    opera is 3rd place of IE and FF, safari is nasty! If you want to try google chrome, get the 'iron' version, doesnt have built in data tracking....

    If you can live without extensions then Opera is the way to go

    Opera has less need for extensions as it has more built -in out of the box.
    & it uses widgets anyway

    Re: Which Browser?

    I use Firefox and recommend NoScript as well.
    Also with IE Tab I never have to put up with useless IE interface.

    I use Firefox with the following addons:

    Hyperwords
    Adblock Plus
    Foxytunes
    NoScript
    WOT (Web Of Trust)

    Just browse the top-rated ones, there's bound to be something you'll find useful.
