With all the up and coming new browsers I want to read everyone's opinion.
Which Internet browser do you think is the best and why?

I like Opera because it seems to have a lot of the features people get extensions for in firefox.
I also use and enjoy 'Speed Dial©' a great deal. Apply V-Glass to the default browser and its makes for a pleasant and high functioning experience.
The lack of "NoScript" for Opera is the deal breaker against my using it on a more or less "default" basis.I like Opera because it seems to have a lot of the features people get extensions for in firefox. I've also used it for over 10 years, so it feels natural to me. There are a lot of complaints from people that don't know any better that Opera doesn't have decent ad blocking - thats kind of true - there isn't "adblock plus" for Opera, but its extremely easy to find a "urlfilter.ini" that is the same blocklist.

I had another bizarre issue with Opera, where it would crash my desktop graphics (Intel 915 IGP). This when I used it for downloading very large files.
The disclaimer(s):
(1) this was a much earlier version than is available. at present.
(2) Other than this particular issue, I liked it better than IE.
(3) I haven't upgraded my FF past 3.6xxx. So I don't know what happiness or sorrows are waiting for me @ Ver 4.0 or beyond
You just rightclick anywhere on the page "edit site preferences"-> "Scripting" -> Uncheck what you want.
Opera has a nice and easy rightclick -> "block content" that can be used to block entire AD urls with wildcards or anything else like those annoying chatboxes on some pages.
