Firefox - Page 2

IE is still king as far as compatibility, especially in the business environment. Things look a little better in IE as well, IMO. But Firefox is safer because it's not a target yet like IE. I love all the extensions available for it, too. If IE works better for the way you use it then I wouldn't switch either.

The fastest browser remains Opera, we have a thread here comparing all the major ones. Maxthon browser is based on IE and has Tabbed browsing funtionality. It has been downloaded 23,273,604 times!

It's a matter of choice and Firefox and its many extensions has me hooked. I open twenty pages at a time, set up your bookmarks properly and in categories and it becomes raw speed!

That doesn't compare to Firefox's 45,751,053 downloads in in only 4.5 months.
That's almost 2x the downloads in 1/4 of the time.

True indeed, but no one is advertising Maxthon! So it's quite an impressive achievement and yes, I'm well aware of the numbers for Firefox.
