Default Preferred Web Browser

Well.. I was looking for a new web browser, I'm currently using Opera and don't take me wrong, it's probably the fastest out there and I love it. But it's getting kind of old.. I've had it forever and I was just wondering what you guys like to use...

I'm using windows xp by the way so...

Post away...!

I recently had gotten pissed off at Ff, because of the damn pop-up window that comes up everytime you save and image.
So I downloaded this add-on which changes it into a status bar at the bottom of the browser.

Haha, nice. I just found a new browser called Avant... I'm trying it out as we speak... I'm starting to like it. It seems as fast if not faster than Opera... Which is good.

The download window is one of the things i really like about FF, my distain for IE is such that if i didn't need it for windows update i would have uninstalled it.

-Avant

-Opera

The second is opera, the first is Avant, tough choice... though my ping is significantly lower and upload speed is significantly higher on Avant... its a speed test off of Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test if you wanted to try it. I did it over a distance of 9000mi using Optimum Online with Avant and Opera Browsers. Anyone want to do it on Firefox to compare?

Edit::

Here is IE

since the persons ISP, line quality and the server they test with compared to their location are taken into acount i think it would be a little difficult to come up with a reliable comparison for you (for instance my upload speed is capped at about 300kbs by my ISP... damn you bogpond!)
