I find that Firefox gives me a MUCH higer speed reading than IE. FF has me running over 70% faster than the average for Comcast cable, whereas IE has me running only at 90% of Comcast's average speed. So, what's the real speed? Beats me!

IE6 doesn't even work on my computer... nor IE7.

I use Firefox for the most part, Maxthon on occasion if a site only supports IE.
