Are these improvements/updats to the prevoius version, or is it brand new (like Netscape 7 was)?

-dt-:
I cares :p!
My website gets not a lot of hits, and most of the time people access it from school where it is always IE on XP with SP two, and I havn't got tracking on my website anymore. Besides, I didn't want to see how often a browser is used, but what people at this forum prefer, and people at this forum most likely don't represent most others, they are probably more l33t, and they have other influences on browser choice.
RE: Web Browsers by L. Coyote on 10-03-2005 at 11:41 AM

Firefox 1.0.7 is my main browser.

Testing browsers: IE6SP1, Opera 8.5


RE: Web Browsers by [MR] on 10-03-2005 at 11:42 AM

I use Camino at work


RE: Web Browsers by rav0 on 10-04-2005 at 12:45 AM

This isn't an "advertise your fav browser" thread. If your browser has already been said, please don't "second" it. Only mention a browser if you use it and it hasnt been added already.

If you read the first post, I only want a list of browsers, and the list will go into a poll.

I'm going to collect all the new browser names mentioned and incorporate them into the first post to make it easier now.

Update:
The browsers given so far are now in the first post (I think). If you've already posted, and want to add more, make a new reply instead of editing your old post, because I'll think I already looked at it.


RE: Web Browsers by Supersonicdarky on 10-04-2005 at 01:41 AM

RE: Web Browsers by ddunk on 10-04-2005 at 03:09 AM

You people suck for not mentioning Lynx.

btw, max poll options is 10.


RE: Web Browsers by rav0 on 10-04-2005 at 03:14 AM

Lynx added.

RE: Web Browsers by Purity on 10-04-2005 at 03:17 AM

I use Maxthon and Firefox, both.


RE: Web Browsers by rav0 on 10-04-2005 at 03:18 AM

They are already in the list.


RE: Web Browsers by albert on 10-04-2005 at 03:23 AM

woah, as much as ppl complain about this thead being stupid, I could use the browsers listing for me next research.. thank you :)

Oh and btw.. I have FF, Opera and IE installed. I usually run on IE, but use FF and Opera just to check if my websites look good in others lol


RE: Web Browsers by ibisdevil2 on 10-05-2005 at 04:32 PM

I once installed Firefox on my moms pc, but she refused to use it because it's for "computer specialists". 8-)
A few weeks after that, she got some dodgy spyware and IE refused to boot, so she HAD to use firefox...
I removed the spyware, but she still uses Firefox and she likes it :banana:
And my dad doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, so he doesn't use firefox. :p
RE: Web Browsers by emit on 10-05-2005 at 07:56 PM

Installed? Opera, FireFox, IE, Lynx, Maxthon, Netscape. All the latest. Ones I use? Opera pretty much all the time and IE from time to time.

If you don't care, go away. No one forces you to read the threads on these forums and no one forces you to reply. The mere fact you're replying proves that you do care. Just like you're making it seem like rav0's opinion matters little, I think your opinion doesn't matter at all. You are merely one person amongst a large community - not even considered a minority.

I'm not flaming - but people like you piss me off. Learn this quick and learn this well: If you don't like something someone posts, don't reply, don't even read it.

You're spamming and that pisses me of too.
RE: Web Browsers by L0Lz on 10-18-2005 at 07:37 PM

i think if you choose a browser for its security above other features, IMO the one that is not widely used would be more secure cuz no one wants to make a hack for browsers that only few use unless that person really got nothing to do for a living, that's what i would think of it should i have to choose a fav browser.


RE: Web Browsers by Nathan on 10-18-2005 at 09:01 PM

In my opinion you dont need a good security browser if you have a decent firewall, in my case 3 firewalls.
As long as the browser does as I want it to do I'm happy.
But obviosly if it's got a decent security rating its an extra :P So not complaining.
Oh and yer I tried to get my mum to use firefox she goes "Dont like it, its not the same as IE6" So I reckon she's set in her old ways :P


RE: Web Browsers by mwe99 on 10-18-2005 at 09:22 PM


Firefox
MSN Explorer
IE 6

depends on my mood :P

There have been so many polls/threads about what browser we all use why not just read previous threads. BTW I use firefox 1.6a

RE: Web Browsers by myrtle on 10-19-2005 at 11:42 PM

I am currently using Firefox but I'm planning to give Opera a try.


RE: Web Browsers by afunnyman on 10-23-2005 at 10:49 AM

IE6SP1, Opera 8.5


RE: Web Browsers by fishybobbins on 10-23-2005 at 11:15 AM

I use Firefox.  I did use opera but firefox is faster.


RE: Web Browsers by segosa on 10-23-2005 at 05:18 PM

I used to use Firefox, but I can't now, so I use Opera. My 10 year old sister, my parents and my Grandad all use Firefox.


RE: Web Browsers by D:Frag on 10-24-2005 at 03:29 AM

I'm using Opera because of it's features... I like the new page button and it remembers the last opened tabs, that way you can continue reading the last post in the forum or somewhere else :)

I've experienced some issues, like finding special plug-ins and some temporary random freezes (about 1 sec), but nothing much to make me go back to IE :)


RE: Web Browsers by SikStyles on 10-24-2005 at 03:40 AM

Im a firefox user and im happy with it, i like the service much more than IE's

Firefox users we need to get FF to the top!! :P


RE: Web Browsers by EvilSeph on 10-25-2005 at 03:27 AM

Just a little correction, rav0:

Groove is not a gecko-based browser. Infact, I wouldn't consider a browser at all. It is so much more. Google it, it may interest you. :)

Thank you, I've now fixed that up. To save having to rewrite the myCode I copy and pasted the last line in the list, and then edited it, I must have made a mistake while editing.
RE: Web Browsers by rix on 10-25-2005 at 10:12 AM

Firefox 1.0.6...hey, but shouldn't there be a thread like this already? 8-)


RE: Web Browsers by linx05 on 10-25-2005 at 10:32 AM

Everyone is now quoting what browser they use. They should read the first post so they know what to actually do.


RE: Web Browsers by rix on 10-25-2005 at 10:49 AM

You can include options by popularity, which you already can see here. Now I don't see any point making poll anymore :p


RE: Web Browsers by rav0 on 10-25-2005 at 10:51 AM

I wont be using the list in a poll for some time, and not at this forum when I do, but I don't know where I might.

Now I just want a list because it is already started, and other people have said that they may use this list.

doesn anyone know a better webbrouser other than Opera or Firefox?


RE: Web Browsers by rav0 on 10-26-2005 at 12:18 AM

Internet Explorer 7?

You could always make your own if you wanted, or just steal some Mozilla code and improve that :p.
