Opera rates the highest.

I used Opera up until recently when it went mad and refuses to retain bookmarks despite numerous installs etc. Opera always annoyed me as it wouldn't display pages from Amazon or eBay correctly, hardly remote obscure websites!

I know what you mean Richard, despite IE (especially the latest) being a huge memory hog, it's still most likely to be compatible with websites.
Normally I use IE for general browsing, and Firefox for secure browsing with noscript.
With WM I use opera as it's better than pIE, and with Android the built in browser hasn't given me any trouble so far.

I use Opera Mini on my phone. It's quick even on GPRS and it keeps the data usage down.

On the PC I use Firefox mainly because I can block ads.

I'm not sure what my iq is. Quite low I suspect.

Good to see Auntie's journalistic skills are as blunt as ever

The original link now gives you the hoax story too. That's a bit too Ministry of Truth for my liking.
