Ok, reformatting later tonight but wanted to know what browser you guys use. I hate internet explorer and currently use firefox. Firefox is ok but it's been kind of laggy lately on startup. Anyone use Opera? How is that?

I had been using Firefox since it came out, loved it, until recently it got a lil laggy and decided to wipe ALL of my bookmarks. Yes I shoulda saved them but jeez thats a bug and a half........as for IE, fuck no.

So, now I use Opera and am really liking it so far. Once you get used to the little differences and start customizing it then it just gets better. The pop-up blocker actually works, its quicker than Firefox in my opinion and also the password wand thing is very useful. I say go for Opera freak:

I think you go to bookmarks manager and click 'export'

for some reason, my firefox stopped blocking pop ups. Whenever i got to gf1.com for example, i get a media.fastclick.net popup, which never used to happen until a week ago (when coincidently, my norton antivirus expired). Does anyone else have this problem?
