What browser do y'all use

Tabbed browsing - I have DSL through SBC/Yahoo (guess it's ATT/Yahoo now), and the browser supplied by Yahoo has tabs.  I stated above it was Internet Explorer, but I guess it is not.
Some of the WWW services like Yahoo and MSN have a toolbar that installs into Internet Explorer and gives extra features such as pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing.

I use Firefox because of the tabbed browsing and the built in pop up block and it is faster than IE6 with the above add-ins. If as someone posted IE7 is faster, I may try it after it comes out of beta.

Firefox.  I have no idea why.  IE is supposed to be a magnet for bad thingies, so I installed FF because someone on THR a couple of years ago said it would be a good thing.

Firefox user here. It annoys me to no end that I have to use IE to access Yahoo Radio.
Agreed.  I use Firefox exclusively, except for that damned yahoo radio thing.

I use Firefox and Thunderbird.
Netscape is a skinned Firefox.
Firefox has a great RSS manager function.
Tabbed browsing is great.

I got fed up with virii, popups, spyware, etc. on IE.  Changed to Firefox and added a decent hosts file and manager (Hostsman // MVPS) and the accumulation of garbage stopped cold.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

IE 7

I do however use Firefox for TOR. I used it for a while combined with Tunderbird, but have since moved to a web baised email system for portability reasons.

Firefox.  I like the built-in FTP functions for my webserver.

Opera got a bit glitchy for my tastes.
