Re: What's your preferred browser

Firefox mostly these days. But it does love to crash on some sites which is pretty annoying. I'm pretty sure it's related to javascript causing the crashing. But the fact IE and Opera do not crash on these same pages I don't think it's a coding issue.

But I use FF for usability not security which some users are using it for. I don't think its an safer than IE and with Vista and it's sand boxing of IE7 I'm sure the damage IE exploits can cause now are pretty limited.

Re: What's your preferred browser

I just upgraded to ff3 - a lot of add-ons broke and I was unable to save an links (ctrl-D) until I disabled all my add-ons. I re-enabled them one at a time thinking I could catch the culprit but everything is fine now. Still many broken add-ons but I am sure the community will catch up soon.

I don't find that Firefox crashes a lot... but maybe it's just the difference between which sites we browse...
IE crashes almost every time I view a page at school - I would say that it's more unstable than Firefox, though I am more used to it and can easily navigate it... (I don't often use Firefox)
