Favorite Browser

Though, we have done a poll about it Marshall with title &quot;Which browser do you use?&quot; <br />The results of that poll: 50% FireFox 2.0

Fire Fox!

And the language Bruno? LOL No seriously, I was amazed by what I got, and I couldn&acute;t find an obvious way ( tools/options or view/preferences ) to change the language settings... I figured even in Cyrillic those words would be recognisable, but niet ( LOL)! <br />The other thing was that I was a bit disappointed by the info provided on the Mac website... not very encouraging for potential users. <br /> <br />Anyway I&acute;ve got no complants about Firefox 2 ... it works a treat for me and has some useful add-ons LOL

New Safari free public beta in... <br />...http://www.apple.com/safari/ <br />Enjoy!:D

I&acute;ll check that out Marshall... I&acute;ll check back in a bit... :-)

LOL MICK... 😁 😂

Safari? Well I downloaded the beta, but it was all in Russian, or something similar, and I couldn&acute;t find a way to change the language settings. They reckoned it was super fast... well it was in a way, I kept it for about 20 minutes! LOL

Test. Have a look at this link.Read the description and enlarge the picture. Your opinions comments... :Happy <br />http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58054989/

Whoops...double post. Didn&acute;t have my coffee yet or something... :D

My experience: IE7 with best looking text. Firefox customizable,lots of extensions,text not good. Safari,clean best color. I will go look at that poll Nikos. Thanks :Happy 👏 <br /> <br />More comments please... 👏

FireFox, of course! :congrats

New Safari(Mac)is a good bronser too... LOL

Firefox is the best!! IE is soooooo stange... bah!

Firefox... hands down. I do not even consider opening IE. I have used Firefox now for at least 2 years. Its fast and reliable. It updates automatically. I also recommend Mozilla&acute;s E-Mail program called &quot;Thunderbird&quot; The two work great! :)

Good call Marshall. Great idea! :congrats :Happy

Your right Fred,and very strong point you make. Always watch your back. I donate my old computers,before I do though,I clean the system and remove all hard drives,keep them and inventory them. :Happy 👏

You&acute;re right Fred. For that I use a app - free - and recognizes in my case either browser I use or used - which is Clean Cache 3.5. Besides cleaning internet traces, it cleans - erases, scrubs, whatever you want - also the all system and you can even tell it o clean specific files you want. The panoplia of features and options is soooo big, only seen. You can even tell it to clean the system every x minutes. Nice ? Yes it is. Now a &quot;classic&quot; as it is no longer developed and ended at version 3.5. You can still download it at majorgeeks. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4122.html or read the Softpedia review here: http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/CleanCache-Review-27183.shtml :aw

Firefox! ... I&acute;m feeling very comfortable with it. Adjusted with some good extensions and a nice theme, it&acute;s a nice and secure way to run through the internet. <br /> <br />Testing Opera as well sometimes, but still can&acute;t say that it is better or not. But I like to make comparisons between Firefox, Opera and IE ... specially because of my website so I can see if pages and scripts work fine or not. <br /> <br />By the way: My website statistics say, that 66,2% of all the visitors until now used Internet Explorer ... 28.7% Firefox ... hmmm :,

A note on privacy. Every single browser shares one common flaw. Passwords, user names, and other information are all stored in windows files that a hacker can get to. I am behind a firewall, have strong security software, and still, I had a credit card number stolen some time ago. While I do not know how this happened, ( I lean toward a dishonest on-line merchant) I now take extra precautions. I recommend an eraser program that wipes out and overwrites any data that a hacker could get to. I use Window Washer. It does not seem to recognize Safari but works with Firefox and IE. If you ever sell a PC, a complete wipe of your hard drive is recommended (strongly) ID thieves will get to data even if you think it is deleted as any undelete software can restore it. If you pay bills, shop on-line, do your taxes on-line.... The only safe way is to wipe it clean. Any data is then unusable. A re-format will NOT do it. I know this is a bit off-subject but very well worth mentioning. :) Each time I visit my bank, or any sensitive site of that nature, I wash my tracks. There is nothing left to get to.

The speed difference here is like splitting hairs. Really. If I had to pick the fastest for me it would be Safari. But like I said - you cannot go wrong with Opera or Firefox in my book. Firefox edges it out for cosmetic reasons, mainly. As Safari catches on, it may offer a third, solid choice. The only browser I actually dislike is IE. Happy surfing and happy sharing to you my friend. <br /> <br /> |O| |O| ;)

Fred, the problem is not with the browser, its probably with the site itself. I also have the same problem : logged, a page only with the header of the site appears and only when I reverse the page and click on a link, things are ok.As for the speed, ok my friend, we at home have a 10mps connection and we do note the difference - or my wife does feel the difference . However, everything is a question of marketing. The guys at Opera are not concerned about the marketing of their product, that&acute;s why they have a low market share. They are only concerned about the features of the browser. Nintendo has chosen Opera as their browser for the Wii. Besides Opera do have also a mini browser for cell phones - I use it - which is really nice.Also and in what respects privacy and security, I think Opera beats hands down the other two. You do not have to load add-on&acute;s on it, it has these features natively. Two weeks ago my wive was making a bank transfer over the net and sudenly Opera told her to be careful in a particular page, with a warning pop-up- telling her that the certificate of that page was not valid - and she right clicked and saw the certificate properties. Never saw anyone of the others doing that. Opera was the first to add a anti-pishing facility to the browser. Ultimately, I do not care either on marketing strategies, what I really think is that people sometimes do not know how to use the software they have installed on their machines. As for what Safari site mentioned about Opera being so slow, well, marketing strategies again. If I feel that a competitor of mine is good or have better products than mine, I am not going to admit that in public, would I? Believe me I am not emotional about these things, if everybody is happy with te browsers they have, I am happy too. <br /> <br /> 👏 👏 :Happy

I think you are onto something Marshall. Its interesting to note that Safari&acute;s site ranks Opera as very slow! All I know is that Safari is the fastest I have used yet. Yes, I have a high spped connection - and still the page load speeds are noticably quicker. I see what you mean about the text, too. I love Firefox but an ongoing issue is when I log onto the site here, my page goes blank. I always have to click on my saved Skinbase link and then I am logged on fine and the page displays. I do not experience that with Safari. Thanks for this. I did not know it was out in a Windows version. Its a very impressive browser, worthy of a try. :Happy

I&acute;m impressed with the clean simple look of the new Safari for Windows browser. The colors look better and the text looks very good. On my system,Firefox is faster then IE7 and Safari is faster then Firefox. Firefox has the worst looking text on my system. Safari is very bugging however as it is in early beta. <br /> <br />Never tried Opera. From your comments,sounds very good. :Happy

I think you cannot lose with either one. Opera is excellent. Why I ultimately chose Firefox is that on top of all the great features, its the cleanest looking one. The bookmarking cannot be beat. No other browser that I have tried lets you create folders on the actual browser window and then drag your favorite sites into them. Move the mouse over the folder, and presto, the list of the sites is there. I did not care for Operas interface... at all, actually. But it is fast. But honestly, with a 3MPS connection speed, the argument about speed becomes a moot point. Dial up? Different story. I have used Firefox now for over 2 years and its all I will use. As far as I am concerned, IE is the clear loser here. |O|

Ok...my experience and voting goes to Opera. I am a tester, I love to test and I have on my company computer, Opera9, Firefox 2 and IE7 ( and almost every variation of browsers which rely on the IE engine ) - allways testing them. And when I speak about testing it&acute;s really a test I make on the long run (Firefox for 2 years, IE7 also or almost and Opera for the last 4 years. Why Opera? Well, first because of safety and privacy. Second because of SPEED in such a way that my wife, a Firefox user, and Francisco my eldest son - he&acute;s is finising next year his gradutation on computing, communication and multimedia - who is also a Firefox user does admit that Opera is a better written program ( in 1998 Opera already have tabbed browing...) and in terms of speed, is unbeatable ( these are his words, not mine - being that the only thing he likes in Firefox are the add-ons. The problem is that Firefox just eats resources as hell - and the more addons you have, worst is the case - and also the problem is that most of Opera users do not know exactly what this browser does as they do not know its full potential. My wife, just switched to Opera, Francisco is on the move and I have unninstalled Firefox from my laptop. Besides Opera do have an integrated feed reader, an integrated torrent downloader and last but not least...it can natively read the exif info on any photography that has that info appended and also a validation tool that connects automatically to W3C website to validate ( or not ) webpages. It can provide also mail and chats accounts - I do not use these. Here at work and although I have the other two...Opera rules as is the most used - 99,99% of the time. You can read more about these three giants: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1990850,00.asp and http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1998157,00.asp:Happy :Happy :Happy

FIREFOX.......!!! FIREFOX.......!!! FIREFOX.......!!! FIREFOX.......!!! FIREFOX.......!!! <br />(compared to everything else i&acute;ve used ---> aol open ride, all aol softwares, opera, all ie versions, netscape, Avant 11, ICab, 3SeaMonkey, K-Meleon, Galeon 2.0, Camino) <br />nothing can beat FIREFOX.....yet !!!

I have to say FireFox all the way!! :D

I&acute;ve used Firefox for... I think 4 years or something... <br /> <br />Why have I used it? <br /> <br />Doesn&acute;t crash as often as Internet Explorer. <br />Is more secure. With Internet Explorer you shouldn&acute;t &quot;explore too much&quot;. <br />Pages open like 100% faster. <br /> <br />Well basically I like it and I can do nothing, but recommend it. :Happy 👏 <br /> <br />I have also tried Opera, I wasn&acute;t very satisfied. :(

👏

I like peanut butter and jelly.

Firefox <br /> <br /><A href=&quot;http://www.guccionlineshop.org&amp;quot;&gt;gucci online shop</A>  👏

Firefox still the best too much addons you can install and theme to choose from. My fav is green shadow firefox, clash of human and horde (WOW) theme and their warcraft gold logo.

Firefox rocks !!
