I had really frustrating issue with FF, which decided to put more annoying security measures when accessing a page with SSC, or invalid (for some reason) one, however, with no option to disable the behavior. This turned out to be extremely uncomfortable for env. with many new builds per day and thousands of switches or other constantly-changing env of other sort. Mercifully, there's an extension to bypass the screen. Apart from that, FF still fits by needs best. I was also using the latest Opera under W7, but it appeared very buggy and 'crashy', so I downgraded.

FireFox is the first application I open after logging into my box. It gives me a control over the web sites I am opening.

I choose Opera for this survey a while ago, here's why. Mouse gestures is my favourite feature. I vaguely remember that Chrome has a plugin that can also enable mouse gestures. The speed dial is another great feature I like (and when combined with the mouse gesture for opening a new page, I can get to my favourite pages very quickly).

For people with slower internet connections, they have a feature called "Opera Turbo" which tweaks settings for slower internet connections. I also use Opera as my email client.

I wish Opera would have more plugins and this is its weakness when compared with Firefox (which also happens to be Firefox's greatest strength).

I would always want to use Firefox. And i do most of the time, other than.


Some of my intranet sites & websites dont work well with firefox, so i go for IE7.

And when internet is slow, i am able to chat or check mail in gmail only through Google Chrome, so i use that too.

Firefox. Several of its third-party plugins have made it much easier for me to do remote access than any other browser. I do wish Google was still promoting it instead of having dropped everything to fawn over its own didactic, proprietary chrome browser.
