Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I think this should be a sticky, very good information :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Some that you missed:

Stucked

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

The funny thing is i didnt even know those web browsers existed

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I think IE, Safari, Opera, Mozilla and Firefox

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

http://www.offbyone.com/ a rather odd browser, somewhat backward in capability, but sometimes works where a site disagrees with IE and content blocker settings, by making it fall back to the lowest common denominator.

Can also be useful as a basic (but safe) HTML viewer.

There is much that it CAN'T do, and at times, that can be its biggest plus point.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Crazy Browser is what I use

http://crazybrowser.com

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Nobody mentioned Lynx

http://lynx.browser.org/

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I use Netcaptor. Uses the same caore as IE6 but has some nice additional security features bulit in

http://www.netcaptor.com

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Crazy Browser is simply an IE skin. It's highly disingenuous of those of type of things to claim they are 'browsers' in their own right when they are not.

All the IE security flaws will still be present in such things, yet people are often conned into thinking they must be safe as they don't use IE.

For Windows users, the only REAL, viable alternative browsers are Firefox, Mozilla, K-Meleon, Netscape and Opera. And even then, it could be argued that Firefox, Netscape and K-Meleon are not browsers in their own right either, but simply Mozilla skins.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Yeah, cuz its crap ;) Its not the 70s any more!

There are much better, graphical, ones for Linux... like

Epiphany

and

Konquerer
__________________

To say they are skins of each other is a bit underestimating. They use the same rendering engine (Gecko), but FireFox and Mozilla are nothing alike. FireFox was rebuilt from the ground up because Mozilla was such a huge steaming pile of bloatware.

In fact more browsers use Gecko than people realise. The only other 2 really are (Microsoft's) Trident and KHTML

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Think you missed a / on that last url ;)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Ah well that's why I said 'it could be argued'....:D

I don't happen to believe that view myself. But in the same way, they aren't entirely 100% different browsers either, by virtue of the common rendering engine.

Though I prefer Firefox, Opera has no such issues, it's 100% individual.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Erm .. and Opera's 'Presto' (which is also licensed by Adobe for their Creative Suite).

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Lynx is popular among people with certain kinds of disablity still :confused:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I believe that the Creative Suite apps use to both to preview web pages and display the help system.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Deepnet Explorer is rather spiffing:

www.deepnetexplorer.com

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

don't forget msn explorer

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Theres probably loads, but whats even funnier is that all these 3rd party browsers still need IE to run, am I right?

---------- Post added at 21:59 ---------- Previous post was at 21:57 ----------

I thought modzilla was a part of ff.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

no your not....

Safari is a mac browser- doesn't require IE
netscape doesn't require IE
firefox doesn't require IE...

I could go on...

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Ok, heres a question for you all....which browsers are 64bit?
I tried 'Deer Park' alpha (firefox 64bit) and while it was fast, it didn't allow my mouse to use all of it's functions.
atm, I'm using IE 64bit and it's blistering but it still looks pants and doesn't have the functionality of FF.
Any other ideas? :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Compile and build FF yourself ;)

(I'm running FF1.5 built for amd64)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Speek Eengleesh! :dunce:

So, who do I have to kill for it? :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Me no speak engleeesh!

No-one :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

'ang on a mo'.......why do I want Fedora? All I want is FF64bit :confused:

---------- Post added at 16:51 ---------- Previous post was at 16:48 ----------

You are a geek.....aren't you? :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

It's the 64 bit version, I run it at home and is where I got FF64 from...possibly you were after a version for windows :p:

Damn I've been outed! :cry: :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Git! :D



I'm gonna do more than that if I catch you! Getting my hopes up like that! :mad: :D

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Get a proper browser, like MSM. FF is dollop, and so are these other ones you all mention like netscape, they do not support a lot of of utilities, they are about as much use as a cat flap in a rhino house!

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Firefox isnt crap at all, you can make sites compatible (the ones that only work in IE) by downloading IE Tab

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Why bother?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Got a link, I can't find hide nor hair on google about a browser called MSM :confused:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

could it be this?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Because it saves having to switch between browsers

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I was wondering that, but he was saying it is better than FF and that one looks sh*te!:confused:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

2 more for your collection:

OffbyOne
http://offbyone.com/

K-meleon
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/

If you are looking for an overlay for IE then there is this:
http://www.phaseout.net/

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

If you used a browser that was allready compatable with your needs then you wouldn't switch anyway.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Actually, its the other way around. Firefox is in fact have better at making websites work and following Web Standards than IE. IE has problems with css and one of the reasons that some sites only work in IE is because of bad coding on part of the developer of the site.

IE has dodgy CSS support, is quite insecure, and by modern standards it outdated. A lot of browsers now have pop blocker, tabs and search. Most of these issue are going to be fixed in IE7.

Otherwise IE is an awful browser.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Well Said :tu:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

yes - firefox can stumble with some banking sites I use
will install that - cheers :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Iv,e not had any popup problems for ages, mabe it is because of norton or zone alarms that I have, i can't remember, but you dont't need to rely on up to date browsers to filter these out as there are seperate programs for them anyway that would probably do the job better. And saying that websites are poorly programed because they do not support FF is just a cop out, try the other way round. Maybe FF will be the future of web browsing, but it's got a long way to go yet before it can take on IE or MSN, FF has done litte for me so far apart from saving my passwords when I DL when I use from paysites, it can't even multiple DL.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Actually, when you say "Multiple DL", you mean "split a file into pieces and download from multiple servers", then IE cannot do that either, without extra software.

As for websites not displaying properly on FF, well, that *is* bad coding on those sites. You appear to be assuming that everyone views the web on a PC. While most people do, not everyone does. A lot of people view the web on their mobiles, or handheld devices (such as Playstation Portables or PDAs) attached to wireless networks. I haven't even mentioned the people who view the web through their TV, or the blind who may need to use adapted browsers (a site that relies on special IE features won't work well with screen readers. I also haven't mentioned that sizable number of user who dare to use an Operating System that is in competition to Windows (MacOSX, Linux and other Unixes).

anyway, I have to admit, I agree with you in one way, I don't like Firefox myself. I personally prefer Opera.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

You ever tried making a website with CSS? They look different in firefox than they do in IE. ! The code is fine, works in FF, Safari, Opera and then IE comes to mess it up.

Code that only works in IE means very bad code.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

:monkey: msm is the top browser for me

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

MSM?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

he means msn...

anyhoo you're missing one of the best browsers going!
Sea Monkey.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

Its an evolution of the full mozilla suite, with all functionality there and less bloat.
It also has a very handy feature of having an auto systray function which allows it to stay partially in memory for quick launching.

Netscape 8.1 is also very good, it should be noted that there is a vast difference between netscape upto version 7.x and 8.x onwards

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I thought he meant msn - but he's said msm twice now. Surely it can't be his chosen browser if he doesn't even know what it's called :confused:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I might be a bit dislectik lol!! but it is a good browser, if not a bit too borderish.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

IMHO its not, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Just had a look through the MSN browser 'features.' It would appear the only thing it has to offer is integrated MSN services. TBH, looks like a kiddies & n00bs browser to me.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I Thought this was a sticky info thread, not a mine is better than yours one,
But i may be wrong :shrug:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Think you're right there, Marky! :dunce:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

please tell me why people are turning to ff, it is of no use to me without the support of DAP.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

more secure, tabbed browsing, faster, more customizable (addons / themes / extensions), rss support, follows web standards to the letter, less bloaty. Are just some of the starters, pretty much everyone i know thats tried firefox has thanked me for the tip and stuck with it.
As for DAP, i've just checked there website and version 8 supports moz' and firefox

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I've down loaded the latest version of DAP and I tried it in FF, but it is still not in the right click. Yes, ive restarted my comp.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I was recommended by a FF lover to download a dl manager extention. I did this last week but I kept being prompted to download spyfalcon which is by modzilla, I assumed this was a part of it. Anyway as soon as I did this I started getting popups and waring bubbles from my tool bar saying that I have been infected with spyware and I am to download and (register) the most effcient removal program.

Now it's saying that if I do not do somthing about it soon my machine will be corrupt and damaged. All I can say is MODZILLA IS A PILE OF **** and anybody that recomends it does not know what they are on about, oh and dap 8 is not compatable with FF, another lie. All I can say is KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE DISHING OUT ADVISE.

I have now uninstalled FF and im doing my best to uninstall spyfalcon, it keeps coming back all the time when I try to get rid of it. All I can say is I wish I stuck with my own instincts and stayed away from that modzilla rubbish. And yes, I got it through a link on this board. I AM ANGRY AND I MAY HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOWS.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

http://www.speedbit.com/

DAP 8 is- according to their own website- compatible with firefox, so perhaps before you accuse forum members of lying you should check that you know what you are talking about.

Oh and Spyfalcon is not a Mozilla program- a little research before you installed the software would have told you this.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Well it was still through the link of a FF application.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

ahh firefox must be evil then. Because of course there are no toolbars for IE that are bundled with spyware... oh apart from the 18 listed here as parasites. And then of course there are the numerous BHOs... but then i suppose if you install one of those it serves you right. But of course, as you downloaded someone containing spyware which was associated with firefox, that is Mozilla's fault and therefore Firefox is evil. Ah huh. I see the logic there.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

You're less likely to pick somthing up under firefox but it is still possible and should not be taken for granted that its 100% safe. Nothing truely is.
If you google for your known problem with the word remove, with it your bound to find how to get rid of it for good

http://www.infopackets.com/channels/...structions.htm

thats the first result though i dont know the source so dont trust it as gospel

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I'm not stupid enough to dL tool bars for any browser, It just seems to me that you just don't like IE, If FF is so good then they should make sure that their sites are clean, but yes I was stupid enough to listen to some of the people here because now I have to reinstall windows, I'm just saving all of my work to disk before I format. Just to recap you, I followed the link that was given on THIS BOARD, so I didn't just yahoo my way to it.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Which link? What post #number was it in?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I don't have a problem with IE, and i don't love firefox. Infact, I am currently using Safari but it is of little concern to me which browsers people chose to use.

I would be interested to know which link you are referring to, as i have checked all of the threads you have contributed to and there are no links in any of them that link to software containing spyware/ malware. If you can point out the link to me i'll make sure it is removed from the site.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Safari is fast! And doesnt take up a lot of ram compared to firefox!

I really wish i could use it but i cant access my uni portal using it :(

http://ee.kent.ac.uk

Go to local only, it wont let you in but even if u put a correct user name and password you get the same error

:(

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

hmm i get the same... do you get a security alert as well?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I am guessing that is because you aren't allowed to view the page off campus?

Most protection like that is host based. Can you try dialling into the university's network, so you have a kent.ac.uk hostname?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

sorry, I'm not sure what you mean about toolbars - for example the google toolbar I have installed works fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer?

As for your gripe, there are several disclaimers concerning the use of 3rd party extensions in Firefox, you seem to have fallen foul of a bad one - it is not the fault of the whole Mozilla project, whose aims you may have mis-understood, open source is just that....

- and links 'on this board' are given 'in good faith', the admins have no liability for checking their authenticity- you do ;)

Welcome to the site by the way

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Anyone use or heard of Maxthon, I had never heard of it until 10 minutes ago.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I only mentioned toolbars because sombody else said that there is a lot of spyware when you dl them for IE, I was basically saying that tools bars that you dl are rubbish and I never do. Bottom line, FF and modzilla has ruined my computing and I don't care who ever says otherwise.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Isn't that a nice shiny bolt on for IE? tabbed browsing etc...I tried it a couple of years ago, it's ok. :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Yes, it looks like a "bolt on" as you put it.
"OK" sounds like you were not to impressed Rammy.

I think I will give it a go :erm:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I think it was ok but iirc it was a bit difficult to get CF to display properly using it......but thats probably just me :dunce:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

did it not display your cards properly ;)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Well, then don't care.

Doesn't change the fact that it was some third party program that you still haven't identified. One wonders why that is; at least you should warn other users where not to go, if not even tell the nice folks that might be hosting the malicious extension.

For what it's worth: I installed getright for my downloads.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I have been using firefox for several years, but recently have been giving SeaMonkey a go, and like keithwalton said, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Impressed at the moment, an all-in-one package, and once setup works very well. All my add ons from Firefox work, even the email client was easy to setup. So if you want a package that does it all give it a go.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

firefox for the last year and a half.

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Is Firefox 2 out yet?

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

See here

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Yes I just noticed that :blush:

thanks anyway :tu:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

Firefox just owns all ;)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

That's an insightful post :erm:

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

64-bit FF2, also known as "Bon Echo" can be downloaded from here. Been using it for a while now, and it seems a little snappier - but I think the major advantage is better security against spyware and all that mumbo jumbo.

It's self extracting but doesn't create icons, so you can install it away from your x86 FF and it won't effect it. It'll simply read your normal profile and should load it without any troubles :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I use IE7 and Flock

Has anyone tried "Flock", it is rather fun and funky???

Here is a link to get it---- Flock browser

And review of it ----- see flock review

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

I must admit, i did not know there are so many :)

This is the one I use: MyIE2 -- Version 9.27.68 (BEST VERSION)

It was renamed to maxthon and Is not as good as it used to be (In my opinion) .... I use the LAST VERSION of "MyIE2" which is an outstanding browser and my favourite :)

Download it here :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
 

So nice information!

I am using IE8 & Google Chrome, and knew Firefox, Opera & Safari, but I really did not hear of those web browsers before reading this post!

Re: List of web browsers for you all

I didn't know that there are other browser than firefox LOL! :)

Re: List of web browsers for you all
