Which web browser do you all use?

I have tried out a few with the following results:

Webby Mobile - free but very slow in loading pages
Maximus - cant use it, gives me an error
Minimo (mozilla) - really slow to startup, okay for browsing once it kicks
in.
IE - fast on my machine, but no tabs (big downer)
Opera (new PPC version) - fast but quite expensive

Ideally I need a free tabbed browser, but generally you do get what you pay
for and the free ones are often lacking in some area or slow.
Opera is my choice at the moment but I am loathed yet to pay out for it.
Still deciding what to do.

Which PPC do you have? WM2003 devices can use the free FTXBrowser, which
adds tabs to IE, for WM5 you can buy Spb Tools which adds a Bunch of
features to various WM5 functions, including multiple windows in IE. (Not
tabbed though- you choose your window from a menu.)

Thanks I shall look at FTX as I have WM2003se.
I have tried SPB in fact the trial is on my machine at the moment, but I am
not keen on it.

Another vote for ftx - it works great on WM2003(SE) - see my articles on it.

Thanks! I've been using my WM5 device for about 8 months now, so my
memory's getting foggy.

I had the link saved in the Favorites of my Axim X5, but not the HTC
Wizard I posted from. Thanks for the correction!
