The Definitive "BEST BROWSER" thread

[errorarsenal]

i use "my ie" browser

[asy1mpo]

netscape is crap

[freeza]

IE 5.01

[Daybreak]

I use Links!... :devious:

But seriously.. I use IE6.. The one thing IE6 has for me is bookmarks management.. I love managing bookmarks as files..

Oh.. and Mozilla the last I tried ( one of the 0.99+ builds ).. seems to be incredibly slow on Neowin.

mozilla is still a joke- groan...

uncle bill gates ownz me, so does ie

[C@N'T }{1T $}{1]

Opera rawks my socks

[Dazzla Veteran]

In Windows XP:

IE 6 exclusively

In Mac OS X:

Mozilla

Chimera

Omniweb

IE 5.1

This is due to:

1. IE 6 on XP being virtually flawless (ignore all the security rubbish :D)
   
2. Most of my web design taking place in OS X now so I want to test on different browsers
   
3. not one outstanding browser on OS X (I'm just praying MS taked mercy and releases IE 6 for OS X)

well for a piece of software that's been in develpoment for only a year (remember, IE's been around for a LONG time), is open source, is developed by the PUBLIC (you can program for moz if you want), and renders things right, it's FAR from a joke...

mozilla, and the gecko engine are to slow and clunky.

they don't run javascript worth crap either. slower then water going uphill.

opera, nice banners :p

msie is pretty good. has lots of problems, but still i'd choose it compared to the rest.

Opera verion 6.x because it is fast and Customisable. Sometimes it crashes but rarely and is nearly W3C complient.

Crazy browser if a web page is poorly designed thus it shows poorly in Opera, funnily enough it is always the Microsoft website :D, and that it is unviewable in Opera, like MSN Chat (rarely go on it now) and Windows Update.

Both are great as with power to you but I find that Crazy browser is so slow to load up pages initially but it is bearable.

actually, i'm trying out Mozilla now. So far, it's great. I'm close to becoming a convert...:D. It's quite fast and web pages are rendered perfectly so far. No major bugs, some minor ones. Only Neowin is slow at times but not always. Any other sites, it's blazingly fast. This is coming from a guy who loves Opera.

I use IE6 the one and only

Example ? All the javascripts I run into are fine, the gecko engine is not slow and clunky, where did you learn that from

[adam2001]

IE6 for me. Its the only browser that you know will load up web pages correctly 99% of the time. If i had my way id blow Mozilla and Gecko of the face of the earth with a nuclear coded bombshell.

Dont MS learn if they want total browser market dominance they should open source Internet Explorers engine thing to developers who will more than likely improve it way beyond what MS could achieve.

[KnifeFace]

IE 6.0.2600.0000 for me

[aleni]

looks like IE based browsers are dominating the poll :cool:

[Blackwar]

yup.. Ms is taking over the place again.. although it is because almost all websites nowadays are designed to show -correctly- in IE which made up its own standards (as always) .. Mozilla is the most W3C standards compliant but still doesn't show some pages correctly because they were designed for IE.. if everyone would just stick to the standards coding, Mozilla would be king tho

hrmm it supports flash and all that stuff.. including java, windows media player, flash, shockwave.. anything you can think of.. Just go to the macromedia website and download the netscape version of the plugin :D

[MulletRobZ]

I used to be a real Netscape fan, but now that I realize Netscape might not have a hope in heck, my new favourite is Mozilla! I can now use all the Netscape plugins using Mozilla, speed is the same as in Netscape 6.2.2 (2 - 3? faster than IE:pp) , there's less bugs, and the only thing that separates IE from Mozilla is ActiveX! Which is not a necessity, of course!:DD

Do stay cool and ditch that darned Internet Explorer! Mozilla owns this world now!
