Icedrake Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 EDIT: Which browser do you like the best, and why you think that. Give some reasons. If you're using a different browser than the 5 above, you can tell why you like that browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogeyman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i use firefox mainly because it's the safest imo. i also like the feel of it. it is quite customizable too. funny how times change, one time ago i would have never believed i'd use anything but netscape.

hotdoge3 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Firefox it's safest by far & no Popup's & the addon's & I don't like zone's you may like to look it up to see way it bad 5 zone's # 1 !nternet # 2 Local intranet # 3 Trusted sited # 4 Restricted sites # 5 Your P.C. [ not good ] the can navigate into this zone I not like,Firefox no Zone's is better, no ActiveX http://rcip.com/mitch/PhantomPhixer.html the major trouble was Micro$oft and their way of doing things. constant updates to updates, all the flaws in Internet Explorer and now the creation of windows Vista ( or as i like to call it "windows ME part 2").

YoKenny Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like IE7 because that's what I learned first. "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony A Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Safari is useless. IE7 without IE7 Pro is almost as useless as Safari. Firefox and Opera are very close for me and I use both a lot. Maxthon 2 is very good and Maxthon 1 is also very good. Avant is not bad but is way down the list for me compared to Opera, Firefox, and the 2 Maxthons. Avant is better than a stock IE7 but not as good as IE7 with IE 7 Pro. If you couldn't add any addons to the browsers Opera would be the best no contest. Firefox without extensions is pretty useless to me. With extensions it's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted April 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2008 Netscape is no more. (the last version was just a skinned firefox 2 anyway) I like IE7 with pro better than all others. Firefox still is sort of crashy but maybe 3 will fix it. On linux I use firefox though so I still use both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i use Opera because it pretty much has evetyhing i need built-in. firefox would be in the second position. nothing wrong with it though. IE7 is garbage. Netscape is dead. Safari is good in terms of standards support and it's extremely fast but no real reason to use it on windows. btw, here's the standards this i was talking about: http://www.anomalousanomaly.com/2008/03/06/acid-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2008 This is a really difficult question as to which is better. I like different browsers for different reasons. I like IE7, Opera and Sleipnir (which is my default browser) IE7 pro when used with layered security and safe surfing is a great browser. Opera, well, I've always found it fast and plenty of info available about it, I like a lot of the built in options in it. Sleipnir is very customisable, it can use the IE engine or the Gecko(firefox) engine, and lets face it there are not many browsers which offer the option to show the page in Japanese Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Which one is better? I can't answer that. Why? Because like most users I use Internet Explorer. Which version? I use IE7 because I have learned to accept MS offer of updates as they come along. I am not sure if most users do this or not? For 3 years this PC was never MS updated since it was first setup. The only updating was to new releases of applications on CD or DVD. Get it in the mail. Read the instructions. Follow them,insert disk1 here, now click on "yes", now click "OK",now click on "Finish". Simple and quick.Just what most users want. The only short coming was that for most of those 3 years this PC was never connected to the Internet. Will I go to IE8? Probably,just not yet. Why haven't you used other browsers? Since there are other users of this computer who only know IE. Will I try other browsers? Yes but not until I feel thoroughly competent and knowledgeable about Windows and Internet Explorer itself. Remember, I am trying to maintain a "New" to "Average" users view of PCs. davey P.S.

Coronagold Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The extentions in FF make it my #1 browser. IE7 is my 2nd choice because I'm very familiar with it. Opera seems very good though I've only played around with it for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony A Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I can say without a doubt that the fastest browser I have now is Opera 9.5 beta 2. This launches instantly and loads pages in the blink of an eye. Big improvement over 9.27 in that area. It's my most use browser right now followed by Firefox. If you use Opera get yourself the O Spell user java script. It's the best spellchecker out there and I have tried many. http://opera.gt500.org/ospell/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators TwistedMetal Posted April 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2008 I like Firefox because of all the extensions. Customization and user ability. Plus, it is fast... I like IE7 too, buy only with pro installed.

CTskifreak Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Firefox 2 I like the most because the interface is clean, and the addons are great. IE7 is second, just because of it being Microsoft. I tried Spacetime, but it isn't that useful yet. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm using Opera right now, because it's not a memory hog and it almost uses 2 times less memory than when I used FF. Also it loads web pages and everything mega fast. Faster than FF too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I use Firefox because of its add-ons, and probably its security. I tried Opera, but I missed most of the extensions I use in Firefox. I want to install IE7Pro in IE7 but my bro doesn't want me to, thinking I don't know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
