After installing IE 8 and hating it I have eventually worked my way around to Opera, but what browser do you use and why?

Firefox is by far the most powerful. Google Chrome is by far the fastest.

The I.E. series does not deserve the title of "web browser". It destroys every website it visits. I know because I'm a web designer.

i sometimes have to use firefox when explorer fails to open some sites.

I use IE out of habit. I'm lazy like that

Used to use IE for years but I eventually realized how shitty it is and now I'm loyal to firefox.

I recently rediscovered the Fasterfox extension which really speeds up browsing, as well as the about:config changes that speed up networking. My Firefox is now almost as fast as Chrome / Opera which is nice.

OK I'll play with Firefox a bit more.

How do I get my favourites over? And where do I get fasterfox?

When you install Firefox you should get the option to transfer favourites over. Otherwise in Firefox click File -> Import.

Fasterfox is available here: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

I also use these extension (and recommend them):

I'm a big fan of Firefox. Opera is great as well, I love the little features is has by default that are only available in Firefox by extensions (which isn't really that much of a flaw). Chrome doesn't really do anything for me, I have no reason to switch from Firefox.
