I use Firefox. However, I downloaded Avant like 2 weeks ago and I'm getting in love with it. I has kicking ass features and a very sleek design. What I really love most about it, is the floating tabs, you can put them wherever you want. The thing is, it's based on IE, so ...

I voted for firefox, been playing around with linux these few weeks and opera didn't perform as well as I want it to. However opera would be my vote on winxp system, it just performs much faster, I couldn't get firefox to cache pages the way I want it to, sites like ign or anything with a prev/next pages listing reloads half the page whenever I click back/forward, I just can't make it cache like opera (pages loads instantly from cache for me with opera everywhere), and I can't get over that and no one cared to give me a solution, so I ditched firefox in windows.

I go back to firefox every once a while, the extensions are just that flexible, I tried epiphany in gnome but it lacked a lot of settings and extensions, if they could however use the same extensions and settings as FF I would switch to epiphany. So interms of usability I vote for Opera on windows. Features and potential wise, FF takes the cake, opera just don't feel like it's going anywhere without extensions, even though I love the browser, something is lacking from every browsers imo, so I voted for I might make a switch from whatever I'm using at the moment.

    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
