The Definitive "BEST BROWSER" thread

[bkellner]

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.

It also makes use write correct English. You should try it.

Is that sentence supposed to be correct English? I'm sorry, I beg to differ.

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!

I stick by IE myself. I have tried others, they have their good and bad points.

[xplatinum]

[Spyder Veteran]

oh noes an mxxcon thread in disguise

[jackwanders]

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'?

[Otis]

Ugh another one....

Firefox = #1

Avant = #2

IMO.

Moderators : please make one of these threads about this topic sticky or something so there is no more.

[Apollo]

so... again ?

[cymro]

To all of those who have voted for MSIE I understand.. but try MYIE2, you'll find it hard to go back once you've use it.. starting at tabs and ending in groups and skinning.. if you're an IE user, use MYIE.. it's better

[krmathis]

Please make this browser polls stop! :angry:

Anyway: Opera is by far the best browser out there!

Solaris
