    Firefox is very good, and I came up with the most pros for it, and everyone I've used all three, I think those were fair and honest pros and cons.

    Funnle, to understand what I mean, you have to understand how a wrapper / browser works. If it fails to connect once (For any reason), a good wrapper or browser would keep trying. Firefox doesn't.

    Personally I believe others are better, but as this is a family computer I dont have much say in it. I do have Internet Explorer and it is probably going to stay like that till I get a new computer for myself. So IE for me.

    Opera all the way! You can edit source-html and then reload from cache so it looks like you HTML'ed it :p . Can used that reload cache for cheating neopets. Opera 8 is voice activated. It can be masked as;

    Opera
    Mozilla 5.0
    Mozilla 4.78
    Mozill 3.0
    MSIE 6.0

    Not to mention awesome interface, tabbed browsing, edit alot of settings (unlike ff). Plus opera is made by norway guys, and norway guys kick-ass at programming.

    OPERA ALL THE WAY!

    All you FireCox users need to stop living in the past, opera is the future of browsing :p .

    GET OPERA NOW!
