.To me I think Opera and IE both are equally Good
Firefox although the Show Password feature is insecure.
I just switched after two years...

I recently started using firefox as my primary browser. I have been trying alternatives as I heard of them, I remember using mozilla way before it was ever a 1.0 release. I even bought opera a couple of years ago but after time the annoyances start to piss me off in other browsers, little bugs and stuff. IE may not have tabbed browsing or other features that most people thrive on, but it works at what it does.
As far as speed, I have noticed a bit of a difference in firefox, although the initial load time is slower, opening firefox there after is much quicker than a new instance of IE.
As for security...like said above, I never had any with any browser.

I've always used IE, simply because it's what comes with my computer and I'm far too lazy to switch. I've never really had any major problem that would warrant a browser change in my opinion. It's got it's problems sure, but they're so minor it means nothing to me.
I guess one thing that sort of drives me away from wanting to use browsers aside from IE is because a bunch of mindless wannabe *nix nerds hate windows for no apparent reason.
The same people that have never written a line of php, python or perl and chat on MSN all day with their pirated version of windows.
Firefox does rock though...it takes some getting used to but once you adjust it is hard to like IE as much

These sound like the words of a biased unfair opinion...
When was the last time you tried it? It is just the same buggy wise as IE. And there is plenty of proof around the web proving it is in fact faster. If you want to see for yourself, load it up and go into your taskmanager, you can see IE uses more resources.
There have been security updates for IE that are 10mb, firefox is 4mb for the entire application.
Also saying it has no advantage of IE yet you state just before that one of it's advantages. "tabbed browsing" whether or not you are used to it, it is a far better way of browsing than just a bunch of windows. It may take getting used to but all change does, and this change is for the better
I am a microsoft defender most of the time but I make an exception for firefox, it is a fine application
It's a pitty when you have several friends that completely break the stereotype 'I hate m$ and anything m$ and everything m$ and have never written a single line of php, perl, c++ and python' - i myself am much like you in that respect, being anti-anti-microsoft; but more of my personal friends are *nix zealots and code monkeys D:

No, these are words based on personal experience.guitarnerd said:
From the time it was openly released until July, 2004.
And where did you get this information?
No "proof" stands valid until I've actually experienced it. I need to actually see and feel it run faster. But it didn't. In fact, it was slower than IE.
If using up more resources means faster loading and rendering, then so be it. When I'm using the browser, I'm not likely to be using anything else resource hungry at the same time. IE still runs faster than FireFox even when I'm running Photoshop.
This means nothing to me. I don't care how small FireFox is, because it simply doesn't work as well as IE for me.
I never said tabbed browsing was an advantage.
I don't need tabbed browsing. So this feature isn't going to make me think that I need to switch to FireFox. It's like saying, Netscape has email capabilities and IE doesn't, so why don't you use Netscape. Well, because I don't need it.
If in the future Microsoft decides to add tabs to IE, fine, all for the better, but as of now, I am perfectly comfortable with no tabs.
Look, I have nothing for or against either companies. I'm simply stating that whatever FireFox claims it's got that IE doesn't, whatever superiority it has over IE, I didn't see it when I used it.
If you like FireFox and it works for you, great. But there's no point in making me think that it's better too when I've had no better experiences with it when I was using it.

The fact that opera claims to follow w3c standards yet instead of a body margin it has a body padding drives me nuts...
if you know CSS you probably know what I am talking about
