text: what internet browser do you think is best? i'm currently co-running internet explorer 7 and firefox...  what browser do you think is the best? you can choose from the following:  internet explorer 7, firefox, netscape, opera, or some other internet browser that i'm not aware of.  to help you with your choice, if you don't think it's clear, here are some of the homepages of the web browsers listed above:  ie7: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ netscape: http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/ opera: http://www.opera.com/index.dml  please do not give me a lecture on what is the basis of picking the best browser. if you do give me such a lecture, my finger is hovering over the "report abuse" button... but please give me proof and a few websites if you have them. and the websites should be at least moderately competitive. (in other words, they should criticize at least one other browser.)  only people running windows 2000 and higher answer please... it depends on your application.  some websites only read well with ie5.5 or higher.  ie is more susceptible to virus attacks because it is far more popular and utilized than other browsers.    i use firefox when i can, ie when i need to.  netscape is aol's crappy browser. it used to be good - now it is merely an aol garbage dump (like anything else aol touches)
