Re: Best Browser!!!
I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 for Macintosh today and it is mind blowing! For starters, it is FAAST! It absolutely beats the crap out of any other browser, including Opera version 9.10 for Macintosh, in the speed department.
Apart from that, the web pages opened in Firefox simply look more beautiful than the same pages opened in Opera (though I do not know the reason behind it), there is in-built spell checking as-you-type (Opera does not offer as-you-type spell checking) and the scrolling is very smooth. I think I have converted to Firefox.
I still miss Opera's trash though. Navigating to 'History >> Recently Closed Tabs' is two clicks and a lot of mouse movement.

Re: Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2
I read an article in Hindu newspaper comparing both IE 7.0 & FF 2.0. The author of the
article says "IE 7.0 is just a clean copy of FireFox with it's features like tabbed browsing, etc.,!!"
FireFox 2.0 is always better. IE 7.0 is a bulky download, also it hogs lot of System resources!!

difrnt surveys giv difrnt answrs. what matters is ur personal experience and preference ultimately.
check this zdnet link :
Is Firefox 2.0 a dud?
Firefox 2.0 has been out for a week and the download counter is already well past 2 million. But a vocal group of Firefox users have generated quite a long list of gripes and grievances regarding this latest release. Some are even saying that upgrading to 2.0 might not be a good idea.
So what's behind all this? Here's a quick short list of the most popular Firefox 2.0 gripes:
Random freezes
Poor antiphishing technology
Confused Options dialog box
Bulky, inconsistent theme
Incompatibility with extensions
Memory leaks
CSS issues
Buggy history bar

@Aryayush: Have you tried Omniweb for Mac? Better than all these put together.... Personally I use Safari on mac/Firefox on windows.
Using IE feels no non tech. Its like those who use IE know nothing about the IT scene...and I don't like to be one of them.

Re: Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2
I have used Firefox, Kamino, Opera and Safari. I have heard of OmniWeb and Shiira but never tried them. OmniWeb is paid software and many of Opera's features are lacking. Shiira looks very promising and I am going to download it any day now. It is still beta software.
