I like Firefox the best.
Second Internet Explorer.
Opera last.

Firefox.
Rarely crashes. Hundreds of available add-ons allow a high level of customization.

Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer tends to crash with many of the available add-ons.
Per
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/aa740486.aspx
"If you are having problems with Internet Explorer 7 hanging, crashing, silently closing or other bizarre behavior, an incompatible toolbar or other add-on maybe involved. The fastest way to determine if an add-on is causing the problem is to run Internet Explorer 7 with no add-ons."
Recommended IE7 add ons:
BackRex: Backup favorites, history, proxy settings, fonts, dialup accounts, autocomplete passwords and cookies.
http://www.backsettings.com/internet-explorer-back...
Google toolbar
IE7Pro: Includes Tabbed Browsing Management, Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Web Accelerator, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins and many more power packed features.
McAfee Site Advisor
================
Opera
Fastest and most secure.
Has built in popup blocking (so does IE7 and Firefox)
Has a built in ad blocker.
Instead of add ins they have Widgets. Google and Yahoo do not offer toolbars for Opera. Opera does have a third party Google toolbar widget that is unable to dock to the browser and covers up sections of the browser. No highlight text or search site function.
Most of the Widgets are in my opinion garbage. Highest rated include: Analogue clock, Sim Aquarium, Sketchbook, etc. Most widgets could easily have been designed to run separate from the browser; most widgets do nothing to add additional features to the browser.
To make matters worse when you minimize Opera all the Widgets do not minimize with the browser, they just continue to float by themselves over to screen.

Internet Explorer (IE) 6 is the default one with XPand it's terrible. It's so out of date it should be in a museum. IE 7 is a lot better, but it's still a little clunky for my taste, and it still doesn't quite adhere to the generally agreed upon standards set by the Internet community. Firefox has become the most popular 3rd party browser by far mainly because it is lightweight and full of addon features. It is also available on multiple platforms, so a user can be equaly comfortable surfing the Internet on a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Opera is another popular browser that is quite advanced on the home computer and has been actively exploring alternative areas of browsing, such as Nintendo Wii and mobile phones.

Mopzilla has two browsers, the Firefox browser, and Sea Monkey, which is a complete suite.
Although MSIE 7 is a whole lot better than MSIE 6, it's still not as compliant with standards as Mozilla is, and it's more vulnerable to malware.
I prefer Sea Monkey, because I have a number of sites where I use one username/password to administer the site, and a different username/password to use the site. When prompted for a username/password, SeaMonkey allows me to pick from a menu, while FireFox and MSIE leave me slackjawed, trying to remember what my username and password are.
SeaMonkey also allows a lot of customizations that neither FireFox nor MSIE allow. It's just a lot more civilized piece of software to use.

This is a personal choice but I like Mozilla browser. It has tabbed browsing like IE but it seems that more problems are arising with IE 7. Plus Mozzila has built in pop up blockers and lots of extensions.

Internet Explorer 7. Nicest look and Mozilla has a habit of freezing up online games, and its also slower. Opera is a good one two, looks great and very secure. I'll rank them for ya
1. IE7
2. Opera
3. Mozilla

Opera is the one that i prefer
* its highly costomizable
* content blocker keeps my regular sites clean
* back feature is the fasttest of the three
* you can easily open accidently closed tabs by the trash bin on the side.
* right click mostly used information through insert personal (Gem of a feature)
