(there could've been a thread like this before, but alas I dont care.. I am THE CEE !!)

Been using the firefox since the 1.2 version and i must say it's realy good
Allthough there are still some sites with lots of frames that get kinda messed up every now and again ..
But all in all i think this would be the best one

Internet Explorer coz I'm Hyper
???
Never saw the post-your-desktop thread? I stepped away from IE since MS decides not to update IE6 on Win2K with the needed security fixes from XP SP2.
So unless MS gives 2K a decent IE version again I'll stay with ff. And it's quite a nice alternative. The best thing is that it stores it's settings and profile in a separate folder so the settings don't get lost when I do a restore of my system image.

I'm a firefox person. And I also use another great free program: Open Office. It's worth looking into.

I have "free PDF" too, which works based on GhostScript (probably some Linux clone...). Quality is a bit higher compared to the Open Office PDF explorer, 100% freeware too, and works like the "real" Adobe distiller, being a virtual printer driver so can create PDFs out of anything that can print...
But browser... Opera...
Only browser so far that have seen which has features like:
- no referrer logging
- java script function disabling (you can disable specific java script calls)
- images on/off with one mouseclick
