I'm curious to know which web browsers most of you use, since Kitelife is optimized for FireFox... This browser is quickly gaining popularity, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

As a dedicated FireFox user since it came out, I find that it doesn't pixelate (break up) images as much, is more stable, loads faster and is more versatile all around.

I also like the ability to open multiple web pages in tabs, instead of opening a whole new browser for every site.

I like how it tabulated my vote incorrectly

Im using opera because it has much more advanced browsing functions than any other browser, is much more stable and currently the most standards compliant browser next to the unreleased safari. Both opera 9.0 beta and development safarai comply with all standards given.

I use IE 'cause it's what's installed on the laptop that my company provides me.

Rob, what did it put in for you for browser choice? I can fix it.

Once I have one to deduct, I'll add 1 into Opera for you.

What kind of "advanced browsing functions"? I'm curious, haven't used Opera much in the past... I do remember that sizing and format on pages seemed identical or comparable to FireFox... None of that IE pixelation.

Many more hotkeys, better mouse gestures than the FF extensions, fastest page loading (confirmed by multiple sources, up to 75% faster), better memory handling.

given the nicer hotkeys and extra functions like user mode, sidebar, itnerface customization (very easy to setup anyway you want), nicer transfer window etc... could go on forever.

FF is certainly way better than IE, but opera is a much more advanced experience. Can be basic like FF or IE if you wish.. or learn the hotkeys, mouse gestures and 100's of features and you will be in browsing heaven.

Oh yeah, no idea which one it gave since I didnt check results before voting. All I know is opera isnt there and neither is more stable, which are the ones I voted for.

I use konqueror as well often.

I am a Mac user (it would seem maybe the only one in the bunch here) so I use Safari, which comes packed stock with new Macs. I love the tab functions (opens new windows in tabs) also seems to have a pretty quick load time, but then i've only used IE and Netscape other than Safari and they don't even compare...

Ya, I use Safari on my Macs as well, its an excellent browser. In comparision, Firefox is downright clunky on a Mac.

But, John left us out of the poll! *hand to forehead*
