What web browser do you use? I've been on IE6 but the ****** kept crashing at the most inopportune moments!! So I've just installed Netscape 7.1. Any one out there use Netscape?

i use mozilla which is a netscape derivative - much prefer it to IE - and no need for a separate pop-up blocker.

I happen to use Safari, but am seriously looking at firefox 0.8, nice logo (say aaaaaaahhhh to the ickle red panda). I do have to use IE from time to time, as there are some sites that Safari just does not like.

When on a PC, I tend to just stick with IE.

Cheers chaps, I'll probably switch between IE and Netscape, untill IE service pack comes out.

IE shouldn't normally crash but it gets flakey if you don't clear out the cache - seems to get too big for it's own good...try it..

Markus I was hesitant about dropping Safari at first, but Firefox is just so bloody quick I had a hard time convincing my self it was worth it. Now 90% of my browsing is in FireFox.

Saying that I am replying in Safari

Firefox for OS X is looking pretty damn good, I still use Safari most of the time though. Latest update seemed to slow Safari down a bit but it fixed some important problems. It's still version 1.2 however, and I can't think how much better it is than IE

Best browser I've ever used is still Opera 7.2 on Windows.

I've been using Mozilla Firebird for a long time and now Firefox on both windows and linux platforms.

I still have IE there for the odd case where firefox says no (it even has a nice extension so you can click 'open in IE').

I think firefox is plenty stable enough now to use as a pirmary browser.
