What is your favorite web browser?
Well i like IE6, but i have heard that firefox is better, but have tryed it yet!

Browser-wars:
The mozilla menace

The army of the IE Old Republic must fight against the Fire Fox and the Thunder Bird which are putting the old civilisation in danger. Some rebel factions of the universe have joined the action of these ancient monsters. Their purpose: Respawning the archimonster of the hell: Mozilla who was converted into a Gecko during an Opera by a spell from the Mystic Konkerors.

I like Opera, though I haven't tried FireFox. I started using Opera back before Mozilla/FireFox was so popular, and I'm very happy with it, so I see no reason to switch.

IE is all right... I don't hate it as much as some people do. I've never had real problems with it, and I still use it occasionally for testing stuff.

One main reason I don't use IE is because it lacks many features that are necessary for "power users" like me. I suppose something like Avant could add those features, but I've never tried that either.

Firefox is THE best. It has everything IE has (well, not counting security problems ) and more. Tabbed browsing, built-in downlaod manager, themes, extensions... http://www.getfirefox.com

i use IE and Avant.

I love mozilla firefox install it on mates pc's lol

I prefer Opera.

But most browsers are. Those things you said are supported by a wide range of other browsers, including Opera, which, I don't think, you tried. You are what is the consequence of ignorant and blind browser wars.

firefox!

/lock

i've used
ie4
ie6
safari
firebird
firefox
firefox osx
opera os9.2

so far the firefox family is my favorite

I tend to use Avant Browser more than any other, simply because it's what I'm used to, but I've got a few others installed too.  Opera is but one.

I dont use IE6 because it always close up, thats why i switched to Firefox. Now i want erase IE6.

I use firefox qand ie sometimes at same time i know i know thats useless but dunno sometimes things open in ie and i keep browising on ie and ie uses less memory and starts faster which is better for a fast search on the net.

I also like Opera, but I also haven't tried FireFox.  For now I use Opera....

avant browser rox0rs

i know how many times it has been sed, i just want to make my comment:

i havnt used any other browser other than IE and Fireforx, i wud never want to switch to any other

firefox is da best

I always used to love Internet explorer, for a while i tried Opera, i liked it, but that was back when I was into all of the mac osx themes, and thats just like what opera is like, after a while, I went back to using Internet Explorer, then stigmata came round and persuaded me to use Mozilla Firefox, and now its all i use

I use mainly good old stable Netscape (also from Mozilla family, but without the bugs ) without the AOL stuff...

Like everybody else, I also still use IE  (eg: windows update, some ie-specific sites (although Netscape can handle them mostly with a nice small userAgent-plugin), and like someone said, sometimes I keep on browsing when I'm in IE anyways)

I use Firefox all the way

i always used ie 6 but then i decided to try opera because people said it was good so i tried it...

it was running slow for me and it had so many confusing buttons and i didn't know which one to press..

then i switched bak to ie 6 and stayed that way.. But then someone in this forum told me to try firefox so i did and i love it.. Already a month i think

I love all of its useful extensions.. Very user friendly..

I Hate IE long live Firefox the greatest invention of the 20th century Easy to use, Reliable it's a fresh breath of air.

Tried everything, but Avant Browser is the best.

better than firefox with all the best extension installed?

IE, firefox and opera

Opera all the way!

Have used Mozilla Something-or-other (?), Mozilla FireFox, Netscape classic (v1-v4?), new Netscape (v7.0+?), Internet Explorer(v3-v6), Aerobrowser (v?) (RIP ), Opera (v6?-v8).

Opera affiliate links [/plug]

I use Opera, have used it for a while now, since version 5 (back then skins were around 1MB ). And I really like it.

Keystorm - With opera, you can have the download speed in the status bar

firefox

At the moment i'm using Maxthon which is basically IE with extra facilities (tabbed browsing for example). One of the advantages of this is that websites that tend only to work for IE work on Maxthon just as well.

I use Maxthon. Has some of the best plugins I've seen. I have tried Firefox, Opera and Avant. Along with some other IE shells.

I just haven't gotten use to the way Opera and Firefox works. Maxthon has everything I need and more!

I've been using Firefox for quite a while now after switching from IE. I haven't tried any others, but Firefox is great, no problems with it at all. Tabbed browsing is so much easier, plus some of the extensions available are so useful. I use the mouse gestures extension so much, to go back for example, you hold the right mouse button and drag left. When i use IE at school, i'm always dragging my mouse to the left to go back.

I would definitely recommend Firefox. I find it easy to use and it's just a great browser.

Although I do have FireFox and Internet Explorer, I tend to use Internet Explorer, I think it's just a habit to click on the IE logo.

My main one is firefox.

Maxthon, i've been using it for awhile now, it use to be called IE2.

It's awsome, has a built in ad blocker and popup blocker....

Tabbed browsing, click drag functions, undo button.  It's awsome.

Firefox for me nowadays, used to be an addict to Opera until somehow it crapped out on me

No not a browser war

btw...firefox

Firefox rules

If everyone got to choose their browser that they get with their OS.. Firefox would win.

But unfortunately, IE comes with Windows

to be honest, the security problems in IE are overrated, unless you are going to go on dodgy russian porn sites, and click every link you are ever given, there is no reason for viruses to be installed on your system.

I agree with saralk, also if you set up all IE's activex and cookie settings properly you wont have much of a problem<i>

nah not viruses just spyware, ad aware, malware and all that stuff that slows down your PC.

I find a combination of firefox and zonealarm are a mix which stops all that.

Yay! Another browser war thread... just what this forum needs.

I use FireFox - it works, doesn't crash my computer, has tabbed browsing, is cross-platform compatible (I use Linux and Windows) and has lots of extensions and plugins. Not the mention the security.

Internet Explorer plain sucks. The free version of Opera is ad supported (and I don't like the way it works anyway) and when I used Netscape it didn't display webpages nicely.

Netscape 6 didn't. Mozilla and Firefox do, but Firefox's is tweaked.

I sue firefox.....used to use IE but found that if you wanted to download things it could auto download something else without you knowing...therefore endangering your computer's health.

I prefer Firefox for its wide array of extensions & themes, it's RSS compatible (that thing is GOD (not literally, but you know)) and all around it's a really great browser

Firefox for it's unending amount of customizability. I find that the startup time is not that much slower than IE, but since I have so many plugins my startup time is slower. But then again, I also use the Litestep shell, so IE isn't preloaded when I boot (since explorer isn't loaded when I boot).

FF all the way!..altho in some cases i use a little IE too but mostly FireFox cuz its fast..i tweaked it a little by changing the send request numbers in about:config

this browser just works for me
i suggest it to everyone

Not another browser war

Ok here is the lowdown ....

I was a normal IE user who had 1 prob which was that my pc would get slow due to IE

I made a poll here to c whats the major browser and i found that ff was
no. 1 and IE was a distant 2nd and opera was even further away in 3rd
.... not many avant users and all

So i switched to FF and i have never looked back .... its fast (not too
much ram consumption) and has pretty nice features like the bookmarks
bar :

i use IE cause all i want my browser to do is view web pages and IE does that the best IMO plus it loads the fastest on my PC

That's the strongest reason I've seen so far. Well done! BTW it loads fast because it is always loaded because of shell integration.

Sometimes you dont need lots of features, its a web browser to browse webpages. You dont NEED tabs, you dont NEED all the extra features, there just handy

I downloaded Deer Park 1 Alpha its pretty good

I use Firefox, but I am not really happy with it (Still some javascript wee-wee's here and there.), does Opera has same problems like that?

well I use firefox because of its extenibility , its speed and its evergrowing support for standerds also i love userscripts.
I know opera has userscripts too which look pretty good I havnt really played around with them much but it seems they give the coder more power so that they could fix the pages insted of just adding new fetures to that webpage and kinda fixing them using greasemonkey (a userscript loader for firefox).
I spose what draws me to firefox more than opera is that I can change anything within the browser using extentions, having more controll over my browser.

I like IE6 by far; I think it looks nicer and its right in Windows.  And I prefer its image handling and browsing engine.

My favourite web Browser has to be Mozilla Firefox, merely beause of it's great skinnable interface, it's speed, it's accessability and how user friendly it is.

Firefox, quicker and looks better

I switched to Firefox a few months back to give it a go after hearing good things about it. I would never go back to IE after using it- there is nothing IE has that firefox doesn't, popup blocker is very good, and I like the tabbed browsing a lot.

I do find it to be a bit faster too, yeh.

you can enable copy to clipboard by putting one of the two things bellow into your user.js

To enable for all sites

code:

---

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Clipboard.cutcopy","allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

---

to enable for specific sites

code:

---

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "SitesHere aSpaceDefinesNewSite");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");

Mozilla Firefox by far. I'm not using IE anymore.

My favourite Web Browser would be Opera... Stable, fast, easy to use and very comfortable....

my old favourite web browse are Opera, but now is Netscape ,because is a "fusion"("function") of the firefox and IE
