This thing makes me want to run away.

Right now, I'm using my iPod Touch's browser, because this situation is too scary.

HELP!

What should I use? Mozilla Firefox? Safari? Explorer?

I heard that explorer is not safe and often has bugs. I used to use Mozilla but It looks real ugly. Safari looks real nice but nothing's perfect...

So what should I use?

Oh and tell me what you use. Thanks!

Chrome is light-weight and seems to respond quickly. But Firefox is much more extensible at this point.

I try to avoid IE, but its required sometimes as certain sites require it.

Also, you might want to check out Opera.

I don't have any experience with Safari, but I occasionally use Konqueror which uses the same rendering engine and found that there are problems displaying some pages (not many, but it happens occasionally).

If you want an extremely speedy load time, and don't care about seeing images, I would recommed lynx/links/elinks these are very similar browsers that are text based; newer versions of elinks do support images if you enable that feature. For just checking news, online e-mail, etc. its hard to beat.

I use all of them for various things, and experiment with new ones when they are released. I like comparing how things look, it can be helpful from a "design" point of view. However, I would agree that IE tends to be the most buggy. Getting a bit exasperated sometimes with the new IE8 I'm trying...
