FireFox; I used to have Opera as a 'backup', but I never got into it. I'm now Firefox-only.

IE - ew

Confused

I use Opera @ Home & FireFox @ Work.

Hmm, considering I spend more time online while at work

I'll go with Firefox. Although, I do have one gripe with FF, it takes a long time for the 3rd party addons to catch up with the new versions.

Firefox with the NoScript plug-in.

Whew! This thread return sure came as a surprise!!

I finally went with IE7. While it works okay, it's not compatible with some websites.

I work on different computers every day..majority is IE6&7...about 1 in 4 is Firefox....with misc others occasionally.

IE7, but only with highest security settings as often as possible (if you see a non-formatted posting by me, then I forgot to soften these settings before posting). If operated that way (very rigid), IE is better than it's reputation.

Tried Netscape...didnt take...
Tried Opera...didnt take...
Tried FireFox...never looked back!

Sooo much faster and stable then IE
