Favorite Web Browser?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering what everyone's favorite web browser is? I just stumbled across Mozilla Firebird (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/) for OSX and it's pretty amazing. Might have to bump Safari (http://www.apple.com/safari) for my full time browser. Camino isn't shabby but the development cycle sucks once Apple came out with their browser. I keep hearing good things about the Omni Web 5 that comes out this week I think.

 

Anyhow, I know most of you are on PC's and are stuck using IE or Opera (Definitely the better of the two), but out of curiosity, what's everyone using and why?

all I have ever used is IE, I used mozilla once and it looked just like an ie knockoff...so my question is this;

 

Everything comes with IE on it...IE does what it's designed to do, explore the internet, and I have never had problems with IE...so why would I even bother trying something else?

 

The cool factor?

Hmmm...

 

Replies welcome...

Ie has terrible security. IT takes one second for your entire browser to be hijacked and spyware installed. absolutely terrible with privacy...

 

imnot sure how opera works in this regard, but stand-alone IE will get your computer infected with viruses, spyware, malware, adware and porno dialers in about 5 minutes of web-browsing. Adjusting the security control to "high" makes any practical web-browsing impossible. Tweaking everything requires changes for each website, rendering some un-usable and some totally trashed. impractical to change for every site. FUCK IE, if there was something better out there, thats free, id definately use it. and there is not ...

Wow.. those are all the things that piss me off about IExplorer that I've never sat down and cohesively thought about... I'm stupified.

Does this mean that when you have multiple windows open there will only be one application window in the task bar and you window has tabs to seperate the windows atop the program?

 

correct. there's tabbed browsing on netscape and a few other browsers. makes it so much easier having a few tabs to flick thru rather than a whole bunch of different windows open

READ MORE ON FIREBIRD, THEN DOWNLOAD IT AND NEVER USE ANOTHER BROWSER AGAIN.

 

*Of course you can find plug-in's and extra features like this for IE, but why go threw the trouble?? Everything you need is in one place with Mozilla Firebird!

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here.

 

Anyone know of/if there are any sites I can d/l

Netscape 7.1 themes/skins from? I just switched

from IE for tabbed browsing... This looks alright

on it's own... but it'd be dope if I could choose

something other than 'modern' or 'classic'.
