I miss the following options:
* Links / Lynx
* Opera
* None of the above (specify)

Since I can't vote, I vote Opera.

I used to like the mozilla suite, love at first sight when my dad installed dual-boot with redhat 7.1 on the box... However redhat did'nt want to connect to the 'net (at least, we did'nt manage to do it... EICON USB ISDN-adapter.). Therefore I just tested it out locally. Mainly because of the net, I continued with windows ME and internet explorer. Then some months later, I downloaded and installed, was it netscape 6 or something? Then I used it until I got my hands on Firefox 0.8 on windows, and used firefox ever since, after I converted to fedora core 1 aswell (which connected with a seperate ISDN-card

What is konqueror? I have Mandriva 10.1 with KDE, it seems to be a browser, but also access' folders/files etc. Is it like 'explorer' in windows, where it is context sensitive and can browse local/remote folders/sites?

The reason I ask is that I installed (and tend to use) Firefox, but before I did so I was using konqueror, which also seems to default for browsing files/folders. Sorry if this sounds dumb, I'm a Newbie!

Back to the discussion:

Firefox, (even on M$Win) is definatly a winner.

Firefox simply because I don’t check my pop3 e-mail THAT often so I don’t need to load the complete suite.

pros of Konqueror is that it has IMO nicer buttons inside the pages (uses the KDE widgets), and usually loads faster than mozilla on KDE systems... It's also pretty easy to make konqueror identify itself as mozilla/opera/ie/whatever. it can run mozilla plugins.

Firefox for browsing - LOVE those extensions, for example, the one that lets you easily find the folder of a bookmark that you've found with the search function, the one that lets you create a tiny url that won't get broken by wordwrap when you email it to your friends, and the one that lets you control who gets to run javascripts on your machine. And what about that Stumbleupon extension? Makes websurfing fun again.

Mozilla for creating and maintaining my simple websites.

IE running on a Windows box when Intuit or someone else forces me to do it.

I used to use Thunderbird for my email, but it kept losing my address books, so I've switched to Kontact with Kmail and I've got my fingers crossed.

I've been using Mozilla as of recently. I still like firefox, but it seems to run significantly slower then mozilla, and I don't use the extentions that much.
