I have tried (I think) all browsers, and so far this is the list:
Opera is by far, my favorite. I didn't even know about it, until accidentally trying it out. The plugins for it, are endless. The features that I use the most, are only really useful for those with a mouse and a scroll interface. That allows me to browse blazingly fast, and it has become my favorite feature. Then, there is organization of buttons and websites, which so far, others can not even begin to come as close. The reliability of the browser, is my highest priority; at least usually. For this browser, I most appreciate the crash restore; this allows me to continue surfing, practically, where I left off.
IE 7: What can I say, I used this for the longest time, and until I met Opera, this was the most reliable and trusting friend for surfing. Even if they copied what other browsers, were already doing; so what? At least they got it there..
Firefox: Not sure what all of the hype is about; I haven't been able to see this perform, anywhere near as well as Opera has for me. Comments are very much appreciated, on why Firefox does it for you. Have you not tried Opera, before?
IE8: What a disaster.. I most likely will never go back to IE, again. What used to work, like competition forcing Microsoft to put out a better browser; it is no longer working. I saw very, very, little improvements, at all. Sure there were some integration of some services; that isn't enough for me, to call it an improvement. Sorry, Microsoft.
Thanks,
