Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari?

[kellylien]

Which in your opinion is the best web browser? All I can think of right now..

[Shadow Warrior]

Firefox. :biggrin2:

[Jonathan-iZ]

Internet Explorer.

[Yellowmc]

Internet Explorer.

:shame: Internet Explorer = Bad :shame:
:-) Firefox = Good :-)

[darkcurves]

I like Opera ever since was able to get it for free.

[Bryson]

Firefox is good for the Webmaster, and those who know about the security holes in IE

IE is good for those who dont know better, and if you welcome viruses and a backdoor to hackers, popups, and adware.

Netscape is between Firefox and IE, nice and clean, tabbed, but not a lot of added features.

And I dont know a thing about Safari or Opera

[Blitz-Host]

firefox all the way :D

[Robert]

Firefox for me as well. I'm not one of those "Eww IE" or "Firefox pwnz you". I just have found that FF is clean, simple and fits my needs.

[Blitz-Host]

only prob i have with firefox is it makes me lazy in my html code

[Bruce]

Wouldn't that be IE? Firefox requires standards-compliant code, so I'm not sure how that would make you lazy.

Anyway, I use Firefox on Windows and Linux, but I'm not a big fan of the Mac version. I love Safari on the Mac.

[Blitz-Host]

due to you can use things that IE dont know like <img src"pic.jpg" border = "red"> where you cant do that in IE i beleave

I could'nt have said it better myself.

I used Firefox for awhile. It's not bad and it did seem I had to clean less spy/adware off my system. However there are some sites that don't display quite right in it and some sites that won't work with it at all. I got tired of having to switch back and forth. Right now I'm using the new AOL Explorer. It's based on IE so it has better compatibility and it has tabs, RSS feeds, and AOL fixed some of the security holes that MS didn't. Funny that after buying and promoting Netscape all these years, they're now finally gravitating toward IE.

[GeorgeB]

I just use plan old IE. Yeah it might not be the best but that is why I implement good software that keeps my computer nice and clean.

I use Firefox, mainly because of the extensions and tabs.

[pdrucker]

hmm... im on firefox now, but am really looking forward to IE 7. i just hope it isnt a resource hog. i love netscape 8 too, tabbed browsing, availability to view in IE or gecko engines. only problem is that its a bit of a resource hog (though i do only have 800mhz 256mb ram)

I dont think its fair to compare IE 6 to firefox. Firefox cam out last year and IE 6 has been out for over 5 years.

[daxriggz2004]

I use firefox, too. It suits me just right with a few extensions and what-not thrown in there. It's up to personal preference, but fewer these days look back to IE 6 once they've used it. It looks like IE 7 may give it good competition, though.

[Blitz-Host]

yeah the tabs are very usefull

[Bruce]

I dont think its fair to compare IE 6 to firefox. Firefox cam out last year and IE 6 has been out for over 5 years.I'm not sure why that really matters, but Firefox has been out since 2002.


IE has been around since '95, and the sad thing is it hasn't really hasn't eveolved as much as it should have. IE7 still won't even be standards-compliant. That annoys me... I shouldn't have to properly code a website and then try and find some fixes because IE doesn't understand CSS properly.

[Blitz-Host]

IE7 i do not trust i have herd lots of bad things about the open ports and the backdoors it seems to leave open it aprenly more easy to hack a user with IE7 then any other browser out there atm.

[Mrlinux]

Firefox for sure ;)

[Matt8]

Im another firefoxy myself. Just got use to it, love the tabbing, popup blocking, extensions, and themes. it just has features I love, thats why I love it. It literally changed the way I surf the web (because of the tabbing)

[olaph]

i like using firefox and kmeleon

ie is the devil!

and to be honest i think opera is way to bloated with features it doesn't need :P

[Brandon]

Its basically a really good mac browser :)

I have the beta, it truly looks awful, still screws up on CSS, and still doesn't meet standards. The tab mode looks like total crap, IE7 runs slow too...

[niv]

lynx :p

[themoose]

ie is the devil!


wrong.

Microsoft is the devil.

IE is the son of the devil.

(Disclaimer, just in case Microsoft decide to bankrupt me and my family:I did not actually say what i just said, it was just an evil virus that came on my PC. Microsoft and IE are trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation.)

[Brandon]

lynx :p
text browser :O

[GeorgeB]

Everyone has their own way of thinking. I personally just like IE.

FIREFOX- JESUS

Lynx isn't too useful as a primary browser, but if seeking nostalgia you can download NCSA Mosaic (http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/) to see what it is that Microsoft added a few bugs to and renamed as Internet Explorer.

[trenzterra]

lynx :pMake sure you keep to your word.

[niv]

You know I do, trenz

Wow! I totally forgot about Mosaic. I didn't know it was still around! I remember when Netscape was all the rage. Now it's hard to find anyone that still uses it.

[ZombieMatt]

I use firefox, I prefer it over IE.

[Nug]

I like Opera ever since was able to get it for free.
OPera is so Dell...

[Nug]

I use Firefox!
IE always get thous bloody toolbars!

[technocrat]

JUST FIREFOX ! ntin more .. iv been trying all browsers since time .. but id give firfox 10/10 without any hesitation ... its simply the best wen it comes to security , speed ... everything lol

[TJR Networks]

I prefer Safari. The Mac version of FireFox is ok, but it doesn't render pages quite as nicely as Safari does.

[XStorm-Andy]

What happened to a "Netscrape"

[Matt8]

They released their code, Mozilla Foundation picked it up, and the rest is history.

[WideBand]

Netscape is still alive and well: http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/

[Matt8]

Ya, but let's be honest...who the hell uses Netscape anymore? Thats so, 90's.

[deathdemon321]

i use FF.......isn't this like the 50th time some1 has realeased the same or similar poll?

[WideBand]

My girlfriend still uses Netscape :)

She changed to IE when Netscape died for a while and changed back when they came out with the first tabbed version (7.2?). I personally use & prefer FF 1.0.6

[CoogleX]

Firefox is definatly the way to go, but a lot of times I've to switch back to IE for certain websites.

ex. my online courses sites, mtv sites, etc.

[ashish]

used firefox for some time, its a wonderful piece of software.. but i guess since i have used IE longer, i like it a lot better : )

[robert allen]

New studies suggest that firefox is as slow as internet explorer on windows. The only thing that seems faster is k-meleon.

www.kmeleon.sf.net is the site.

[Matt8]

Isn't k-meleon based on Gekko engine anyway?

[Darkeyes]

stuff about FF that i like ..

- faster than ie
- more secure
- multiple search engines
- tabbed
- add ons
