Guest Propaganda Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 A good web browser that I tend to use back at my pad was the Avcant Browser. It was so reliant and good save multiples pages without slowing down with speed and good picture caputres with it. It also blocks pop ups ad's and catches spyware on pages.

Hoblow Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Well, i've been on Mozilla for a few days now and i have nothing but praise for it. It runs smoother, is definitely more intelligent and no more popups! 2 thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enueone Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 yeah..i tried firebird but i like plain old mozilla better...although i haven't tried firebird on jaguar, and have yet to install panther.. safari is pretty good now that it's a little more stable..i used to have weird issues with popups and crap, things never sizing right but they seemed to have got all those bugs..

square Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 opera this feature is pretty trivial, but for some reason really useful. if your computer crashes for whatever reason, the next time you open Opera it will give you the option of starting with your home-page, or no page, or with all the pages you had open the moment the computer or program froze. just saves time.

adderall Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I didnt expect to see Firebird mentioned on this thread.. but its great to see it represented. Not only is Firebird my favorite browser, it is also the best browser hands down. I've used every other app.. nothing compares. Tabbed browsing means only one window to close at work when the boss is approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Out of curiosity, i downloaded and running for the last 4 days firebird 7.0...i get a few glitches from time to time (mostly with java apps) but its so fuckin dope i aint going back to IE no way....my biggest problem is the size of the reply windows ( yahoo.mail and here)...its like half the size it used to be, the frame i'm typing in right now has the width of the subject bar....any ideas on this?

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This is a stupid question, but can you use Safari or Mozilla or Firebird on Windows? I'm guessing the answer is no because it looks like all these are meant for Mac. I was using Safari for a month while at home on an iBook and it was so much better than this crap I'm using now (IE).

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Mac Firebird users: How the FUCK do I turn off text smoothing? I fucking hate it and can't find anything under prefences to turn it off. IE, in the other hand, has it clearly under "Interface Extras" (enable Quartz text smoothing). If there is no way to turn it off, Firebird is going to the trash bin quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Kaes, yes you can...that was the reason for me to be so uninterested in this thread at first..all the good shit for mac story...however, theres a PC firebird version (the link is in this thread somewhere) its only 6mb's and it also automatically imports your fav's from IE...you wont regret this, Setting homepage with tabs for other sites aswell is sweet. on a sidenote, the only thats missing from firebird is the right click>Save target as..option...any ideas?

Dick Quickwood Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 i'm getting another browser because some images don't load with IE, even after i clear the cache and temp. files. it looks like i'm getting mozilla firebird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 CMON, ANYONE?!?! Raven, you know anything on turning off text smoothing? http://newcamp.net/hector/images/12oz/good.gif'> ^This (IE5) = Awesome http://newcamp.net/hector/images/12oz/bad.gif'> ^This (Firebird) = Shit C'mon, I absolutely adore this browser and don't want to get rid of it... please tell me there's a way to fix this...

Dick Quickwood Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 it seems like it would be in the "fonts and colors" options someone else mentioned that the "reply" box is all thin now, i'm getting that too, i would fix it if i knew how i noticed it's called firefox now edit: mine looks more like the first screen shot, which leads me to beleive it's a mac thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Originally posted by ARCEL edit: mine looks more like the first screen shot, which leads me to beleive it's a mac thing It IS a Mac thing, it's called Quartz Text Smoothing, and it generally looks good for fonts above a certain size... but smaller than that it just looks blurry. Like I mentioned, Explorer has an option to turn it off, Firebird doesn't seem to have one, not even the "fonts & colors" option. I'm downloading the Firefox update, hopefully the issue has been addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Oh sweet goodness..... My IE has been so buggy lately and now it wont even launch.

villain Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Originally posted by Crimsøn 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... I would suggest using an alternative because there are crackers now who can change the address in the address bar AND the task bar to look like your at a legitimate... let's say paypal site. When in actuallity you are on some crackers server. Besides it's made by microsoft. Holy moley. Though I find myself having to use IE sometimes cause I can't get some apps to work right without it. Damn software propriety crap. Mozilla is good. It is still susceptible to this attack but it drops clues when it happens. I hear opera is pretty good too but I ain't tried it yet.

villain Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I was using My IE 2 for a while and that's got alot of nice features. I don't know if it's susceptible to that attack still or what though. It's just an enhanced version of IE. -sorry mams I don't know about the text smoothing... I haven't used it enough to know.

misteraven Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Not sure about text smoothing either. I like my text all smooth. Took a while to get used to, but now I cant go back. Kinda reminds me of running windows 98 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I found a way around it... I set the minimum font size to one above what's specified in for this forum, and everything now looks awesome and smooth, not a blurry mess like what I posted. And yeah I'm getting used to it... the jaggies are starting to look severely undope now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
