* Weyzza is bored with this kind of thread.
* Weyzza thinks that admins should delete any new "The Best Browser" thread in the future.
* Weyzza thinks that threads like this are pointless.

* Weyzza will try Firefox 1.0 when it is released.

:0  i am shocked at how many people have voted for IE.
It is the worst browser going and is full of security holes.
I voted for Avant Browser but another good browser is Opera except it has ads

Forget it in Firefox 0.9. Remember it's still a beta and even being a beta there are people considering iot better than the old and experienced Opera.
Btw, any bad plugin can be detected since they are open source. If one is detected it's fired from the developement community, at least, the official one.

To Cookie:
You don't need to overreact about this. This kind of threads have always existed. If you feel moody for participating, you do, otherway you just don't open the thread and read. You should also think that there are people who have tested many browsers and can give a valuable opinion about this. Others did decide which was the best by the features. There ARE differences, or are you comparing MSIE with Opera or Firefox?
Appearence: there are differences.
Integration: There are differences.
Customization: There are differences.

If there weren't we wouldn't need to have different browsers.

Saying "I like browser X" or "Browser Y sucks" is not the point of this threads. The point is to show off what you like of your browser and compare it with others. If it turns into a war... well, more information...

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.

----offtopic----
I know there are people who tried a lot of browsers and all, and they are indeed the ones that can compare them in a objective manner. I wasn't ranting against those people; my rant was against the people who don't know better and simple say "my browser is best because it has feature x, y and z and that's why I use it. Oh and btw, I never tried another browser"... And tbh, most people belong to this categorie...

If people would post objective posts instead, then there is no need to defend your own browser because someone is saying something about it. (refering to WDZ's last post)

It's rather simple.
These kinds of topics are interresting because they reveal alot of information about browsers to those who know little about them. Which is exactly the reason why you should talk objectively about a feature. Stating a browser has a feature is interresting but stating it has that feature and because of that, claiming it is the best, is completely and utterly pointless. Because features are subjective, since everybody likes them in a diffrent way, and they are even not comparable. (For example popup killing..) With other words, interresting for those who know how to filter out decent information, but only as a guidance to what they are to expect should they test the browser. A maze to get lost in and be deceived for those who cannot and don't bother to, or aren't as openminded / bright to.
Nobody can say which browser is the best for them after having read the information about it, you need to test them and look at them with openmindedness, use them for a long period and then you can yourself compare them. Any other way leads simply to pointless discussions.

The best example is tabbed browing...

For those people who want to post "Brower x is the best/sucks" they should add "IMO" or "IMPOV". Because it's an opinion. Doing so will avoid people having different opinions to feel annoyed by these comments.

The best comment is:
I like X because of:
A (It's very useful for me, since I am... coder)
B (Y also has it, but I don't like the way it does the same thing)
C (Other browsers don't have this)
D (much requested feature whatsoever)

Even if you haven't used many browsers, you know what you like and what you don't like of those you know. You have the right to express your opinion.

@ two posts above.... exactly what I mean...    blah... Why can't I just post something like that instead of ranting and going around in circles

WTF?
This was getting interesting at least

Well there is like 2 pages of a certain person just throwing a tantrum like a freakin 2 year old would do.....So whats the point of having it opened?
