I just have a few questions currently I use Fire Fox and since the IE7 update I've been curious if I should switch back or completely move to Opera. Any suggestions? I'm mainly concerned with internet saftey.

Firefox and Opera are both safe, just choose the one you like.

aslong as you use a  good Antivirus program an firewall you should be right, but IMO i think firefox Rulez , but im not saying opera isnt just as good either. IE7 maybe illegal - Read This, interesting read

To be honest, one thing Im missing in IE7 (that firefox has) is the possibility to only write, for example, "msgpluslive" and the brownser automaticly (sorry if it's wrong speled) open the page (in case, of the msgpluslive.net).
In IE7 if you put just a word, it opens a list of search (in google or other search engine selected)...

If enyone know how to do it in IE7, please, tell me... I have search but nothing...

Man i reckon just stick with Firefox as your default browser and use IE just in case something doesn't work with Firefox... and also it doesn't really matter if you use Opera or Firefox there both equally good but IMO Firefox is the best

Seeing as this is a feature of Google itself, not of Firefox, this is easy to add to IE7.
+Go to the search provider list (Click the arrow on the search bar > Find more providers).
+You should see a huge bright outstanding yellow area entitled "Create your own".
+Enter the following search url into the first box (step 3): http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&btnI=Feeling+Lucky&q=TEST
+Enter a title into the second box (e.g. Google)
+Click Install and check "Make this my default search provider" in the window that pops up.

Thanks Eljay!!! It worked...

In conclusion:
Firefox is safer than IE7
But IE7 is good too (as I'm seeing)

Firefox has little things that I love. However so does Opera. I find myself switching between these browsers all the time because there is something one has which the other does not. I personally believe Opera is the best, but I'm currently using Firefox, there is just something about it which makes using it easier .

To be honest, browser wars are quite stupid, its all about what you feel confortable using.

If you switch to Opera, you'll probably find it really confusing. I've tried switching to Firefox, but there is a different way of doing things in Firefox to Opera and I didn't like it, so I switched back to Opera.

(and i'm talking about really small things, like the tabs auto-sizing to however large the title of the page is, which doesn't happen in Firefox)
