Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and a whole bunch more.....

Does it really matter at the end of the day ?

Some are quicker, some are slower, some are prettier - but do they all render the web page correctly ? the answer is pretty much so.

Why apple keeps trying to give me bits of software such as safari when I dont want or need them is just plain annoying.

Likewise if your happy with your browser then keep your browser - it will work for the foreseeable future as there is no radical change to the DOM forthcoming - The fact that youtube say they wont support IE6 does not mean their site wont work if you use that - they just wont have tested it so it may be quirky in places.

There are plenty of reasons FOR using a different browser but if you have not stumbled across a reason then dont feel you need to - I also use firefox when developing because firebug is an invaluable time saver but I use IE 7 most of the time because I havent bothered upgrading it (7 does all I need at the moment).

If your like me you will stick with what your used to and change when you need to.

My rule of thumb is dont change technology for technologies sake - do it when you have a reason.
