Is Firefox or Opera really better? Maybe I'll give it a try. I don't know the advantages really but I guess I should do some research. I've just been using internet exporer all this time.

Out of the major browsers, here are some heiarchies:

Security: FF>Opera>Safari>IE7>>>>>>>>>>>IE6 (FF, Safari, and Opera are all good)

Customizability: FF>>>>>>>IE7=IE6>Safari=Opera

Correct code display: FF>Safari>>Opera>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>IE7>>>>>>>>>IE6 (as a joke, ask a web designer some time what he/she thinks of IE)

If you want a good out-of-the-box browser, Opera is probably the best. If you want something secure that you can tweak to your liking, FF is it. If you're a Mac user and just want the standard (which is pretty good), use Safari. I don't know much about Safari for Windows. If you just want the plain ol' standard browser, IE7 is alright.

But never, for any reason, EVER run IE6. It's terrible.

Good information.

You're missing Most Correct View though.  It would be:  FF >> IE7 > Safari=Opera >>>>>>>> IE6. 

Most mediocre websites are coded specifically for FF/IE7.  Most good websites validate xhtml transitional at least making them capatible across the board.

Safari is decent on Windows, but if you're on Windows, you shouldn't be using Safari... there are better alternatives.
