Favorite Web Browser?, Browser Wars FTW Options

My favorite is Firefox. Why? I don't know.

The first one I ever used was NCSA Mosaic. That one was good because of novelty (hyperlinking and everything). So fast forward a bit and...

I was using internet explorer 6. IE6 sucks. Its rendering engine is molasses slow. So along came Firefox. I downloaded it, installed it, and found that it rendered the pages much faster. So I pretty much stuck with that ever since. They didn't have tabbed browsing in the first version of Firefox I tried (I think). That is one of the features I like best about today's browsers. All of them have it, so there's no need to mention it. I also like the bookmark feature... Again no differences between the browsers there.

Calling all Macintosh users: Yes, I know your system comes with a decent web browser (unlike windows systems). You don't need to brag about it.

Safari's good enough for school Macs. The real power of Firefox is in its extensions, and extensions are only for personal use.

I use Firefox, with IETab and All-In-One Gestures to get everything I want from other browsers (except for the memory issue) but I'm using Opera for some downloads now because Firefox doesn't know how to resume downloads (at least not consistently).
