Hi, well I'm just considering what browsers you think are the best.
I think most of you just stopped using I.E. long ago.

I've heard that I.E. is such an evil thing, because apart of letting any weird script or pop-up run away, it also mess with your system files, and well that could lead into a horrible situation.

I use Opera, someone recommended that to me, I'm using it and I'm happy heh =), I'm not the expert with it, I mean I don't mess up with expert settings for it and so, but what I can tell you about it's normal performance, is great. I stops weird pop-ups (mostly) and I love that I can visit sites without opening the images in it, so they load faster, it's good if what you're looking for is the juicy content. And yeah you can open multiple sites, and they all will open genlty upside =)

I know it's not the only browser out there, I would like to know your oppinion about this, since I still didn't prove so many others like firefox etc.

bye =)

Firefox.
I love it, use it all the time. There's so many great plugins for anything you could ever need from a web-browser. Seriously, you name it, there's probably a plug-in already.

I use firefox for the plugins. Allthough if you want real speed, use opera.

Firefox GNOME and Konqueror KDE.
IE lol................ .
Oper is good, but it's not free.

w3m and Firefox. If you don't know w3m, you can try it easily: it's installed on infinity.

Opera is free now.

I use Seamonkey, because I also use the mail application and running 2 things, firefox and thunderbird, instead of just SeaMonkey would be redudant. Most of the libaries can be shared that way . ONly the interface and the extension things a bit diffrent.

Get yer facts straight, Opera turned free aeons ago.

Opera, imo is the best browser, if you don't want to mess around with plugins. Of course, you could make your own..

Opera = Speed
Firefox = Plugins
And I like plugins and am willing to sacrifice speed.
But when I need speed, Opera is my choice.

the IE7 betas arnt too bad

but i used FF it is pretty slow tho

Opera is nice

I would use Opera

I have the latest versions on Opera and Mozilla FireFox and my opinion is that Opera rock's for it's mail client... very easy to use (i'm using it for my gmail it has an SMTP server wich is very cool... u don't need to run extra program to sent your mail ) but FireFox definitely is faster.
I made some tests and it's faster loading 1 page (tested when pasteing the url and pressing the Enter button )

What page, which time, what connection speed, what cpu, which did you try first, what did you use to measure time?

Firefox is best for features and overall conformity.
It seems this conversation comes up with IRC nubs a lot. IE just isn't good AT ALL. I've seen roadkill that works better as a web browser .

Links and Links2 are sweet I just prefer text sometimes.

I use Firefox most of the time but sometimes I use Konqueror on fedora ... Theyre great than IE browsers....

IE Just does an horrible job in displaying some basic css or html, just because they dont keep to the standart. But im afraid that aint going to change in the near future, simple because microsoft wants to be the standart itself... They may even succeed simply because most non-computer expert just keep using internet exploren because it ships with windows.
