what is your favorite web browser and why?
I know a lot of people are gaga over firefox, but it really never did it for me, Opera all the way! it has the best pop up blocker ever and has a ton of features and has always been ahead of its time and unique, while it does have its bad points, I still love it, and u can skin it too, and use widgets. it really is like a mini OS, which is great if u r at school and running it off a flsh drive.
IE everythang else is poops.
I agree with Opera. With all the widgets available and the fact that it never crashes its my number one choice. I only use IE for my Hotmail account and even going there it crashes.
my IE rarely crashes. you need to upgrade homey.
I've had problems with excessive crashing on my IE as well and switched to Firefox. It seems to function on my old and overloaded computer much better. Plus stickin' it to Microsoft is a hobby of mine... I love me some OpenOffice, lol...
opera all the way
IE really sucks. Tons of pages IE won't display properly, but Firefox gets it right all the time.
But, I'm using IE cuz I just reinstalled and I'm lazy. Really, the difference isn't that big.
i dont know bout yall but IE work perfect on my pc. do yall got the new version? do you all have a decend pc.?
i use IE
IE and IE only.
Firefox ... been running it since it came out, has never stuttered, and runs with a lot less crap in the background ... and, it has never once, tried to steer every solution to a Microsoft product or site ... :D ... I see Ubuntu Linux in my future, running Opera ... :smokin:
I actaully used to be into the Mac-native Camino, kinda like firefox but slicker and coded specifically for mac so it runs better
I find IE 7 really, really ugly. don't know about how well it actually works as I really just can't stand the GUI, but I'm using firefox, simply because it came with my distro, and IMO opera doesn't really have anything useful over ff
Avant Browser - Avant Browser::Home
It runs on the IE kernel, but is a alot more stable, and has alot more features then IE7, and you dont run into the problem of visiting websites that were made for IE, and them not working, ala Firefox.
firefox
their were origional tab browsing
the extention you can add to browser, i think they were first at that
now you can view IE pages in firefox with the extention
the quick search at top right of bar(and can add basically any search engine)
torrent toolbar it has
its quick
Firefox with ad/flash block. Skinned with Noia 2.0 theme.
Opera is my current browser, it is great although takes a little getting used to. I hate internet explorer, every other browser ive used has caused me much less hassle.
Ha thats what im using now although it's not my browser of choice(im at a friends house), used to be my favourite though.Quote:

I use Flock, it runs off of the firefox engine but i really like it, integrated facebook, photobucket, flickr, rss reader popup blocker...its really great
I like my microsoft explorer....
But I do have firefox as a backup. Some pages for some of my school work requires it. I hate it tho, what a pile of shit.
