Firefox 3.5 is now the world's most popular browser. What browser do you use and why?

Just barely worldwide :-) and for version 3.5 only - not all Firefox browsers. IE (versions 6,7,8) still leads Firefox (3.0, 3.5) as reported in the StaCounter GlobalStats between June to December 2009 (see source). Usage is also country dependent.

I have used Firefox because in my location bandwidth is limited and latency is high - Firefox renders much faster even for websites on our university LAN. Firefox also adopted tabs and Ctrl+ to enlarge screen much earlier than IE (yes I used Opera for awhile which had tabs earlier). I also don't like the security issues with IE in the early days and shutting off ActiveX to have secure browser didn't make it useful.

Why not Chrome? I tried a beta version and many of the sites I used didn't render properly. So I'm still using Firefox.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
