Read this Browser Comparison[^] and decide yourself. Its not up-to-date but it's nice technical comparison. In summary I found one line: Opera seems to be the fastest browser for Windows. Firefox is not faster than Internet Explorer

Waste of time. People can't be persuaded from their favourite browser. Most are indifferent and just use whatever happens to be the default on their system.

Never tried Opera, I have no reason to try it either.
mouse gestures are realllllly cool. it took me many months to lose the urge to control IE with gestures, after i stopped using Opera.
Took me a while to take to gestures. First discovered them ages ago in Opera. But only started using them a few months ago in IE7 via the IE7Pro add-in. Then downloaded the Mouse Gestures add-on for Firefox. Now I'm hooked and use them whichever browser I'm using (I use all three).

With anyone else I would think that was a joke.

Your lack of faith disturbs me... The feeble might of the Browser is nothing compared to power of the CListCtrl.

IE6 / 7 - I use it because there is no reason to use anything else. It just works. It always works. Additionally, I am not stupid, so even without anti-virus/malware, I very very very rarely ever become a victim of a browser based exploit/phishing intrusion. And in the very, very, very rare circumstamces when I do have to deal with one of these, I treat it as a learning experience so that when someone I know calls me up having the same problem, I know where to start.

You've been a browser-exploit/pishing victim? Wow, what happened, what was it like?

:doh: Yeah meant to say something like: "most are indifferent but those who do have a favourite can't be persuaded to change."

Speed is not the only criterion. Overall features should count. It's what I go by.

You can't be a programmer then. I used to have add-ins in the past which numbered all the hyperlinks so that I didn't have to move my hands of the keyboard.
It all depends on the context. IMO the nature of web browsing is such that most of the time it's more efficient to use the mouse. I do however make use of tools such as the Advanced Google Keys Greasemonkey script to enable navigation of Google search results via the keyboard. In general (e.g., when using Visual Studio) I find a combination of mouse, [speciallly selected] toolbar buttons + keyboard shortcuts to be the most productive way to work. I find menus to be the least productive.

None of the above - I use CListCtrl for all my browsing needs.

You are in the very beginning of the path my yang apprentices/Yoda voice here/! I extend the CTreeView making every node an instance of CListView and all CListView’s in the CTreeView now browsing the net simultaneously. In fact I’m the only person in existence who can browse all internet web sites within a couple of minutes just expanding my CTreeView nodes.
The narrow specialist in the broad sense of the word is a complete idiot in the narrow sense of the word.

Hardly use the mouse in VS, but that's just me.
