TetsuoShima Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I tried to make the list complete, but there are way to many browsers out there.... If you use more than one, choose the one you use/value most. Maybe state why you use that particular browser...

Carnifex Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I used to use FF, mainly because that was the only browser with a convienient proxy switch, albeit a third party extenson, but as I was finally getting my browser to do what I want, e.g. tabbed browser, rss, popup block, chat, I found that for the amount of functions I wanted a new extension was required and after a time it became unstable (even through several reinstalls). Too many extensions. Then Opera released 8.5x and it had a proxy switch plus all the other functions I wanted and had a built in email client instead of using outlook or another standalone, so it was really a no brainer to switch and I haven't looked back since and in bypasses M$ entirely.... FF is a good browser (apart from the instabilities), but I find Opera better suited to me. The security issue separating the browsers is negligable but Opera is all in one, straight out of the box.

TetsuoShima Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'm an Opera user myself, found it to be an excellent browser, all-in-one really, no need for plugins, even though they are supported, should you need anything extra... Occasionally I use IE6 as well, some websites just won't work on a different browser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3master Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 i used iE 6 and it works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have found Opera a SIGNIFICANT improvment from IE 6 So yes - i'm using Opera right now (version 8.52) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimova Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 aren't there any otpions for those things u have listed? besides ie 7 is in beta so there will be bugs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLaDio Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 8.51 ie7 is still in beta stage, it has lots of things that need improvement. Even windows update doesn't work with it. So don't judge it yet ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhug666 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 i use firefox, for several reasons, 1 ) more secure as fewer people use it (2) you can download all sorts of nifty plugins for it and (3) ti looks nicer than I.E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander72 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I use/used IE, Opera and Firefox and they all have their goods and bads... I currently consider my main browser to be Firefox 1.5.0.1, cause it's well balanced, simple and the fastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USWhoFan Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I use Firefox and have for awhile, but I've always been a fan of the Mozilla based browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlvsi Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have always been an IE user, and up until recently I was on IE7. Looked quite good, nice and sleek, took a while to get used to new layout (few mis-placed clicks). But, bit Glitchy. :mad: So now with my new BorgXP I am using Opera 8.52. First time, seems quite good. Nice layout, easy to navigate once you get used to it. I think I like to built in email, but I keep referring back to Outlook. I`ll see how I feel down the line. ;) Might give Firefox a go as it seems to be favourite at the moment. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteShdw Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm a huge Opera fan. It is 100% customizable (menus, toolbars, icons, you name it) and has a built-in email client and RSS reader, which is a huge plus for me. I never 'check my email', because Opera checks it for me and notifies me. The same for RSS/Atom feeds. I tried FF, but I hate its tab implementation. Opera never opens a new Opera window, every page is always opened in a new tab. Firefox you have to middle click to get a new tab rather than a new window. What's the point of tabs if you can have 3 windows open each with 3 tabs? That's just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikky Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Maxthon - its based on the ie6 engine but still ok for all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
