actually we use firefox, because its fast rendering, makes you able to use themes - extensions etc, gets upgraded more often than IE, is available for multible platforms - i use it on my linux box too, it has tabs and so on.

So STFU with your "your just using it because bla bla".

I chose MyIE2.

- Supports themeability. Only downfall is the tabs, which will be themeable soon

- It can use IE or the Gecko Rendering Engine

- It has tabs, great popup/content filters, url alias, quick search, custom mouse gestures

- More and better features than Firefox

- Updated more than Firefox

- Great plugin support (even supports IE plugins and toolbar extentions)

To me it's a simple decision. It's fast, sleek, customizable and compatible. Moreso than any other browser out there. One thing that always bothered me about Firefox is that it's bare. Not enough common features that should be there. The thing I can't stand about Opera is most of it's features are not very customizable. Plus with MyIE2 you get a familiar enviroment, and it doesn't look out of place on your desktop.

How many more of these POINTLESS favorite browser polls are we going to have??? Why can't the person who wants to make a poll do a search to see if ones already been done...AND THEN DON'T DO IT!

OMG WTF !!!

someone shoot this guy. He must be blinded by his post count or something... Judging by your post count I would have thought you would have searched the board before posting this poll...

sigh :no:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=142798 (and many many others)

Two questions:

1) What in the friggin' hell is up with all these "definitive" threads? The funny part is that if there are a dozen "definitive best browser" threads...are the each definitive, or are none of the definitive?

2) What the hell is a 'definitive browser'?

    • War was livestreamed. Also, learn the meaning of the word "genocide". Populations do not GROW during a genocide. Zionist is not a bad word - it's the belief that Israel should exist. The cat out of the bag is your racist anitsemitism and posting of blood libels, unproven or out of context. Even BBC reported a kid supposedly being killed was a staged photo op, and AP just posted how Hamas is murdering their own people at Shifa Hospital, executing them in cold blood. You would rather lie down with murderers than think any different.
    • Neowin shudders at the many, many posts from users that block their ads
    • I'm from Australia. This posts reeks of a Nigerian scammer.
    • It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.
    • You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.
