    Looking for recomendations for an internet browser. I use explorer and netscape navigator 8.1 which is my preference but have been told and been recently experiencing browser problems. SO what is a good browser with autofill and bookmark modifiable toolbar.

    whats out there besides firefox?

    The best browser has to be Internet Explorer. This is because it runs almost any activex control, has the most compatability, and offers the most. It may have copied some concepts from other browsers but in the end compatibility is all important. Opera is not something I've tried but still I know IE will be the one standing when the open source guys stop programming Opera or Firefix.

    I stand by IE too. For all the fancy bits and pieces offered by the others they've yet to replicate IE's smoooth scrolling. They clunk up and down like a cow climbing the stairs.

    What's that? Oh, OK. Up, then.

    Despite the lack of snappyness, I'd have to say firefox.

    k-meleon is also nice, but windows only. And KDE is developing what looks to be a very impressive web browser.

    I like Firefox, and that's what I use. I did try Opera once, and my first impression was really good. It had some good features, but I think I'll just stick to what I currently use.

    why dont any of you use Netscape Navigator?

    I found Opera as a cool design but all the tab openings get redirected to another link which requires multiple clicking to get to a site.

    Firefox seems ok so far.

    Netscape reminds me of Imacs...and I am not a supporter of imacs. And netscape always needs some sort of upgrades to see a java file and latest flash and such.

    I tend to switch between opera and firefox every few months.

    Now I am on Firefox.

    My vote goes to firefox as the best browser. It seems like I haven't encountered single pop up window in months, it checks spelling, and the Adblock extension has vastly improved my internet surfing experience.

    The only con w/firefox is there isn't as much HTML compatibility as IE

    firefox

    not a firefox problem, but bad bad web design.

    Oh and there is an add on that allows FF to mask it self as IE, should you happen to stumble a pone a page that says it requires IE
