FirefoxFirefox is a hot browser right now, hotter than Hansel.
| The Good: | Tabbed browsing keeps all your web pages in one window, add-ons like Adblock keep advertisements and pop-ups from appearing on pages, very secure against programs hijacking your browser, it's skinnable and it's free |
| The Bad: | It's not much more stable than Internet Explorer and it's not much faster either |
| For: | Windows, Mac, Linux |
AvantAvant is a new browser, based on Internet Explorer
| The Good: | Bookmarks are available anywhere online, tabbed browsing, plug-in options and its free |
| The Bad: | Because it's built on Internet Explorer, it's just as slow and it's not all that easy to use |
| For: | Windows |
OperaOpera is a bit more obscure, but its goal is to become the leanest and meanest browser out there, with every feature of its competitors
| The Good: | Opera is as quick and easy as it gets for browsers, it also has support for torrents, tabbed browsing, it's likely the safest browser there is and its free |
| The Bad: | Not skinnable |
| For: | Windows, Mac, Linux |
My Verdict: Firefox is dominant, and makes an easier transition from whatever stock browser you're running now. But if you're already running that and want a new option, go for Opera.

Good Info. I'm partial to Firefox as well. I think the security is the biggest upside. I tried Opera, but it didn't work well with my system which is a bit older.
I just started using Firefox last year. I had been using IE up until then. I really like Firefox though. I'm glad to know I made the right choice.
Internet Exploder, Fire Pox, Slopera? Give me a real option here Holing!
