Firefox, of course.

Let's not let this become a flame fest, OK?

I use them both, but I prefer FF 2.0 because it has spell checker

This is a cool program. When you highlight a word and right click on it you can select to either find the definition for it or lookup the wikipedia page. But its main function is spell checking as the name implies.

I found that IE7 loads much much much faster the FF. This was from my experience and I'm sure others have other opinions.

I believe IE loads faster because it is integrated into windows, which is also not good for security.

The more extensions you have the longer it will take Firefox to load, I've read that some people with 50 or so extensions can cause Firefox to take about 4 seconds to load, I defrag regularly have only about 3 extensions so the longer loading time is barely noticeable for me.
