i tried konqueror after taking part in this vote. well i found that konquer could not load the gmail page in java mode. instead it opened in html mode. then i went to the konqueror site only to find that java 1.5 is not supported yet.
Well, gmail does not work in Konqueror because google does not want to support it (they ignore less common browser like konqueror ) But it works if you change the user agent to Firefox. And btw, i think gmail does not use java 1.5, but uses javascript.
And if java 1.5 does not work, you can try to go to Configure Konqueror, Java & JavaScript, under java tab you specify path to java executable (mine is /opt/jdk1.5.0_01/bin/java)
However, I also love firefox, I use it in Windows, and I also promote it to my friends who still use Windows . Firefox is a standard compliant browser, but I prefer browser that offers good integration with my desktop.
Again, I have to say Opera, it's just so fully featured.
But also not "open source". They do not provide the source code. Great as a browser no doubt, but unless they do a binary targetting the platform you use - useless.
Neither does Safari - but they do contribute code back to KHTML, which they use for it's core.
I Like Firefox a lot and I use it both on my Linux box [1] and at work.
But being a KDE Guy and as I use it almost as much, I have to support Konqueror (i couldn't tell which one is better, but Konqui is faster).

SeaMonkey was only released today, in 2006. It can't really be a members choice of 2005 given that it didn't even exist in 2005!
I voted for Mozilla. In fact I've been playing with SeaMonkey nightlies for quite some time, but still kept Mozilla 1.7 installed until SeaMonkey became final.
the final 1.0 wasn't available in 2006, but the transition from moz to SM certainly happened in 2005.
stuck, firefox has all its plugins, love footiefox and gmail notifier. but now that konqueror has adblock aswel im not sure. Firefox because i use it all the time in windoz and konqueror wont load me router page properly but its reli close
