I think you're not understanding what is being said if you think that, though. =/ It's a normal discussion where people give their opinions, which is nothing to avoid..... Shouldn't take everything in such an offensive way always.. =O

can i just say, we will never reach an agreement on this, some people prefer having compatibility even it costs them security (MSIE) some people like having everything ready for them from when they start, with little customisation required (Opera) and some people like chopping and changing things to suit their needs (Firefox).

So there is know point of having this topic

He uses IE, and look, he will give Firefox a try. That means that he's not closed to suggestions about browsers, ie he doesn't love the browser he's using above any other.

I think we just found a purpose to the topic; at least now he'll broaden his mind and try other things, I'm not saying he'll see he's wrong or anything, but he just might decide that Firefox is better. For him.

* lhunath loves discussions.

There is a very big point that everyone is missing. These types of threads are usually where people say what features they like. Let's say you use Browser X, and it has tabbed browsing and a pop-up stopper, but you want more features. Let's say browser Y has tabbed browsing and a pop-up stopper, but let's you install plugins. You would probably switch from Browser X to Browser Y. The point is to make everyone happy.

And yes this makes snese, in a profound sort of way.

Your right Joe, That was the purpose
-----OFFTOPIC-----
Joe, get on msn dude!!

* Millenium_edition goes for firefox

it has extensions and everything etc etc
opera is too heavy i think, but the popup blocker is the best

Mozilla firefox is the best

I've read the page... The guy who did the comparison isn't objective. It's a typical defend for Opera , telling the advantages over another browser as vague as possible to make it sound better (just like you find many pages for other browsers)... Read the comments, they say enough....

I voted for Firefox. And I shall tell you exactly why, and how I came to this decision. I take a slightly different approach in that I do not think spouting a list of features is a great way to explain why one is preferable to another.

I was a happy IE user for many years, when my brother recommended Mozilla Firebird (as it was then known). I gave it a try for about 30 minutes. I didn't like it. I removed it from my computer, and went back to IE.

I later read a column in a computer magazine, whereby the reporter mentioned he was using a new browser called Firebird. Having seen two recommendations for it, I decided to give it another go

Its been on my system ever since. What I had failed to do the first time, was use it for a long enough period of time. The first time I tried it, all 30 minutes told me, was that it was different to IE in many ways. I didn't like change, so I didn't give it a fair chance.

I also tried out Opera and Avant. I gave both of these a chance to impress me. Both of them are excellent browsers, and I understand why they both have a loyal following.

But they were not for me. Why I prefer Firefox isn't important. The fact is, I gave each of them a fair chance to impress. And I made my choice.

I did the same thing when I grew tired of WS_FTP. I tried out several programs, and settled upon FlashFXP which I then bought.

I think a much more productive thread would be, what browser alternatives are there? You should all then be able to try them out, and decide for yourselves which is better for you. Whether it be Opera, Avant, Firefox, or even IE, at least then you will be well informed!
