How Do You Browse?

Wired News put together a quick read about the year in browsers. Prior to switching to a Mac, like most people on Windows, all I really knew was IE. Sure I had heard about Firefox, downloaded it, but found my way back to IE. But when I made the switch to a Mac and was forced to use another browser(Safari), I realized browsing could be done without IE.

Since then, I have used more browsers than I can count. Trying to find the one that is just right. For the most part I use Firefox/BonEcho(BonEcho's latest update). First it was because of the compatibility with Blogger, and the desire not to use two browsers at once, but now I prefer it because of the ability to customize it to my liking(theme and extensions).

I think the most important thing here, regardless of the browser you use, is that openness works. If Microsoft hadn't been forced to separate Windows from IE, we would all have continued to "suffer" at Microsoft's pace.
