I have Opera installed but still use IE with Google as my home page. It is a
neat browser but I have occasionally had problems accessing some sites.
I used blank for a long time but found I was using Google most of the time
on first access anyway.
I always used to use Netscape for years but was forced to turn to the MS
behemoth when Netscape went beyond v. 3 and became unreliable.

I use Opera - it's got this neat feature of having
the Google search built into
the browser. It appears next to the URL entry box, so you enter your search
terms and hit enter.
Neat. There are add-ons for other browsers available from Google that add
this functionality.

I've found it's faster to type the query
into the URL and search from there
than to load google and then fill in the blank. Probably the single biggest
reason I like google-- the URL for a search is pretty easy to decode.
Between a blank home page and searching from the address line, it really
cuts down on the delay. That's important when the shared (!) company modem
(!!) won't connect over 26k8 due to the lovely condition of the phonelines out
here in the boonies.

BTW, when would be a good time to stop by and look at that printer?
