Browsers
This may have already been discussed, as a matter of fact I would bet money that it already has, however I'm interested in finding out from all of you what browser is the best to use. I currently use IE and I know, shame on me, but with so many options out there I am interested in knowing which one is king.
Thanks in advance.

I've used Opera and Firefox.
Opera seemed a bit faster, but Firefox's extensions are priceless.
The IE--->Firefox transition is also the easiest thing I've ever seen on a computer. FF is pretty much IE that doesn't suck.
Oh, when you get Firefox, make sure you get the MouseGestures extension.
I can't live without it after getting used to it.

This thread really took off. I appreciate all the input and have dl'ed FF, with IE sitting in the wings until I get accustomed to FF and most importantly, the wife gets accustomed to it. I really haven't noticed any improvements with regards to load speeds, but from what I have read the security that it provides is well worth the effort of learning how to use it.
As far as "extensions" go, which one's should I dl that are must haves?
Thanks,
