Rob · 11-24-2004, 04:38 PM

What is the general concensus?

MetaMan · 11-24-2004, 04:40 PM

firefox,

the tabbed browsing is just much better than anything else out there, its has also never been owned.

Sosa · 11-24-2004, 04:40 PM

still on IE.

Paul · 11-24-2004, 04:44 PM

I use Maxthon

StuartD · 11-24-2004, 04:45 PM

mozilla

jukeboxfrank · 11-24-2004, 04:45 PM

IE for me all the way.......

abadfish · 11-24-2004, 04:48 PM

Mac/Safari... tabbed browsing, popup blocker, faster then IE... IE for PC is much better then the mac version!

tony286 · 11-24-2004, 04:55 PM

firefox rules

skillfull · 11-24-2004, 04:56 PM

firefox

Mike Okitch · 11-24-2004, 05:03 PM

Firefox dammit!

Tabbed browsing, cool themes to change at will, radio, google search handy, no pop up, no shitware, etc...

If they had an affiliate program, I'd pimp the shit out of it

Doctor Dre · 11-24-2004, 05:03 PM

I couldn't live without firefox

It looks like Firefox is taking the lead. I may have to install it.

Once you go firefox you never go back

sickkittens · 11-24-2004, 05:36 PM

Why is Firefox so much better than IE? (For those that used both)

SpikeHeel · 11-24-2004, 06:12 PM

firefox, you can open many tabs and not prone to pop up viruses.

Webmaster_Logic · 11-24-2004, 06:13 PM

Firefox all the way no more shit ie for me

Rawz · 11-24-2004, 06:20 PM

Both some sites are screwy in Firefox especially some stats programs .

rml1608 · 11-24-2004, 06:53 PM

Those of you using FireFox - Try Maxthon seriously !!!

Furious_Male · 11-24-2004, 06:57 PM

IE for now. Plan on trying Firefox but I just can't be bothered right now.

Tabbed browsing

No spyware

No adware

No malware

None of the crap ending in "ware" that you don't want and can think of.

No popups

Easy to customize, has different themes so you can give your browser the look you want.

There's even an FTP extension on it.

Those guys have been thinking of everything.

It's also slightly faster for browsing and the Homeland Security Department has said that Mozilla based browser (such as Firefox) are safer.

It's free and I'd recommend that anyone who hasn't tried it just test it out.

The one argument against it, if there where one is that it takes more ram. But it's nothing that will kill a decent machine.

Good rundown on why Firefox is better. But you forgot, in my opinion one of the biggest reasons it's better: extensions. You can install, even write, extensions that do practically anything which makes Firefox 100% customizable. Firefox all the way!!!

Downloading now. I don't like Firefox much - being using K-Meleon for years.

Just downloaded it. I used to use it when it was called MyIE2, but have since switched to Firefox. Maybe I'll start using Maxthon again though; I really do like it.

Vitasoy · 11-24-2004, 07:32 PM

I use firefox 80% of the time now.

Crashes every 10 min, freezes, it's 2 times slower than K-Meleon, etc
I've heard good things about Maxthon (ex myIE2) and I'm going to give it a try.

polish_aristocrat · 11-24-2004, 07:37 PM

IE, never use anything else.

I use my browser 7hours/day and I've been using Mozilla/Firebird/Firefox since Mozilla RC1 and it hasn't crashed since Mozilla 1.0 final.

In fact, I've never ever had a severe system crash since Windows 2000.

You must have a shitty machine with shitty drivers and shitty configuration.

Living For Today · 11-24-2004, 07:50 PM

I use mozilla 90% of the time. There is the odd site it doesn't agree with and I am forced to pull out IE but only when necessary.

fris · 11-24-2004, 07:50 PM

ie of course, loyal to MS

Nasty D · 11-24-2004, 07:56 PM

98% of the time Firefox

Tabs

lol
I'm not tlaking about system crash, I'm talking about Firefox crashing every ten nimutes. If you use your browser 7 hours a day to surf GFY you'll have no problems at all with Firefox, but when you use it to get some work done (opening 20 tabs at the same time, changing options when a page loads etc), you my friend are for big surprise. Do yourself a favour, download K-Meleon, and then we'll talk again.

I don't surf all day on GFY and I am a tab whore. Usual setup: 6 Firefox windows, each with around 5 tabs. Sometimes upto 40 tabs when I'm going through pics using Linky extension (http://linky.mozdev.org/)

I've used K-Meleon before, but it is a pretty much dead project. Last official release (v0.8.2) was in 2003!

I have used Firefox for some pretty heavy duty work. I even once took it for a spin and opened 100 tabs at the same time. ONE HUNDRED, changing options and whatnot!! And I haven't had any hiccups.

Basic_man · 11-24-2004, 08:44 PM

I run scripts which automatically open a browser with 20 tabs, type the
url's in the address bar, load the pages etc. I run the scripts for 12 hours straight, and Firefox crashes at least 5 times more often than K-Meleon. I guess it all depends on what you're using your browser for. I'll test Maxthon tomorrow and see how it compares
