Your Favorite Browser
 

HI ya every one this thread has more than likley been done many times b4 .........but i have allways been a avid internet explorer ..... but i recently downloaded netscape 7.1 and i must say it kicks ass .........so here comes the question which is your favorite browser ?

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

IE5 on win2k. It doe's its job and I dont see the point in having two browsers on a system which only needs one

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mozillia.

Thats my fave.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mozilla Firebird 0.7

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

IE6 XP. i must say i do like the look of Crazy Browser which does have it's own pop up filter.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mozilla and netscape are the same thing, but there will be no more netscape releases, if you want to remain upto date you will have to get the latest mozilla from www.mozilla.org

I think netscape 7 is the same as mozilla 4

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mosaic ;)

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Usually Opera, as IE tends to crash every 5 seconds.. but since I've last formmated, I havnt bothered installing opera, and stuck with IE.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

No more Mozilla releases after the current one either, it's going to be the stand-alone web and mail readers from now on.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

It's got to be Slim Browser for me. It has all I need including pop up stopper and tab windows. :)

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Opera 7.....I love it......Im the opposite of Steve.. after i formatted I couldnt be bothered setting up ie with all my preferences again and just started sraight away with opera.

Fantastic

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

mmmmmm not a lot of recomendations for netscape on here

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I told you mozilla IS netscape.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

kin ell u sound like my mum .....lol ...ok point taken :blah:

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I love my IE6, with its window blinds, it looks cool, and does the job. Mozilla/Netscape and Opera are all to cluttered

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

IE6 for me
I have tried crazy, firebird, opera, mozilla, and avanti but always comeback to IE.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Safari

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I used to use it but loads of sites were unwatchable with it

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

ohh yeah .....like what sites ?

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I am an avid fan of the Gecko browsers, mostly Mozilla, and felt very annoyed when I discovered that www.evanescence.com didn't work in Moz, only in IE (and probably via some obscure ActiveX control, I might add). :grind:

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

After reading this thread, it brought back memories of using mozilla previously, so I thought I would give it another go, and so glad I did, but this time I am using Mozilla Firebird, and so far so good, it is sleek and faster than IE6 IMO, give it a try http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/download/

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

IE5 all the way :)

I have tried Mozilla Firebird and Netscape but I have always found out that they do not format websites properly (e.g. they have those hideous 3D grey buttons on forms when in IE has them all nicely formatted) and Netscape takes a bloody age to load. FB has a spash screen and also takes ages to load.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

yes nutscrape has always been notorious for taking ages to load and zapping mem ,its nice to use though once its running...
opera is my choice of browser because its the fastest but you get the odd site it doesnt like normally because of activex junk and such ,so i also use ie6 a lot..its never crashed on me yet...come to think of it neither has opera or nutscrape

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I find the forum is a lot snappier on netscape (or mozilla). And is does take memory, so does Internet explorer as it is intergrated into windows anyway.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Depends on my OS at the time, Windows then IE6 seems to work for me! Linux then which I ever I stumble across on the menu 1st.

Guess that makes me non-decisive or does it?

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I'm rapidly getting quite attached to the MSN 8 browser :)

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

With Firebird being made for OSX are we suppose to use that instead of camino?

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

crazybrowser for everyday use.. and firebird as an alternative for bug-testing

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Safari does the job nicely for me ... it has a very effective pop-up stopper and loads pages about 50% faster than IE 5.2 for Mac OSX.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Opera 7.21 on win 2k and occasionally IE6 (because lasy^&£ $N& £^!!!) web programers can't be bothered to follow the w3c standards!

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Used to use Netscape when it was first aroun :eek: (showing my age now!!). But moved to IE later in life. Happy with it now, though I feel Netscape really got a raw deal.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mozilla firebird, Konqueror, and for IE users www.myie2.com is a MUST, Its a replacement shell/front end for IE and is all that IE should have been. :-) Too many features to wax lyrical here, try it yourselves. If ya dont like it uninstall it (less then 2M download)

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

:zzz: Opera of course (for browsing & mail client) !! why bother with anything else ??

(I do use an Avant patched IE for when lazy web programmers don't follow standards as Scarlett pointed out - but that is now rare 'cos Opera is getting more and more tolerant :) )

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

You might like to look at a commercial site which lists 25 browsers, all downloadable. I've tried most of them. Most are a bit of a waste of space.

Even though I dislike the ubiquitous Microsoft, IE6 is still hard to beat.

Mozilla and Opera have their own email clients - I like Mozilla the better of the two and the spam controls are very good. If you want another email client, like Eudora, Firebird is a cut-down version of Mozilla and is quicker.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

has anyone tried the neoplanet browser ?

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Neoplanet is just a customised version of IE, so any problems IE has will also be present in that.

Avant browser is the same. They're just unneccessary bloatware frankly.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I use IE6 with Win XP for just about everything, Mozilla Firefox 0.8 for my Gmail, Opera 7.11 for another e-mail, and any others that I have is just general things.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Same story with me....but it was annoying how lots of sites wouldn't display/load properly with netscape back then.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I.e.6

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Another vote for IE(6) here.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Mozilla all the way.

Ie caused too many crashes.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

mostly i use ie6, but i also use opera 7.23 and mozilla firefox 0.9 every now and then.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I like lynx :)

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Opera for me. I've even installed it to my network user area in 6th form, mainly to stop all the damn pop up adds and the spyware search bars that every computer's IE seems to have.

I do have one use for IE6 and that's viewing my bank balance online as nwolb.com doesn't support Opera :rolleyes:

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

Ie 6, Sp2.

Re: Your Favorite Browser
 

I'm using Firefox 0.9.1 at the moment and it's my favourite browser(Firefox).
