Firefox! Very Happy

MSN Explorer,Firefox or Opera

don't use IE,What crap,and their going to launch a new version of IE soon :O i bet no one downloads it,because i think it will be the same crap as the orginal

FireFox and Opera both got Ads but they do the trick to block Ads

MSN Explorer is good if you wanna keep track of your MSN groups and Hotmail Inbox

its a good Browser too

Firefox...definitely firefox.

I can't stand IE anymore, netscape sucks, MyIE and Avant browser are both based off IE and I hate them too.. Razz

Firefox as it is so reliable and only ever use IE if its the only option, it just dont stop crashing!

coolclay
firefox, because it is the best duh you can get tons of different extensions that do lots of different things, i have one extension that allows me to highlight stuff and then it reads it to me, and another that allows me to write stuff in codes like "sversbk ehyrf" in rot 13 or ..-. .. .-. . ..-. --- -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... in morse code. It is also the most secure by far this
http://secunia.com/product/4227/ is the security of Firefox, this http://secunia.com/product/11/ is the security rating of Internet Explorer. See the difference?

i use maxthon.

Firefox & Opera for all my daily usage.

Firefox all the way!

My Theme is Noia Extreme

Extensions:
Greasemonkey

FireTune
Tabbed Browser Preferences (very good!)
ieview (for those stupid ActiveX pages)

As to the person that asked if we make our own browsers in Visual Basic, it is pretty pointless because it runs on IE's core without all the extra good features, and it has all the bad.

I think Microsoft Internet Explorer is one of the worst browsers... I hate it... It's a stupid and unnecessary program ! It always comes with very big sizes (and also sevice packs...) But some people still like it ! Nice !

I usually use Mozilla Firefox... I think it easy and secure... Opera and Netscape are very nice like Firefox, too... But I like Firefox much more.

I don't like Windows Media Player: Microsoft supports only own video and audio formats... Evil or Very Mad Of course with a lot of errors ! I use VLC Media Player (Video Lan). It has great feauters and supports most of video and audio formats. Espacially, streaming media with VLC is great !

I was always a fan of IE, then Mozilla came out and changed my whole mindset on web browsing. It is more streamlined and has featured that make sense and are easy to use.

Then Firefox came out and made me realize that, yes, Mozilla was wonderful, it is a tad too bulky for my browing needs. Besides, Firefox is on the same engine as Mozilla, so in the end all is well.

It depends on what kind of site you take the statistics from. If it is something like a tech guru site (people who know what they are talking about) IE might have less than 50%, but on mainstream sites it usually hovers around 88-95%.

This is from CNET:

OneStat.com, an Amsterdam, Netherlands-based provider of Web traffic measurement services, said that according to numbers gleaned from 2 million Web surfers around the world, the Mozilla Foundation's new Firefox releases appear to be cutting into Microsoft's still commanding lead in the browser market.
...
OneStat's statistics, based on the Web surfers' activity in 100 countries, showed that IE's market share slipped to 88.9 percent in the third week of November, down 5 percentage points from its share in May.

Well I was hoping to run a poll to see what the browser usage levels really are for people that frequent this forum. I guess that is not allowed.
charliehk
Why? Question
What do you mean by usage levels?

Here's my personal opinion:
I don't think that will not be allowed unless you are collecting personal data from the forum members.

Just ask the site admin or mod!

I like to use Internet Explorer with With SP2 and all the Update Patches. Firstly the advantage of this is that I can complete protect my explorer, from hacks (i think! Wink ) But net ways, i can also use mozilla firefox, and netscape but i definitely like explorer from them. Without SP2 explorer is like an open door to hackers! i think!

Or, you could just read this thread to get a general idea of the percentages. Seriously, it's not that big of a deal. We definitely don't need any more threads or polls on the subject when we already have one.

Of course it depends what you are doing in your browser at the moment you take the measurement. For example, I usually have 20 or so tabs open, at this moment I have over 200 unread RSS feed messages and near 10,000 read ones, some of which opera stores in memory for fast access. Not to mention all my mail, plus some IRC rooms that have been opened for a few days. (Yes, opera can do all the natively, but that's not the point.) As of now, it's using 111,744 K memory, which is a lot, but can be expected.
SamiTheBerber
I use Firefox because it is good and fast. Internet Explorer is just crap that sucks spyware, trojans and etc. When I used Windows I used Avant Browser, which is better client from IE from Mozilla. I have also Opera because I must look webpages from all browsers to get better look from those. Tabbed browsing RuleZ, IE Sucks ...

Firefox rox. Ctrl+t is pretty sweet.

I use firefox. I really like it. I get hardly any popups, and its pretty fast. I have to use IE sometimes though, cause sometire firefox jsut cant do the things IE can. some sites are bulit specdially for IE, so thats the only reason i keep IE on there. LOVE the ctl t stuff as well. I like that i can do that instead of losing my page or starting a new window. THe only problem i have with firefox is that when it pops up that screen asking for your opinon and i hit cancel it malfuntions and shuts everythoing out.

i think firefox is the best b/c everything always look the way it was intended to look. I also use Opera and avantbrowser rarly.

Waiting for IE 7-should be interesting
jczer68
Firefox all the way!! Been using it exclusively since last september (2004). Tried using Avant for about a month prior to switching to FF, was kinda nice until I realized it was pretty much vulnerable to most, if not all, IE security flaws since it's basically an "IE-skin" with lot of bells and whistles. Anyways, Firefox has been plenty good to me and hasn't let me down so far, but it's not entirely without faults either.

Won't touch IE again because (1)Bad history of security problems, (2)Crappy MS policies and practices that lead to all the security holes while they had the browser monopoly, and their willingness to do it again if given the opportuny (3)Microsoft dominance of the browser market, among other things, needs to end.... permanently. Even if IE7 is the best thing to come out and is very secure, it's probably best to stay away from it, otherwise history will just repeat itself.

And you forgot that crappy IE(and shells like Avant) can't display PNG files with alpha transparancy.

No kids, using an IE shell does not make surfing much better then with IE itself.

That's what we've been trying to do. This should be the only one that isn't locked, if we haven't skipped one by, which is very possible. So I guess you could easily say that this is the official one. If you see any others that are open, let a mod know and they'll close them up.

I use IE, Firefox, and Slimbrowser. I like firefox mostly because it's fast and reliable and I use Slimbrowser for the tabbed browsing. I hurd Firefox has tabbed browsing, but I could never figure it out so I'm not sure and if anyone can tell me how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated.
jczer68
You can control-click a link to open the link in a new tab. (shift clicking for new window). Or you can right click the link and select "open in new tab" from the context menu. Or you can middle click the link. Or you can rightclick on the toolbar, customize it and add the new tab/new window buttons to the toolbar. Or you can drag a link to the empty space on the tab bar (not sure if an extension is required for this). There is no shortage of ways in which you can access and launch new tabs in Firefox... via options and extensions in addition to what I've already mentioned. Extensions that can help you out include various mouse gesturing extensions, SuperDragAndGo, TabMix, and many others.

BlackSkad
Most of the time I use FireFox. It's one of the fastest and safest browsers.
But as webmaster, you have to realise that there are people out there who are still using IE or another browser, like Opera. And because most of the browsers don't display everything in the same way, I'm sometimes forced to use IE and Opera to see how my site looks.
Tirtha
i generally use mozilla, and on other computers we use in internet caffe i have firefox. for sure its way better than IE but the fact all browsers don't display web pages same way is just frustrating. and it forces us to use IE sometimes.

Internet Explorer? I don't know how many times that browser crashed on my computer (reasons unknown). When i heard about firefox, i grabbed it and it's being 4 months now and not a single crash (not responding crap). Opera is nice but i hate the banner ads.

I use firefox, because it is way safer then internet explorer for two reasons.

1. doesnt use activeX which is often exploited by hackers and viruses to gain access to ur computer
2. most viruses are made for internet explorer (because of the larger amount of people who use it)

i use internet explorer once in a wihle for the sites that firefox doesnt support but thats it
aNaLis
I use Firefox, it is just so much better against pop-ups and unwanted toolbars, i mean if you install IE, after 2 hours browsing, u r almost sure u get either the yahoo toolbar or some other toolbar you won't get away easily.

anyway, if a toolbar was installed on your computer and you can't get it away try this program:

I use Firefox, very nice, very convenient especially the use of extensions, hope they can fix the memory issues though
Antoine_935
I use Firefox, because I'm under linux.
but, with the extensions, I think Firefox is better than other browsers like Maxthon.
I use some cool extensions, like sessionsaver, which allows you to conserv opened pages, even if you close the browser.
I use adblock too, which blocks any unwanted content.

IE is the easyest!

but the less effective... it doens't respect the web's standards, he doesn't recognise png's transparency, he doesn't accept favicons in other format than .ico...

Well I am using IE and mozilla fire fox. But I used to stick to fire fox. Because it is simply the best browser in the world. I have used many browsers such as opera, Fast stone etc but fire is the best.

I have had my browser changed many times in the recent times.

I used Maxthon, firefox and now am using Opera.

Maxton is really good but has one little problem. It uses IE engine Surprised

Firefox with its increasing security patches is getting rally heavy for my pc which is really low on resources

These dayz Opera seems just right for me.Its fast lite and quick

Currently for me Opera Rulz

I agree! Very Happy

I mostly use Opera (registered version) - it's a fantastic browser, but sometimes I use Firefox. The nice thing about Firefox is that it's got a lot of plugins - for the weather, to play MP3's while you surf, and so on. But Opera is small, clean, and powerful - I love it!

The latest version has voice commands now, which is great too. I reckon telling your browser to go back or open a new window is cool - much better than keypresses or clicking with the mouse!

On the rare occassion when I'm forced to use IE, I generally use Maxthon instead. Recently I discovered Deepnet Explorer, which has tabs like Maxthon, but also has an RSS reader and P2P Client built in. But Maxthon, like Firefox, has lot's of nice plugins!
otiscom
Put Maxthon in your list!

I switched to FF like a year ago (from IE) and I'm not going back. IE is only good for testing my site because other people will see it in IE.

Firefox is better than anything Microsoft could crank out of their headquaters!Very Happy

I'm using Firefox, all I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms, IE is very unnecessary, it can only do harm ...

Firefox is great because of its improved security.
But I use internet explorer because it has compatibility.

If you viewed my old site with firefox. it was just ugly. But maybey
I shouldn't have put word-arts in it.

I love firefox not just for it's accurate renderer, security features and it's tabbing. (Not to mention RSS, a built-in search bar and it's spyware avoiding ways.) But also for it's extendablity and oft overlooked web developing features.
Antoine_935
I use Firefox.
I know, I'm under linux... but even under windows I use FF Smile
FF is better, faster... and moreover, IE does not respect the web standards Sad
gecko
Also Firefox. Tried Opera but it doesn't suit me. Both are very good. I use IE only for Windows Update and for pages that doesn't run under FF (unfortunatelly still there are...)
Antoine_935
yes, there are some bad scripted pages who don't work under browsers who respect standards. Some of these pages were created with frontpage Sad
jlbribeiro
I prefer IE, because it comes with windows xp, I know ALL the others are safer, but I'm used to IE.
dinja
I use Firefox. I think it's the best. Opera is also a good one. but i'm used to Firefox. I use Firefox because Ie don't want to start.
guitarstud101
I've never had a problem with regular ol' windows Internet Explorer, so I've had no reason to change. I really had no idea how many people use Mozilla!!
Simulator
I use the best one out there Firefox, nice to see that 71%(atop) use it
orcaz
I use Firefox. I feel that Firefox is the best browser currently, as it is quite secure. It provides 256 bit encryption, while IE only provides up to 128 bit. It is much faster with Gecko too.
samh
I use Firefox with some extensions.
Opera is probobly as good and maybe faster. But not freeware.
Internet Explorer is very prone to attacks and lacks very important features like Tab browsing.
IE 7 beta is supposed to address these issues but I'm still evaluating this.

How do you get IE 7? I haven't even get to see the icon yet!

I used Opera for a long time, but then moved to Firefox for two reasons: cost and customizability.

I also use maxthon for its tabbed interface because my corporate website works well only in ie Sad

Firefox is your best bet on a browser. Not only is it much more efficient-you get basically no frills when you download it and you add features if you want them-but it's much more secure than Internet Explorer. It's also much faster. Opera is not as desirable because it's much less compatible with websites in general than Firefox, but it is speedier.
orcaz
Firefox is much better than IE 6 currently. It lets you view pages more quickly and safely.
bigdan
I use Firefox 95% of the time, I only use IE for some sites that aren't workable under Firefox and for a Uni subject (I can't access my server using Firefox)
Kd527
I don't even have IE on this comp! I usually use Safari. Sometimes I use Mozilla Camino. I also have FF and the Mozilla Suite, but I rarely use them since I'm on OS X.

Safari 2 is awesome though. It's extremely fast.
orcaz
The best feature I like about Mozilla Firefox is the tabbed browsing. It reduces the number of windows loaded on your system taskbar, by compiling a number of pages into a window. I heard that IE 7 is going to have that feature too... Anyway, Firefox 1.5 beta is coming out soon... But i won't use it until the full version is released.
panoramicview
Firefox !

Firefox, its loads quicker and when you can get great extensions like adblock your internet speed is even faster. Explorer sux!!

IE6 ofcourse. Its heaps better than Firefox and stuff. They are all copycats of Internet Explorer.
seanooi
actually either browser works for me, dun really see the difference. i just click which ever browser that is near to my pointer, ahahaaha.....
nunosilva
definitly I prefer firefox. Sometimes I use internet explorer because some sites only work on IE and firefox doesn't have nothing to identify it as being IE, and I guess opera does it... so I used to use opera too... but IE sucks!!! for sure!! Firefox is best because of the tabs system, and because of the popup blocker, but sp2 has it now! anyway... FIREFOX Rulles!

thanks for making my day Very Happy
Talk about being ignorent.

As far as i am concerned,i use the safest,fastest&sexiest browser.It is called Opera.


Opera is just unbeatable.

Firefox is also good.Maxthon and Avant are ok.Rest are not really worth mentioning.

Right now I'm using Deer Park Alpha 2 which is the new firefox.

I now use Safari mostly. Sometimes Mozilla Camino.
krazeek
Doesnt safari only come with Apple computers? They lie about how it blocks all of the pop-ups and blocks the viruses and trojans. We have apples for school and we all have gotten numerous trojans and pop-ups using safari and IE for apple works pretty good never gotten a trojan from using IE, but yes some pop-ups. Safari is faster than IE though I do have to say. Sorry Im just rambling on because I am extremely bored and have nothing better to do on this lovely day.

The firefox plugins are really good. If you haven't tried them yet, give'em a try for sure.

I use Firefox now
I used to use IE but my site looked really bad in firefox but in my new version it is fine

I use Internet Explorer ,it' good !
ImpacTV
I just downloaded firefox about 2 and a half weeks ago and I it is far above and beyond the IE browser that i normally use. I am going to have to try some of the other that are on the list. ..

Are there any big standout function that some of the browsers on the list have that is really uniqe to that browser or are they for the most part the same?

I also would like to know if anyone has tried the 2ce browser project that started many years ago. I tried a year and a half ago and it would not work on my systems. So, I have not tried it since.

I THINK Opera is the best for dial up conection...

Mozilla Firefox all the way. Perfect popup blocking (unlike google toolbar), tabbed browsing, RSS feed syndication, and the customizable search bar. No browser even comes close in functionality or ease of use to firefox.

Firefox all the way baby. All of firefoxe's features are pretty much easy to use and can be very customizable and it's seach toolbar thing in the corner is usefull without actually going to a seach engine and looking it up.

Ali,it is more hype than solid reasons.Most of the people here havent even tried any thing other then just Firefox and IE.

Opera was always the smartest browser.Even with extensions firefox cant provide some vital features namely fitting pages to screenwidth,zooming of pages,voice browsing,reading out pages in high quality voices from ibm etc.
And too many extensions complicates things.They make the interface a total mess to work with.FF becmoes slower and clumsier.
