I loved IE at first till it kept on crashing all the time. Now I prefer firefox, athough I still use both.
I've tried Google Chrome but I keep coming back to Firefox.
Firefox is the best, and I couldn't live without it.
Not using Firefox would be like...going to work without wearing a pair of pants!
I've checked them ALL before I decided to live with Opera.
it's the best. the fastest. the most secure. it gets the highest score in every test.
it has everything I need and.. that's more than enough..
DarkSaibot v.1.3.10

depends on what and how you will use the browser , and on wich web site's..
right now i have firefox ..for a long time..it's more stable...but no browser has been fully satisfied me until now
Firefox and Google Chrome.
firefox=stable and secure;
chrome=fast and nice
Firefox because is fast and also for its many add ons and themes

Firefox, only because of noscript.
Opera. Been using it since 2006.

Using Opera at the moment and have been using it since 2003 since the paid versions with cracks/keygens. Back then, it was the only browser that worked decently with dial-up connections.
I'm using Firefox mostly because of its addons...
And it runs quite stable also I had some problems with the new version(3.6) because it wasn't compatible with an addon...
And it runs quite stable also I had some problems with the new version(3.6) because it wasn't compatible with an addon...
You can make some addons "compatible" by editing the XPI files, but this doesn't always work.
Firefox. Have been using opera for years, but decided to drop it.
Extensions ftw. Mr techs toolkit can bump version for those extensions that don't work with newest firefox, and so can nightly tester tools. Of course this isn't useful for extensions that actually get broken with new firefox, but majority doesn't.
Firefox has completely replaced IE for me, and Google Chrome is kind of like my sports car of browsers, since it is noticeably faster than Firefox for me.
Firefox is has been my default browser for many years now. I just dont understand those people who keep using IE ever tho they know a better browser like firefox is out there.
I've been using mostly Chrome latest version lately. Sometimes due to some incompatibility issues I go for Firefox 2 and Opera.
Right now firefox is losing terrain.Chrome and Opera are going head to head in the browser battle.
I think chrome will win kuz of the extensions that are a +1 to every browser.

Google encourages ppl to use their browser and then they collect more info on us so they can make ad sales from us. i bet even if you had the option to turn off data collection they still would do it somehow.
FF FTW
When will you guys learn windoze is doin the same thing to ya:tongue:

nice post,
so i answer your question with a question:
why are sure Linux isn't stealing/collecting your info too?
[ps: i use linux a little, so not anti-linux]
Lol that's a good one...not:
Linux distributions are free and open-source
That should clear it..
I don't care about it
I'm not paronoid
Firefox FTW:biggrin:
@sbfreak: yes a well known info,
if you want to be sure, you need to compile Linux yourself which is very complicated.
you get the binaries right? you can't be sure they have not injected something here or there?
There are over a billion hackers in this world.If something was wrong with linux someone would have said"Hey noobs switch back to windoze,linux know what pron ur watchin:tongue:"
very logical :biggrin:
ok i'll install linux now since windoz 7[as you say] ate 15GB of my HD.
oh and on-topic, i've been using Firefox since version 1.0 on my dial up, and i'll continue using it forever, i'll write in my Will, "Use Firefox" :biggrin:
Lol I have nothing against firefox.It's a great browser.Right now I'm using it.I just don't like the fact that people say chrome steals private data without some REAL proof..
the client ID isn't enough :tongue: ?

i hate Safari its damn slow and stupid, and mainly because i'm anti-apple :D
i tried a hackintosh but it didn't work correctly on my pc so i had to return back to:

Explain yourself.
It's just a thought that came through my mind when I suddenly remembered how bandits were captured in western movies.
Remember those posters with "WANTED" a picture of the criminal and a reward??
You being the most paranoid will be the only one alive:tongue: and google will hunt you day and night.
Firefox. It has lots of add-ons.
Though it's said Chrome is the fastest,I don't use it mainly because Google likes to collect information or privacy as usual through backdoor.

Firefox for my pc and opera mini on my mobile :smile:
Simply FireFox , as its not crap its FireFox
I've always liked firefox because of the extension community. I would try Chrome more but there isn't the same level of support.
Personaly I use now Chrome 'cause it is fast and stable and there is extensions now.I don't really like firefox it has always been slow for me.I really love Opera too witch I was using for years but there is only one thing that really annoys me it the personal bar not working like the bookmark bar of others browser.You can't middle click on a link if it is in a folder in personal bar.Oh and I have lot of issues with gmail and google docs right now with opera (only since v10).
So I use chrome and wait for Opera to correct this 2 points to switch
What about Netscape??
The first web browser
I think the last released version of the real Netscape doesn't even know what CSS is. :dry:
The newer ones are based on old Firefox cores, if I remember correctly...

Yes they used the old Mozilla code,but I'm not sure if people is still using it
the last netscape was 9.0.0.6 based on firefox 2.0.0.12.
it was fast and had some extra options that the moziila guys took out after 1.5 for whatever reason.

19.02.10, 01:49
netscape, good ol netscape. that was my first browser but then came MSIE and now FF.
When I used the revamped netscape a year ago idk but for me it felt bloated. But that doesnt matter anymore as its no longer supported.
Official End of Support
Given AOL's current business focus and the success the Mozilla Foundation has had in developing critically-acclaimed products, we feel it's the right time to end development of Netscape branded software. Read the history page for more details about this decision.

AOL just didnt use its potential
netscape was always SHIT.
slow and buggy lol
OPERA TILL I DIE even if the rest are better :biggrin:
OPERA TILL I DIE even if the rest are better :biggrin:
Makes no sense:rolling_eyes:.Why would you use a browser that's not better than the other in your opinion??:huh:
I don't know. I think I take it too personally.
it's like my soccer team.. even if they suck and they lose I still love my team LOL
bad comparison I know..
also by saying "even if the rest are better" I was referring to even if the rest will be better in the future I'll stick with Opera cause so far they aren't.
Firefox.......
IE - Never ever.... please spare me
Netscape.... wow, that was long ago
Rest - we even bother, when I have my Foxy
firefox has cool addons but crashes if ur low on memory
opera is pretty good all round

FF should be good for all here !!
firefox is going good for me
Firefox is better than everyone in my opinion .
now when Opera 10.50 released it's definitely the fastest and with highest performance.
this whole Private Tab idea is revolutionary! feels a lot better too..
saebrtooth
08.03.10, 09:45
Private tab, if its anything like FF's Private browsing but for only one tab, now thats a very good idea
Chrome also has that option.On the forums they call it porn mode:tongue:(incognito mode)
They should call it porn/sbi mode, since I use it mostly for sbi since anon scared me with that css exploit.

I think chrome's alright.You're just too accommodated with Firefox:wink:
chrome with all the spy crap is wrong by default. iron might be an alternative if one would want to get rid of ff for some reason
Iron needs more active developing plus it's kinda unstable.
And yes google knows what you're doing right now.

I'm not sure if Chrome has also such a huge collection of addons (compared to FF), but even if i want to change through another browser there are too much important plugins which i need.
Example: Multi Links PLugin, for multiple Link opening <-- Very Helpful if you get tired clicking all links one by one.
For speed purposes I prefer opera and his turbo function, this is especially good when you're downloading and you dont have much bandwidht left.

Turbo is a very nice plus, but it's essentially using a proxy and carries the risks associated with doing so at certain trackers/sites. Handle with care.

i have tried all well known and some not so known browsers and i think i will be stuck with firefox for quite some time now.
Im on Mac, Ive tried them all, and I find Safari to be the best. although I do need a few plugins to make it play nicer with the internet.
Safari Cookies, Safari AdBlocker, Glims, GreaseKit,and ClicktoFlash.

Believe me I had the same dilemma when moving to chrome.
Soon most firefox extensions will be available for chrome too.
Right now I'm waiting for noscript.
If the low image quality caused by the Opera servers isn't enough proof, go to IP.cc and do their anonymity test. Turbo is a proxy, but it's not an elite one - your real address is still sent. So I'd recommend using a separate instance for the "normal" sites you want to accelerate only.

I'm sure it's been said already, but Chrome looks freaakin nice...
But I still use Mozilla :biggrin:
the last netscape was 9.0.0.6 based on firefox 2.0.0.12.

Yes, I use it sometimes. Many FF addons are working with it.
And I like the splash screen, too.
Recently I even though to return further in the past, and tried to use Mosaic.
But install process failed (Mosaic is for 16 bits OS).
Is there some trick to simulate a 16 bits OS with a 32 bits XP one?
Or maybe have I to use a VM, instal windows 3.11 in it, and then Mosaic ???
If you can get me a link to the Mosaic installer I'll give it a try.
In the meantime, it could be a Linux system you have to install in the VM instead, have a look at this:

Ps: The installer works, Mosaic can be started, it can connect to my router, but it crashes when trying to connect to SBI, and even to google.
Edit:
Even with a site as simple as goosh.org - the unofficial google shell. (http://www.goosh.org), Mosaic doesn't work (although it doesn't crashes this time).
So no more webmaster in the world are thinking to poor Mosaic users ?? :mad:

Imho, Firefox has more addons than IE, Safari or Chrome will ever have.
The downside is that you better have a good cpu for a good browsing experience, especially if you're a +10-Tabs-User. :wink:

The downside is that you better have a good cpu for a good browsing experience, especially if you're a +10-Tabs-User. :wink:
As well as RAM, and that seems to apply for all browsers nowadays... when you open as many tabs as I usually do, memory usage climbs to not less than 100-200MB. Chrome is most affected by this, opening a process for each tab.
tokiodrift1
19.03.10, 20:09
True, I remember a time when I didn't even know what a tab is and I had to open a new window for multi-tasking-browsing.
Nowadays it's a important function which was originally invented by mozilla and copied by others.
I saw that there are a lots of features, which were first implemented in the Firefox as a feature or additional addon.
But all the good stuff about FF has also a negative point of view:
The more people are using FF, the more hackers try to find exploits for such a browser.
As there is a unwritten law, that the demand controls the mass of released exploits.
In some countries FF is now the most-used browser, (instead of the IE).
Greetz.

I see this mass hacking of FF as a good thing not a negative, the more flaws they find the more fixes for FF the better FF will evolve.
Look at MS Windows masses of people use it, masses of hacker try to exploit it, Windows just gets better and better with each edition.
pardon me, with the exception of Vista, on a user friendly point of view it was shit

I've changed to Chrome recently because of a bug affecting IE and Firefox.
All google search results are redirected to an ad. website (due to a bug in the computer), i couldn't solve problem by whatever method i use. Chrome isn't affected by this bug and besides, it seems to be much faster than IE.

You should do a malware scan.
By the way, avoid misusing bold text in posts, they're already readable.
I use Firefox.Mostly because of all his add-on. And new version keep getting better.
Firefox because you can create your own personalised web browser and there are so much add-ons out there that makes life easier!

I finally got to try this out and it's the same as with you... Mosaic crashes the second pages begin loading, even under compatibility mode and will almost everything disabled. :dabs:
Firefox it's secure, but Chrome it's faster. :)
mozila Firefox is the best for me.
firefox with ABP addon is the best browser in my view,It reduces shitty adds for safe browsing.
Yeah, ABP rules, as do extensions in general. That's whats so great about FF. How customizable it is.
Use firefox for it's plugins and security.
chrome for it's speed.
Firefox, it has good features, more stable than internet explorer.

switched to Firefox since v0.8 and never looked back. tried Google Chrome for a while and uninstalled.
Now I like Chrome a bit more than firefox :wthink:
Ive used the fox trough my almost whole "internet life", but maybe its time to move on to something new...chrome or smt
Whatever you do, don't try the latest Opera. Its stability is only second to that of a nitroglycerin jar during an earthquake. I can't tell you to stick to 10.63 (which hasn't crashed at all since I downgraded), because it's old. Oh, lost greatness...
My suggestion would be either Chrome or IE9. Their respective developer teams did things right.
Chrome is what you are looking for. It will be better than firefox in no time, if not already.
If you want chrome just use chromium daily builds and your internet life will be a lot more faster.So fast it will sometime crash :lol:
Index of /f/chromium/snapshots (http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/)
Get SRWare Iron if you must use Chrome. FF is better, so no need to change. If you want both, use the portable versions.
Firefox but I like the new IE 9,its fast too!
All up to date browsers are kinda on par right now.
I use chrome cause i tried it about 2 years ago and I haven't managed to import my stuff back to FF. I'm too lazy.
Opera is fast and full of features but might be considered bloated by many.
Safari is not an alternative browser on the windows platform, and Firefox in progressing steady.
I recommend you tried em all and choose whatever best fits your needs.
As for some thoughts on user experience. I've heard a lot of people complain about Firefox stability but I've never encountered the problems I've had with Chrome on any other browser. I had crashes after crashes, and I've constantly used different versions of it from stable to beta and nightly. I've seen GPU crash from "features" in the browser, CPU hogs from other "features" and on a more frequent basis total program crash (forking at it's best) with no way to recover open tabs.
Maybe others have had a better experience but at the end of the day it really disappoints me from time to time, but i really don't have the guts to import everything back to FF. I still use Firefox but just for development and testing.
Almost forgot, IE has done a nice job in the last version too.
I use Camino now :stupid: because I'm temporarily with a old Apple ibook g4... It's cool! :smile:
Back with an update. A lot of people are dissing on Firefox as being slow, but after testing the latest nightly version I can say that not only it starts faster, but it has beaten chrome nightly in the javascript tests. It's not by much and by the time they launch the stable or aurora version the two browsers might be on the same level but it's good to see that everything is going smoothly in the firefox world. And btw, firefox is getting the x64 version a lot of people wanted for a long time
I use firefox ! but it is slow ... :eek13:
but I tried opera & chrome but I always come back to Firefox ! (Chrome crash every time I open it !!)
i am using chrome and IE9 they been good.
firefox is kind of slow,
opera sometimes crashes for sometime on my pc.
For the last couple of years Firefox was great in many aspects, then they started releasing new versions every month, I think from that point Firefox team started sending some seriously buggy versions, I had issues with antivirus until I switched to a different brand, this is good on the other hand, Firefox has more updates for its security problems, in IE you have to wait M$ to decide to update IE and they sure take their time.
IE9 is faster than before, a lot faster, but full of hidden secrets since the day it was born, I don't trust this browser, when I clean your history or cash, I never feel secure.
From compatibility point of view, IE = FF in my experience, I mean 2 years ago you had sites not working with FF but working with IE, now you have sites wanting FF.
I like FF for its addons and advanced options, I wish IE had the same addons.
I use both IE and FF.
Other browsers, I once used Chrome and it used a huge amount of RAM on XP so I ditched it at once, also I find its options very limited and it keeps calling home for no reason.
A question to you guys, if you had IE and FF open for like a whole day with like 10 tabs each, how much RAM would they both use , I think I once saw them using 1-2 GB RAM :confused:
opera is the best for me then chrome
FF because of the customizability
I used IE, Firefox and Chrome..
After some test(did it by myself) I relize Firefox can use to secure browsing And Chrome Fast Browsing....
So i decide to keep Chrome And Firefox myself..
I heard Some friends of my tald that Opera is the best browser in the world but i didn't checked it yet by myself...
IE is stupid, but works...
Chrome is best for dummies, little options...
Opera is good but lacks extensions...
Firefox is fast enough for me and best because I can adjust it to myself, don't need to adjust myself to IT.
I've been using FF for a long time and have grown accustomed to it's addons. And it's such that even when I'm using other browsers which may be faster than FF, it feels lacking in terms of what FF can do.
I haven't looked back since switching to Firefox. Via addons, you can do odd stuff like blocking redirects based on regular expressions or adding and editing every aspect of cookies, which is difficult if not impossible to do on other browsers.
Decreasing UI speed over time gave me some grief at first, but I managed to trace the source of such problems (leaky addons) and it's working fine now. It is slower than Opera or Chrome, but not terribly so, and the Mozilla guys are working to get speed on par with those. Firefox 15 will be released on late August and is said to bring significant performance boosts.
To the average Joe I'd actually recommend Opera or Chrome though :wtongue:
just installed FF 14 and after scrolling through many pages, I realized now it just feels as if I'm using Opera. Scrolling the pages below is absolutely the same OMG!
Been using chrome its fast - minimalistic GUI, makes browsing easier - small download, fast install - lots of add-ons ....
Google chrome but older version like 17 or 16, the new 20 is very heavy (too much) from to resources more ram cpu , and much slower load pages which in the past with same connection speed same pc and older version of google chrome load faster. No response from google last time i checked, some says that it is google sync. account function that slows down the browsers, but when disconnect it from acc, no much difference so stick to the old:)

Why is that?
Why is that?
As of this writing, they're both faster than Firefox, and have anything people who use the Internet just for e-mail, Facebook, Google Docs, etc. would need.
Been sticking with Opera since ver 9. Anyway, I use FF occasionally.

That is true I find. In having all those customizations that people like to have in FF, even with Opera and Chrome having extensions as well, FF is still a bit slower. The extensions just seem to be more taxing on this browser than the others.
