If you had read the post properly i think you will find i said people who are quite good with computers meaning they know quite a few things about computer sure as the difference between web browsers i never said people being computer pros or experts
Are you only happy when your having a go at people, you might think its big and clever, but its just sad, annoying and the main reason why most people on this forum are just fed up of you and your wise cracks

I have IE and Firefox, switched to using the latter after upgrading to IE8 then finding out that it was rather flaky (might be my 4 year old computer). Agree with the comments that the latest version of Firefox appears to be rather slow though I have not had it actually lock up or crash yet - still got IE6 at work and that seems to work fine on what is a very basic computer.

Erm...I use IE (should I be embarassed about that? ).

It works fine for me, I have to say - no, it's not perfect, but it certainly does the job. I have considered using Chrome, but I actually am reasonably satisfied with IE!

Firefox for me under pretty much every OS I use. Hate IE, but use that in work. I hate Safari as well. Konqueror is not bad under linux mind

I use Firefox, but don't like the slowness when it starts up.

I use Chrome mainly at home, Firefox at work and also on Kubuntu. I do not use IE at all what so ever.

At Home: Firefox although when I want to access the FCC intranet I've got to use Internet Explorer, have not got any choice or say in the matter - will cost too much to set up the intranet for other browsers to use.

At Work: Again, Internet Explorer is king here simply because no other browser is available.

Out and About: Blackberry Browser, depends on if I can get a good signal or not though...

Safari 4 on OS X on all my Macs. iCab is best if you're running OS 9 or earlier!

And at school a mixture of; Chrome, Firefox 3, IE8 (on the new PCs) and IE6 on the new laptops god knows why! It's terrible.
