Which browser fits you the best?
Author: Simon Ads by MIVA

here an excerpt:

Programmer?
Browser: Firefox (It has a bunch of useful plugins for programmers)

Designer?
Browser: Opera (The image zoom is great)

Very novice Internet user? (First time on the big net, ehh?)
Browser: Firefox or Opera (You need to use a Secure browser. Go with Opera if this isn’t your first time on a computer)


Are you stupid?
Browser: Internet Explorer (It doesn’t matter which version)

Buisness?
Browser: Opera (It has a built-in email and feed reader)

Always up to date?
Browser: Opera
