I voted for the "I don't use the internet". The only reason I chose that one though is because I don't use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

I like my Safari program for web browsing. I never have to worry about pop ups since they're always blocked. (A feature I have yet to see Internet Explorer and Firefox take hold of)

For my virtual money between the 4 (yes, i have tried them all) I prefer Firefox. It is still the most secure browser out there in regards to protection against phishing schemes currently on the go. This is one thing Safari doesn't have, as Paypal warns users of in this article:

Quote:

San Jose (CA) - Ebay's online payment site Paypal has issued a warning that Apple's Safari browser makes users more vulnerable to phishing.

Safari is the default browser on Macintosh computers and the iPhone. A PC version was also released last year. Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying it is one the safest Web browser available. However, Paypal disagrees.

"Apple, unfortunately, is lagging behind what they need to do, to protect their customers," said Paypal chief security officer in a PC World story. "I'd love to say that Safari was a safer browser, but at this point it isn't."

Safari does not have built-in phishing filters like the most recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera do. It also does not include Extended Validation certificates, another technology used to block phishing attacks.

I found both Opera and IE a bit clunkier to use, especially the newer IE with things placed around all over the browser. I also wound up with problems regarding java in Opera.

BTW, I've added both Safari and Opera to your poll to make things fair.

This is why I do not use paypal. I buy stuff with gift certificates.

I always used IE, but recently I made the switch to fire fox and I like it so much better. The built in spell checker is awesome!!

I have tried them all at certain times and I have came to realize Firefox is the best for me.
