Firefox, the tabbed browsing is a god send, and if you know basic code you can totally customize it

Opera (Windows) at home, Opera & Firefox (Linux) in work...

I very rarely use IE at home, now, only for things which behind-the-times web-designers decide to make IE the only usable browser for.

Use IE.. Firefox just seems like a child play version of IE...

If you have common sense, then you won't get pop ups all the time and will run fine.
