Which browser do you use? I gues you could call this research so thanks if you answer. I'll link my new site as soon as its done (trying to code it without any tables is a pain!).
I'm a firefox head myself, It's perfect for me with my fav feature being 'open in new tab'.

Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1, apparently. Does the job very nicely i must say. Apart from having to open IE to use javascript applications, but that's just down to my intense laziness in downloading firebird plugins.

MyIE (now renamed to Maxthon) is a program which uses the IE engine, and has all the modern comfort-browsing features like MDI (tabs), ad fighting (excellent working one!), and many more.

it's also free..

IE (Microsoft) like to make up their own web standards though. There's a massive coding for cross-funcitional compatability is a fucking nightmare. If something doesnt appear properly in Firefox then it's likely that its right and it's the fact that actually it shouldnt appear like that in IE.

some bugs i have in firefox0.9 and don't have in MyIE0.913:
1) gmail login shitty: i start typing the username in firefox and it automatically throws the focus into the password field after i typed two or one letter in username. Bothers rather strongly.
2) when signing out gmail in firefox, browsing in another tab, the focus jumps into the gmail welcome page into the inactive tab.
these are obviously small bugs of gmail intensive javascript, but it works fine in myie.
Myie has a big bug concerned with selection of text in fields and addressbar. The program can sometimes hang itself if you work with selection, trying to quickly select a text part... i hope this is removed in last versions.

Its funny cos a lot of people put up with or assume ie6 is the best because it comes with the pc!? its not like its coded open-source or anything either.
eg. firefox is coded by any programmer in the world that can correct a bug or increase functionality and offers their help to the team. same with a lot of these free browsers. you'll often find they are 'better' than ie in many ways..

ideologically firefox is way better than IE. Nobody argues.
and it is better by functionality and friendliness. Nobody argues. i'm just used to this over-ie proga I use, and it is a bit more friendly than firefox, still, as for me.

You're not supposed to tell the difference. It quietly and efficiently works faster and renders pages better. It's not supposed to have bells on. If you want bells install some extensions.

The default skin is fine - the only configuring I do is to hide the bookmarks toolbar, customize the navigation bar to make the icons smaller, and in tools -> options -> advanced, have it find when I start typing and select new tabs opened from links.
I also like to install a few extensions (mouse gestures, DownThemAll) but it's perfectly usable without them.

I'll take your word for it, i've just tested out a few pages that 0.6.1 had problems with and they load fine now. I can do without bells and whistles and all that jiggery pokery though, bog standard firefox'll do for me.

I don't think anyone who uses IE doesn't know this, well at least not on this board, but if you don't really have a lot of problems with IE and you're not much bothered about the ethics of internet-browsers.. why change it?

Firefox. I used to use Opera, but for some reason that thing really drains memory after a while. I heard it was the fastest but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong so I switched over to Firefox, which I don't like as much, but my computer handles it better. I use them for the tabbed browsing, nothing more.

Internet Explorer would shit all over Firefox if it wasn't for the integration with Explorer. If the upcoming IE7 is what Microsoft says it will be (ie. completely removed from the core file handling system) then it will shit all over Firefox.
IE is much much slicker than Firefox. And open source doesn't necessarily = excellence, or more security, but more often than not they get away with things a lot more than Microsoft.
At the moment I use Firefox but plan on at least giving IE7 a decent usage about a month after it is released.

There's lots of pages I reserve for use with Internet Explorer exclusively, work better. I guess I have to download some plug-ins or extensions to make Opera and Firefox work correctly with all pages, but I can't be bothered. I'd use IE if it had tabbed browsing built in.

I always use IE, i have Firefox and Oracle for testing but I just feel happier with IE.
What's wrong with tables? All my work relies on tables. I'll be fucked if I can't use tables.
