Firefox, IE, & Opera Web Browsers Compared

opera, ff, ie picExtremeTech compares the three new web browsers: Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7, and Opera 9.

These are all fine apps; we recommend you give them each a spin-it's a free download, after all-and stick with the one you find the most comfortable. Just keep in mind that IE7 is still beta (and you'll need to check the Show Updates box in Control Panel's Add Remove Programs window if you want to remove it), and Firefox is even earlier beta. For most users, it probably makes sense to wait for a later beta for Firefox and go ahead and try IE7 with a little caution. And don't worry about losing your bookmarks or favorites: With any of these upgrades, your bookmarks with come along for the upgrade ride. [ExtremeTech]

I personally use Firefox 1.x, Opera 9, and IE 6.x with enhancements using Maxthon or Avant. I use all of these browsers depending on what I need to be surfing for.

For online banking and posting articles at 1SRC.com, I use Maxthon or Avant since these sites seem to be only fully compatible with IE. For general surfing and looking for news articles, I use Opera. And for searching for articles for my blogs, I use Firefox and/or Flock.
