What I don't get is what makes some browsers good or bad? IE seems fine for me, it seems easier on the eye to me than Firefox. What does the new browser do? Unless it gives blowjobs and does my washing then I think I'll stick with IE.

Snap!

I am bitter.
(I'm using Firefox at the moment, btw. And I've tried them all.)
I've never really had a problem with Safari. Sometimes it hangs for a second or two, but hey! I don't mind Firefox, but I never think of using it.

I like Firefox's management system, I like it's extra applications you can download, I like how it can adapt to media that wasn't created for Firefox, I like how it hasn't crashed on me since 3.0 (when I didn't use it) and I like the layout but most of all I like how it works with just about any media (video, images, animation ect..) I put in it's path.

It depends on your usage patterns. Personally, I don't use IE itself anymore, but I use a browser - Maxthon - which runs from IE's rendering engine, so I just get a few extra browser features on top of IE basically.
And as a web developer, I should add that current IE versions aren't very friendly of web 'standards' - but as a user you really don't need to worry about that.

I've already forgotten what it was that freaked me out about Safari. Firefox is indeed, as Curt said, the best one at the moment, but that doesn't make it good.
Maybe I'm just hard to please. As always.

Still got Firefox too? - get Firefox three and learn how to spell.
Plasters that leave sticky crap all over the cut (even after vigourous washing), which then picks up more crap.

Surely someone has created a Firefox plugin for blowjobs and washing by now???
The plugins are what keeps me with Firefox. Plus I can use it on both OS X and Windows without much grief.
Unhelpful phone calls. I hate phone calls anyway, but it doesn't help when the person on the other end of the line is completely unaccomodating!
Like ringing BT.
Or AOL.
Or Virgin shitting Media.

There's two chanels, both showing adverts for their wonderful "on demand" thingime that is basically 5 things. Does anyone else spot the flaw in having TWO chanels that are exactly the same?

When I move out I'm getting Sky, you f**king happy now!
After years of fine service and connection I'm leaving them for Sky!

It steams video slightly faster thats all I really notice as a day to day user of it...
