[Jester FPS]

Ie7 24/7. 11

[Vapor]

Camino....based off FF1.0.

Then behind that....Shiira, has some sweet features but uses too much horizontal resolution for those features.

For windows: FF1.5 and IE7 are a tie....but both pretty much suck compared to what could be....

I'm hooked on firefox (with some tweaks of course) but Dillo for Linux is a must.

You can uninstall IE7, it is at the bottom of add/remove programs.

IE 6 or 7... because I don't see the point in wasting space on a browser that does exactly the same...

[specofdust]

Opera 9. Been an opera user since the V6 days and I'd never go back to another browser.

Yay one less computer I have to use firefox on :D

Firefox FTW!:cool:

I reformatted and had to install 2.0, but my Black JapanMax isn't compatible :horse: It matches with the theme on this pc too :(

Firefox for EVER.

Ah a GNOME browser based on Mozilla's Gecko engine.

[Serra]

Firefox 1.5 (Just havn't downloaded 2.0 yet, trying to get stuff off to reformat as is).

... don't see the point in wasting space on a browswer that does exactly the same.... ... ... ... ?

Okay, here are some of the reasons (I'm using Firefox as my alternative browser here, but the same goes for others like Opera etc)
1. Firefox is what, less than 6MB to download... we'll say maybe 20MB when installed (a complete guess, but I think this gives us a lot of extra room to work with). At the average hard drive cost / GB, that equates to about a thousandth of a cent or so worth of money spent on storing it.
2. Having IE and Firefox both installed on your computer will not slow down your system at all. It's not like either program takes up any RAM or CPU cycles when you aren't using them, and;
2a. When they *are* running, Firefox uses less memory and fewer CPU cycles. This equates to an actual *gain* in computer processing power available to other tasks when using an Internet browser versus using IE6/7
3. Internet Explorer 6/7 still do not render pages according to web specifications. M$ had originally stated IE7 would conform fully, but right before release they changed their mind about it. Firefox on the other hand will display pages the way they were meant to be displayed.
4. Firefox has been proven to load web pages faster than IE because it's far more refined
5. Firefox has been proven to be more secure than IE for general web browsing (though I believe IE has a few advantages in high-security zones, I'll give it that... but you don't generally run into that online. Even banks don't count for that.)

But I suppose you're right, there's no reason to install two browsers that do the same thing... but there *IS* a point in installing a browser that gives you more in every way and requires less of you in the first place.

Firefox. I've tried Opera, but I'm not sure if I can get a bookmark toolbar at the top.

Firefox 2! :banana: :toast: Will try out Operah as well seeing as it is also pretty popular around here. Btw, I think that IE7 is just a copy of the features that Firefox had long before (tabs, etc.). Plus they moved so much stuff around, I don't have the time to go around looking for the "Tool" button...

Now you know what us Opera users feel like about firefox :p

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

firefox is a ripoff of opera, but i converted to it anyways :) used IE6 for a while, jumped to opera, jumped to k-meleon, then to FF :) always like the most minimalistic-appearance browsing experience that i can get, while still retaining functionality.

[Anemone]

IE 7 hasn't been a problem for me, but of course ymmv

[Der_KHAN]

i really got used to the look and feel of opera. minimizing a tab by clicking on it really makes it easier to navigate through forums. and opera really does load pages a lot faster than other browsers. though firefox has become a lot faster with version 2.

it is also great for dial-up users. you have a button to select, on the fly, if you wanna load images only from cache. that makes tabbed browsing possible with only 56k or ISDN.

but you have to use ie6 or firefox for some pages that opera isnt compatible with. for instance the fullscreen feature on youtube doesnt work. at least on 9.02 that is. haven't tried 9.10 yet.

[Zardokk]

Firefox FTW! I remember hearing about Firefox on TechTV before the official version 1.0 release...back before it was even CALLED Firefox. Man...good times. I miss TechTV. It taught me so much. It was what got me into hardware and software.

[somwhere_there]

a vote goes for FF 2.0 - nice and handy ;)

[VIctorj]

Maxthon

[alejo]

Firefox, although I do like Opera. It's just that Opera has little quirks I haven't gotten used to and I can't get it to sidescroll on my Thinkpad.

[[CyC]]

if you must use IE engine, Maxthon is great

but I use Firefox customizing to my liking and extensions

i opened 19 tabs in each browser

the same tabs
using FF and IE7
if i dont close the browser FF will eat up ram.....i found it one day using 995 m ram.....:confused:

i still have both installed ....but IE7 has perfomed very good since instalation

[RaZz!]

Ie7 + Ff2

[rado354]

Got Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.0 integrated into my Windows installation CD ;)
Using Firefox 2.0.0.1 almost all the time (IE7 is just for testing).
I'm not comfortable with IE7 at all, but the newest Firefox is really perfect so far not a single problem :banana:

[Brettbeck]

Haven't really tried all that many browsers, but I find Firefox works great for me :).

[grudgelord]

Firefox 2.0 is my standard choice. With the built-in spell-check and an added a gestures extension I'm set. In fact, I've ruined myself with gesture navigation. Makes working on a system without it hell.

[chen2]

When I need to open many web pages, i use firefox.:D

[Kingcarcas]

For some reason firefox has been crashing on the "family" pc a lot lately......:confused: It's ok because 2.0 has the "restore session" tab after a crash, but it can be irritating. Maybe F@H with 90% usage on both cores is eating up the memory?

[SoF]

still using an old version of mozilla.
a bit buggy but it works and it's better than ie so I stay on this version as long as it runs :)

[Soulburner]

I'm trying out Opera now. I agree it has some quirks but you can get it setup to your liking. I love the fast back/forward action.

I'm not sure if it can replace my SlimBrowser which I've been using for 3 years. I'm going to try FireFox 2 also and compare...FF2 seems closer to the SB that I'm used to.

[schifter]

Omniweb (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/).

Or, on MacOS-challenged computers, Opera.

[Xcel]

Used Firefox for a year and got sick of it crashing from time to time and it used a lot of memory browsing certain forums.
Opera all the way now but I still haven't found a cooler avatar :D

[Mortal]

Opera for me. I have all 3 browsers installed (IE7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9.20b) and I've so far been most happy with Opera. It's just a personal taste kind of thing in my opinion.

The only thing I've found Opera to be superior at is page caching. Going back and forth between pages is much better in Opera for me.

This coming from someone who hated and said he'd never use Opera again around 5 years ago. It used to crash consistently back then. Start it up; crash. Open a page; crash. View an image; crash. Pray to the computer gods that it won't crash again; crash.

[LazyBum]

I was strictly Firefox for a long time but recently I have kinda bounced between FF2, IE7 and Opera, and once in a great while Konqueror. I hated IE6, but IE7 has grown on me after being forced to use it because of a couple of school web apps. Opera is pretty cool, but it is different enough that I wasn't an immediate fan, but it is really growing on me the more I use it.

[Soulburner]

A question for you Opera guys:

How do you turn off the function of the forward mouse button doing "Fast Forward"? It is really annoying on forums when I only want to go "Forward".

Also how can you move the toolbars around in the order you want them like in IE?
