How Many / What Browser / Browsers Do You Use?

[Lee]

Just wondered how many of us used more than one browser and, if you do, which ones?

I have to admit i only use IE however, i did install mozilla and used that a bit before my last re-format.

I can see a few people use a range of browsers on GWW from the log files so, which browser do you use most often and, do you test your sites in a different browser also?

Regards,

Lee

I use firefox for the most part, IE as well, mozillar at times and myie2 on occassion.

When doing a site I check it in both IE and firefox

I prefer firefox simply for the tabbed feature, makes it a bit easier.

95% of the time I use Firefox, and I love it to death.
Occasionally I'll use the old Mozilla Phoenix for certain sites. I have some sites bookmarked with that one or with user/passes stored on that one so that's why I'd use it. That's because I used Phx for awhile before switching to Firebird, and then to Firefox.
I pretty much only use IE for Yahoo! Launchcast Plus and to check browser compatibility. Or do Windows updates or view sites that are IE-dependant.

I love firefox
I use IE with some sites I can trust

I use Firefox 99% of the time. There are a couple of sites that I need to use IE for mainly because of their sloppy HTML construction.

I like Firefox's tabbed feature as well. There are a number of other things I like about it, too. Microsoft has pretty much lost me. They should have released a new version of IE long before now.

I still check my sites mainly in IE though because that's still what most of the world uses.

i use ie because my stats show that between 90-95% of my surfers also use ie....but all this firefox talk is getting me curious, may have to go grab a copy of it.

I use IE6; Netscape 7 when IE6 won't work for whatever reason.

FireFox only, IE when I have to get in the LinkSQL admin menu to review sites because I have to check if people use pop-ups since I use a popup blocker with FF

And I don't know about others but about 20% of my traffic is Firefox/Mozilla

IE 6 -- I've got Netscape 7 installed and sometimes use that to check pages; make sure everything looks decent enough in both browsers.

Less than 5% of traffic to any of my sites is from anything other than IE.

I used to really worry about browser compatibility but not any more.

The first browser I ever used was some sort of text browser, then netscape 1 or 2 and then one day I went to IE 3....

New systems and I put Firefox on all and so far, love it. No longer do I have that annoying window telling me that I'm blocking Active X as I did in IE. The tabbed browsing is great - I have 4 important sites open right now in a single window. I like being able to block popups yet allow some when needed.

Only thing I miss is the Google toolbar and seeing PR on sites.

I have FireFox, Avant, NetScape, IE. Prefer firefox, and IE.

Avant is ok, but not my fav.

Safari 1.2.3 (v125.9) here. What am I the only gay webmaster using a MAC? How can that be... they are so pretty!

[helen of TOY]

I use IE, Netscape, Opera and Mozilla Firefox.

Firefox is my fave...but it doesn't keep the tabs...

Opera does, but it can't open some sites tho.

[Thumbnailer]

latest IE and Opera... I've tried almost all browsers and I still think that Opera and Avant Browser r the best
