Just another of my "I'm curious" information gathering exercises. :)

I use FF2, but I also use Opera and IE6 for some applications, couldn't vote for more than one, so I went for FF2.

Well, I did say primary browser - otherwise we'd have IE, FF and Opera all on the same numbers. :)

Don't worry. I never read what I write either!!

What interests me is how strongly IE7 is showing at the moment, I didn't expect that...

Nor me, I swiftly dumped it and went back to IE6.

Indeed. I only use that to check the appearance of a site if it's behaving oddly in FF and Opera and, of course, for MS updates.

I have been using IE7 since it came out of the beta version, I am quite happy with it but notice that FF2 is the most popular browser in your poll, is it a freebie?

Certainly is, Wilf.

The firefox built in spell checker is good for these forums. I just wish it would change cheep to cheap for me  ::)

I agree on the spell checker, Rob. The other function I would like it to have is the ability to add words.

Oh doesn't the right-click "Add to dictionary" menu work?

<edit>that wasn't supposed to be sarcastic btw. Also the plain text user dictionary is called persdict.dat in your firefox profile folder if you need to add lots of words.</edit>

I didn't take it as sarcastic, Rob, it's a classic case of RTFM, which I clearly never have! Thanks for pointing it out to me - I can now sort out some of my commonly used phrases. :)
