IE7.0 RTM vs Firefox 2.0/1.5 & Opera


Recommended Posts

Opera

Seems more customizable than FF and IE, and follows standards as they should be followed (does FF2 pass the ACiD2 test?)

+1

1. Opera 9.1

2. SeaMonkey 1.1

3. Safari 2.0.4

4. Konqueror 3.5.5

5. Flock 1.0 RC1 (0.7.99)/Firefox 2.0

6. K-Meleon 1.02

-- Internet Explorer 7

IE7 - slow browsing, some bugs

FF2.0 - fast browsing (after tweaking), some bugs, some websites DOESN'T work...

Opera - strange

I use Firefox most of the time, and IE6 for some specific websites.

Eventually FireFox 2.0.

I installed FF2.0 but found it to be slower and less stable than 1.5.0.6, so for the time being, I've gone back to the old version.

Thought IE7 was quite nice though.

I was using IE6 for long then I switched to Firefox 1.5 then 2.0, I tried IE7 when it's released but it's nothing comparing to Firefox 2.0 and it's great features.

Firefox 2.0 :)

Firefox

Opera

IE7

(This order for me)

IE7 will always be IE, the browser with the highest market share - thus, it is targeted more by hackers. What I like about Firefox is that it has just the right amount of users, it has a large enough user-base for a suffecient number of plugins, extensions, and themes; it also has just enough users to be noticed and considered by web designers. Opera, from what I understand, is still the fastest browser though (yet it looks the most bloated for me though - or maybe I'm just not used to its default theme)

my order of preference:

opera - because of its mouse gesture feature; its also the fastest

firefox - its fast and streamlined; light on my system resources

ie7 - will only use this if its the last browser on the planet :-)

My solution if IE would be the last browser on the planet: unplug the Web... :rofl: :laugh:

I'm still a Firefox fan. I've gotten so used to the way everything is (and it is all pretty much perfect for me) that nothing else is usable in the same way anymore. I did try Maxthon 2 earlier today, too, but it's no comparison in my opinion. It's gotten better, but it's not good enough!

There's going to be updates every now and then to start fixing alot of these CSS issues that are in IE7...

But it's going to be nice just to see IE8 to come :)

I'll be going with IE7.. until alot of the memory leaks etc etc etc are fixed in firefox..

Firefox does not have a memory problem

Can't believe so much support for IE7, especially in Neowin. MS must have done a lot of things right. :D

For me I prefer IE7 (and even IE6) to FF or Opera because of web page compatibility. But I use IE shell because of the advanced features.
