Approximatley every four years I've changed web browsers. When my family first go the internet back in 1996, we used Netscape Navigator because that's what our ISP supplied us with. Sometime duing my first year of college, I made the switch to Internet Explorer. I think Eric may have talked me into it. I jumped ship once again when Firefox started gaining popularity.
Two weeks ago, Firefox began crashing on me. I was forced to use Internet Explorer. I don't hate IE. I have to use it at work, and I've grown to like it. And IE7Pro adds some nice features. But I still prefer Firefox. I decided to give Firefox 3 Beta 3 a shot, but some of the changes they've made are annoying. Hopefully the final product won't be so disappointing.
Last week I started using Opera, and it is quickly becoming my browser of choice. The last time I tried Opera (not counting the Internet Channel on my Wii), you either had to buy it or use an ad-supported version. Now it's totally free, thanks to Google. Opera is light and fast, everything I liked about Firefox in the early days. It isn't without its problems though. Most notably is a lack of support for Yahoo Mail Beta.
Right now I'm using all three browsers equally. The decision on which browser gets me through to 2012 is up in the air at this point.
