Its still difficult to believe that something as great as Firefox is free. It is completely customizable, and almost never crashes. I have tried google chrome and its a good browser but it does not have all the add-ons firefox has.
 
FF - Open source is a beautiful thing. I agree about Chrome. I wouldn't doubt for it to be number one after another release or 2. Google will probably start incorporating apps into it so that you never have to open other programs.

SoWal.com vistor stats:
IE - 73%
FF - 18%
Safari - 6%
Opera - .1%
Other and mobile make up the remainder.
 
Firefox is definitely number one in my book. IE and Chrome are crap in comparison. However, when everyone gets on FireFox, it will be more likely to be a focus for hackers.
 
Can you install FF without deinstalling IE? I'd like to try it but don't want to set up an any conflicts...
 
singingchix,

Yes, you can install FF without touching IE. Same for the other browsers. I keep IE loaded b/c there is one site which I frequent which is only about 95% compatible with FF, so I have to use IE every once in a while for the 5% which isn't compatible. I actually use a beta FF, in addition to the regular one, IE and Chrome -- all installed without issues. You can go into your default programs under the "Start" ("set program access and defaults") menu, and set your default browser to whichever you want.
 
Speaking of free, I've switched from my outdated versions of MS Office to OpenOffice - and it is great! Word processing, spreadsheets, drawings, presentations, and it's all free and (I think) just as good as Office. You can even save the documents in Office formats.

I'm really surprised to see only one Mac user (Safari) in the poll. Any comments on how it works?

I am on a Mac, but I still use Firefox. When I came over from PC, I was already in love with it. Safari sits by as a back up.

Flock is a cool browser based on firefox, but it is for social networking addicts. It integrates with facebook, twitter, myspace etc...
