i’ve never understood the mentality of accepting the package deal. as if we’re so homogenously bland that one size will fit all. it doesnt. we’re all far more varied and diverse than that, and as such, we need stuff tailor made for us n our specific, changing needs.

ie is sluggish spyware, the only thing it should ever be used for (despite its admirable efforts to catch up with the other browsers) is to download another browser.

i use opera for it’s torrent feature, and would use it for everything if other browsers didnt have other features i like.

i use seamonkey for its speed, simplicity, directness and inbuilt editor, since its a whole suite, not just the browser.

i use firefox for… well, several reasons. though i have noticed it get a little bloatier, despite other people assuring me 3 is faster than 2, i aint seeing it as so on my pc. well anyways, its my fallback, my primary back up browser if main browser fails.

i use konqueror (when in KDE in Linux anyways) for its supperb integration with the filing system and other well integrated logical intuitive features of the desktop environment/wm, it’s excelent for its profiles already set up in it (web, tabbed web, midnight commander, etc) and u can make your own, i LOVE it’s feature where u can basically walk around the net telling different websites that you’re not a suselinux 9.1 using konqueror, but are instead a win 98 on a PPC using exporer 5.5… or many other identifications too. hahaha. brilliant. and theres just loads of other little touches i love too. though sometimes the odd video codec of something is pesky to set up, n firefox is my fall back.

amaya… i’ve yet to get into using it often… but it holds much promise.

k-meleon… the progression from version to version seems a litle undirected and uncertain, very non-linear. some versions i loved the buttons, n then one upgrade later they’ve hidden your cookies on/off button (and the rest) in a menu somewhere… rwar.
lovely little speedy though.
