Don't lie to people. I use Firefox. Drudge is my home page. Every time I go there, it says "Firefox has blocked a popup." And I don't get any popups.

by the way, Firefox doesn't not effectively block pop ups. Just go to drudgereport.com. you will get popups.

Ive never had a pop-up w/ firefox

some folks disable their popup blocking... and then complain that popups are not being blocked.

go figure.
I PREFER firefox and mozilla for almost all browsing.

ie does a better job of browsing FTP sites and is useful for uploading to them. as of yet my latest version of firefox does not have the ability to ftp up and down.

there is a plugin I am told.
other than that, firefox SEEMS to be more CSS compliant than the latest IE. people fight about it though.

linux, unix, openbsd and debian all are just great.
I don't know what windoze only people do without a real command line to do stuff with.

I just confirmed that with my own experiment.
