What browser do you currently use?
I just switched to "Avant browser" and so far it's not half bad. Of course, I still use IE7 and Firefox. On my laptop w/ Ubuntu I use Firefox.
Is there just one browser out there that satisfies everything we need? Please vote on one or multiple browsers you currently use.
If there is a browser that's not on the poll please post it and I will add.
Opera 9.2 baby...
Ryan
zzzzz IE is garbage
Only use Firefox atm. When I have more time I might try some others though.
i like maxthon a lot but i use Opera in 4 different OSs so...
I use tweaked IE 7, a lot faster than tweaked Firefox.
I both use IE and firefox. :)
Opera is pwnage.
I use both IE7 and Firefox.
Opera >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Firefox
Firefox, and IE 7.
Are the tweaks custom? Or is it an addon?Quote:

Firefox with IE tab options so I do not have to use IE....
I use Firefox mainly and some IE7 as well. :D
I use Firefox on my desktop, and Opera 9 on pages that I cant view in FF (Youtube!). if opera had plugins Id swap pretty easy. I just cant give up Noscript, flashblock and remove it permanently plugins.
you forgot Dillo
I only use firefox. It does everything I need it to and more.
Firefox 2.0.0.4.
firefox
Opera 7.54 lol... & a lil bit of ff
Firefox 2.0.
Was using Opera, but it started to annoy me with a lot of sites. So I finally switched over to Firefox.
Firefox, have been since it's beginning
I used Opera for a while and really didn't like it so I switched to Firefox and it's great. Currently at 2.0.0.5.
Firefox for me at home and on Both PC and Mac workstations at office. One of the best browsers around.
Slimbrowser 4.10, very nic e features
Predominantly Opera 9.2 but on the odd occasion IE.
Opera 9.2
[X] Firefox
since 2k4 i think. :up:
AOL
I'm the only one, I hate AOL
Go Opera Go!
Although not all sites play nice with it, especially sites with embedded elements.
i am using Firefox right know, this is the best browser!!
Opera 9.2 currently.
firefox and lynx
Firefox since 2002/3. I love it's customizability, only gecko based browser that I can shape at the palm of my hand, lovely.
Firefox 2.0.0.6 (Using IETab as well so I won't have to switch browsers) plus a bit of Safari.
firefox or a mod of mozilla that actually runs faster ( it is optimized for my crappy cpu :D )
IE 7.0
Used to use Firefox, but when IE 7.0 came out I went back to it and never looked back.
Jared
Firefox from the 1st day it released.
Firefox + IE plugin = :eleph: :eleph:
No more IE expect maybe at a reinstalled to get updates thats it. Keep Firefox 2.0 on a usb drive for fresh installs!
Firefox....most of the time. Sometimes OPERA
Maxthon 2.0 :)
Firefox. I never actually used an another browser.
I use Opera. Love the browser, however...
There are a few occasions where I need to fire up the old SlimBrowser which is still great. I need to do this when I run across that rare page that just doesn't work right in Opera.
Firefox all the way:yepp:
Using Opera on desktops, and Firefox on laptops, why? because firefox takes less space for all the buttons and all the unnecessary stuff
Firefox.
Even though Opera apparently proved itself to be faster, I'm sticking with Firefox.
Waiting for them to release 64-bit Windows builds, which is apparently coming with Firefox 3.0 as far as I can tell. Could compile my own, but I'm quite lazy.
Avant Browser :up:. Very similar to firefox, but better tabbed browsing IMO.
FF FTW! :banana:
Internet Explorer 7 for me :up: & FF for the wife.
Around 9 of them and I beta test and used to help in development.
You missed two others I've used on and off: K-Meleon and Neoplanet. ;)
I have IE version 3 to 7 for troubleshooting and many others, but I'm most accustomed to using Fx, Opera second choice and then IE 7 wherever its a must.
I use IE 6, when I have to, FF usually, going to look into Opera though.
I agree, that to me, IE seems to run a little faster then FF lately, or that could just be me.
I've used a lot of browsers... netscape, mozilla (still handy for crappy html editing), firefox, opera, IE, konqueror, whatever the one that used to come with gentoo was called... cant remember now.
I used to love firefox, and I still use it for serious browsing at home but with every update it gets slower and more bloated. Anymore I find myself using Opera because it's both fast to start up, and fast to load pages. My only complaint is that when I'm viewing threads that have lots of images... it tends to go a litle wonky.
Pretty much anything but IE.... IE 7 is more irritating than the last version, slower and uglier :(. I can never seem to use IE for more than about 15 minutes without it locking up on me.
Really any browser in Linux works fine... firefox seems much peppier in ubuntu, konqueror is pretty nice as well. Man this makes me want to switch back!
"what's iexplore.exe? it's a program that allows you to visit www.opera.com and download a browser after you've just installed Windows" :D
Opera only and forever, currently 9.24, 9.5* beta releases still seem a bit buggy for me. However sometimes i still have to get into that freaking IE - some sites that were made by left leg may have troubles with JScript/page layouts/etc in Opera.
Tried FF sometimes... it's nice, but - for me - not as good as Opera :) Not talking about that it's way better than IE. Seriously, i hadn't used anything as fast and comfortable as Opera ever. Under windows i mean, my linux expirience isn't rich.
Tried Opera 9.2 coming from 2 years of Firefox.
Opening things in a new tab just pissed me off.
Couldn't break old habits and key gestures.
Firefox and Opera for me.
But, mainly Firefox.
FF :up:
Firefox for me :)
What do you mean?Quote:

read this carefully
There is no need for poll because no browser can beat firefox with plugins attached look here
Using simple firefox is useless go to add plugins and lots of plugins just install whichever you like
with plugins
1.you can block any dam advertisement 100% or view as per your choise
2. you can block flash advertisements 100%
3.you can stop autoplay of adverisement or utube autoplaying movies as per your liking
4. you can keep each site font viewing zoom levels means you can read in big font each site and next time firefox will open it in zoom of your choise
5.youcan zoom full page also with images
6. you can hide menu in one dropdoen butten
7. there is macro button add on by which you can add no of action like go topage bottem go to page top translate page from any langauage which you dont know which one is it to your language autorefresh your choice tabs,auto fill username password etc,tabs in multiple raw etc etc.....
8.when you go to sleep you can put your computer download on whenever it will be complit firefox will close your computer if there are multiple downloads firefox will wait to complit all
9.date time in progress bar
and much much more things are there so dont get misguided by other browser just trim your firefox to your choice and you will say
oh my god till date i was not knowing this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firefox and Opera.
Firefox with the No-script and AdBlock plugins.
Result: I never see an advertisement anywhere more than once.. EVER
Absolutely No java script will run unless I explicitly give permission. Flash is also blocked unless I specifically allow it.
Just blocking adverts and tracking sites improves Firefox performance by a very noticeable amount.
Blocking ads and tracking would improve the performance of any browser, but it can be a pain constantly updating your hosts file. Firefox plugins make it painless and simple.
Should a site not render properly in Firefox because it fails to meet W3C standards then there is an IE tab plugin which will allow the page to be rendered under Firefox using the m$ rendering engine.
Opera 9.5 FTW!!! so dam fast! plus i cant live without operas auto-reload function... i dont see FF with that! & dont tell me i gotta d/l it as an extra plugin/extension - opera has it stock! :p:
Firefox. WAY better than Internet Exploder v.6 or v.7
Can you share the source of those plug-ins?Quote:

Of those 3, the only one I use is Adblock Plus. It's enough for me; the rest seems a bit overboard.
Firefox all the way
Oh yes, and IEtab, a really great extension for FF.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
Here's another one I use, Paste and go. Paste and go was one of the things I really missed when i switched from opera to FF.

FireFox since 2004.
However, it has been crashing lately with some add ons that are pretty popular like Foxforecast, Download Status Bar, and my favorite Theme: Qute.
The Browser erases the saved settings/preferences, and I have to reload my Bookmarks. Been a headache lately.
I am use Firefox AND TheWorld Browser
Avant 99% of the time sometimes it will be wierd with facebook and ill use FF. FF is good and all but like kobalt said tabbed browsing in Avant wins.
Firefox and Links, nothing better than a text based web browser :D
They are all very similar now........I use firefox3, IE7 or safari.
I was using Mozilla RC 3 for a while and now I'm use Mozilla 3.
Default browser: Safari
Back-up: Firefox.
Too bad that Safari aint got AdBlocker.
ie7, ff3, maxthon :)
Firefox 3 all the way.
Since a few years firefox and always the newest version. :up:
lol.. firefox all the way.. though safari is way cooler.. :D
Firefox 3.0.1 atm, itīs a great browser and an alternative to IE7. :up:
me too! Once 3 came out, I just forgot about ie7.Quote:

I occasionally delete the "Thinstall/Mozilla Firefox" folder which resets everything back to the default I made whenever I created it. It also deletes anything malicious that may have been left behind in the virtual environment. I highly recommend running your browser like this for obvious reasons.
In addition to the extra security, I can simply copy my Firefox executable over to my flash drive and have a secure portable Firefox. I've got a copy (default is Firefox 3.0.1, but is update'able' if a new version comes out) hosted on my site if anyone would like to try it out, just give me a PM.
added Google Chrome :)
I'm using IE 8 beta with Maxthon 2.1.4 [ For IE 8 ] , so basically none from the list :hehe:
Firefox... used to use Minefield, but that's the same thing...
I just downloaded chrome. I'm not sure I like it yet. It does seem pretty fast though.Quote:

I've yet to try Safari or Chrome, but I'll definitely give them a try soon.
FireFox since first release in 2004:clap:
FF was released in 04? wow. guess i'm an old time user then... lol
I use firefox on both my pc and my mac. I used to be a fan of safari until firefox came around.
I'd take the version number off Opera too.Quote:

If anyone has changed what browser you use since you voted, since this has been going for a long time...let me know and I can change it.
