Where's Netscape Navigator?
That falls under Firefox

Netscape Navigator --> Mozilla --> Firefox

3.6.4 is the latest. You should check it out. Faster, more secure..and as of today, 3.6.4 means Flash, Silverlight, etc run in a separate process from the main browser. If Flash crashes (as it does), it doesn't take the browser with it anymore.

Occasionally I use IE8 because I want to have more than one browser open at once (logged in to something as two different accounts, for instance).

Wow, Poly is not very representative. Why is everyone so high on FF?

IE7&8 aren't awful for the consumer but they make it hell for the developer. IE6 on the other hand doesn't fully implement CSS for christ's sake. Do the world a favor and ****ing upgrade if you're still using it.

It's ridiculously fast and responsive with the cleanest UI of any browser. Highly recommended.

Also, the reason so many people use IE still is because business sysadmins are ****ing shitty (or more often, their bosses are ****ing shitty) and they refuse to upgrade.
The real reason is way too many internal company apps depend on IE6 "features" and would break in newer browsers. The sysadmins usually would like nothing more to ditch IE.

IE8 is SUCH A GODDAMN PAIN IN THE ASS. I have spent more time trying to get my MOTHER****ING javascript crap for my school's intranet working than....argh! It's hard and annoying and I hate it!
I made really JS-heavy web app to create and edit polygons (in various layers) over a map of Canada.

Even though IE supports the JS I use, the speed is so slow it's not usable. It takes like 2-3 seconds to add a new point to the polygon. It's virtually instantaneous in Firefox and completely instantaneous in Chrome.

It isn't the speed that sucks, its the fact that IE8 simply refuses to render things properly. Things are in the wrong places, jumbled over each other, screwed up, it's unbelievable and gives me migraines just thinking about it.

Different techniques for the Javascript VM.

Firefox 4 will even the playing field once they implement the new Jaegermonkey javascript engine. But it's not ready yet.

Why is it it that once you vote, you can no longer see who voted for what?

IE9 will be a respectable browser, I think. They're trying really, really hard to catch up speed-wise and seem to have done so from the preview builds. They're also slowly catching up to the support for web standards all of the other browsers have.

We just need to kill IE 6-8 quickly.
