Alright I just wanted to get your opinion on what web browser si the best,what you prefer etc. To help out I thought I'd post an article first.
Browser Smackdown: Firefox vs. IE vs. Opera vs. Safari
Here's 4 articles why these people prefer the browser they do.Note the Safari one refers to Safari 2. Safari 3.03 is out and is available for Windows XP,Vista, and Linux.So head on over to Apple downloads to catch up if you have to.

I have all four and to me they own have their distinct advantages except IE 7. I only use IE 7 when I have to use a website not compatible with my other browsers or an browsing files through my computer.It's far behind the other browsers IMHO.
Firefox is good because it has by far the most add ons allowing me to customize it to my hearts content. From built in del.icio.us to let me access my bookmarks from anywhere,colorful tabs for easy tabbed browsing,good proxy support,web developer tools and much more firefox is an Open Source monster.
Safari is the most user friendly and the fastest browser on my computer. It has the best bookmarks interface by far. Organizing bookmarks is alot like organizing bookmarks in iTunes.Folders,subfolders and a great drag and drop interface. I can drag a folder into a subfolder and vice versa and thanks to the bookmarks button on the toolbar I can quicly save a page to a bookmarks folder and a sub folder if it exists.Also it has great keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+alt+b to go into bookmars and ctrl+click to open a link in a new tab if right clicking to do it is too slow for me.It has a built in autofill feature allowing me to quickly fill out even long complex forms with ease.
It alos has snap back allowing me to go back to my search results or the home page of a site without hitting back a million times.Also has a great easily customizeable toolbar and is extremely simplified and yes its a beautiful looking browser. I can also merge all windows into tabs or drag out tabs into windows.
Opera to me is describe din one word:features. It is full of features..... spellcheck,speed dial,cascade,tile,new tab, and widgets. It's also as fast as Safari.LOL it has too many features to list.
So for me I pick
1 Safari or Opera(can't decide)
2 Firefox
3 IE 7
People may be passionate about their favorite sports team, but if you really want to get them fired up, ask what Web browser they use.
There's the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" crowd who tend to stick with the browser that's included with their operating system -- Microsoft's Internet Explorer on Windows and Apple's Safari on the Mac. There are the "I've just gotta be me" folks who prefer lesser-known browsers, such as Opera from Opera Software. And there are the "live free or die" open-source true believers who champion Mozilla's Firefox above its commercial counterparts.
