Opera is lovely.
You can try it on your PHONE/SYSTEM

Yes, unbeknown to many it's already very popular software.

It just hasn't grabbed a big part of the home pc browser market.

To me it just seems cleaner and more light weight. But still gets the job done. I like how when you start typing in a web address the choices appear right in the address window. You don't have to scroll down to the one you want like in FF. For instance, I just start typing 'chr' in Opera and immediately 'christianforums.net appears and I just have to hit 'enter'. In Firefox I have to purposely move to that search result and click. Sometimes I miss, lol.

May seem petty, but my overall impression of Opera is it's ease of use. Apparently there are many neat features I haven't taken the time to explore.

I like to tell people 'Opera rocks'...(you know like in 'rock opera'. Okay, only the seventies album rock generation would get that...).

Absolutely on my Droid! I've found no browser compares to Opera Mini!

If/when Opera becomes more popular perhaps someone will write an addin to suppress banner ads for that browser, too.

Ad-Block Plus should come standard on Firefox and any other browser! When I get on a new rig, the first thing I do is add Firefox. The second thing I do is download Ad-Block Plus! Being ad-free on the internet... It's a beautiful thing! :yes

I'm trying out NoScript. After allowing certain scripts to run on the sites I visit most by option I'm beginning to like it. It's a discipline though. Takes a little getting used to.

I have 11 other addons including Adblock Plus.

You can't really get rid of IE altogether when running Windows. I've tried. It's still on my computer though....
somewhere.

Yeah!!
FOR Mobile Phones:

I also use UC Browser

. It is very good for multi-tasking and heavy download.


And to view whole page content Bolt Browser is the champion

Since I don't know what you're talking about with "scripts", and I love experimenting with add-ons, I'll have to do some investigating.

Hands down Mozilla Fire fox for sure as I do not get all those send error reports from IE. The only thing is I can't get adobe flashplayer to download because the newer version is not compatible with 64 bit and for some reason the older versions will not come up when I try to access them.

Firefox for sure! Although I do find it a tad bit faster than Internet Exploder, I'm more concerned about security. FF is more secure.

If you really need to use IE for something, just add this to your FF install:

You can quickly load an IE page using the mouse's right click menu.

For Face Book Fire -Fox is Fantasticly inFuriating

If your only options are IE or Firefox, I would back you on the Fox all the way. However, I would like to stress how light and smooth navigation on Google Chrome is, which is my recommendation.
