Default What's the best Internet Browser?

Hey,
I currently use Mozilla Firefox, and I have using Internet Explorer. I know that Mozilla Firefox is known to prevent spyware (well, most of it), and it has it's own pop up blocker installed. I had Avant, and it was OK. I also heard about Opera, but I haven't had any time to try it yet. Honestly, what do you guys thing is the best internet brower to use?

Firefox is a very good browser, I'd stick with that, it's what I use. Opera is supposed to be very good too.

Opera is the best, and Opera 8 will soon be released. Check the links in my signature for comparisons.

Firefox is overrated (I tried it and don't really like it.) I use Maxthon, which is based on the IE core, but with a popup and activeX blocker, plus a crapload of options. Just because its based on IE doesn't mean it has the faults of IE.
