Which Browser Do you Use

[Marcel T]

I'm an O.G Firefox user (0.8?) but it ****es me off sometimes, especially with the memory hogging issues. I really like Opera too, it's awesome, but I just can't use it for longer than 10 minutes without wanting to go back to memory hungry Firefox P(

People who've use both Opera and Firefox or switch back and forth, can you guys please comment?on these Opera Forums threads:

1. Why do users not switch to Opera?

2. How many of you have firefox installed?

Thanks.

On Windows and Linux it's Firefox, but I voted Opera since on my main (Mac) I use Opera. It's just nice since it has email and a browser that works well, I like it better than anything else available for Mac, at the moment until Shiira comes out of beta then maybe I'll be switching.

I generally stick to Opera on all platforms, but I'm liking OmniWeb on the Mac quite a lot.

IE 7 with IE7 Pro add-on

Seriously, all these people that rip IE all the time... I have always used IE right from the very beginning of its time. I have NEVER had any mal-ware or ad-ware on my computer. A little sensibility is all that you need and you are home free!

[Linkinfamous]

I used to be Firefox only -- Since it was Firebird, actually....but I've recently decided to give IE7 a better chance. It just looks so much better than Firefox in Vista. And every time I use something that doesn't work in Firefox, I get ****ed. I mean, what doesn't work in IE? Everything works in IE. Coupled with Protected Mode....Ugh, I sound like a promotional website.

Since I've installed Vista (on launch day) I've used IE7 (as I've been too lazy to download Opera) and its been great.

I'm using Firefox as my default web browser. Also have opera installed but rarely use it.

Firefox :D

K-meleon and IE6

[NienorGT]

Main browser: Firefox,

Don't care if it's the best, it's enough secure and the interface is hyper customizable (Can change everything if you want) and I like it.

For me, after the security and support (ie: PNG, CSS and what IE6 don't do :p) the UI is the most important factor.

On Vista I stick with IE7 for now to hard-test it but I don't think it will still there. Still, it's not a bad browser, it's incredible what they have done from IE6. But the lack of customization kill it for my use.

Opera is really great, but I just hate the Interface and how it work :pinch:

Maxthon 2.0 Beta have good chances, in overall I like it, but I would love if they would move to Gecko engine over Trident...

[Nashy]

Firefox. I've just tested Opera for a week or so, and found it nots the browser for me.

[studio57lie]

Firefox ftw, but I would like to see a faster Firefox.

the real issue is just booting. its fine other than that

Enjoy Theworld~:)

I used IE6 religiously until someone introduced me to Firefox back when 1.0 was released.

I didnt like Firefox at first, but I loved it after a while. I try Opera every now and again when new versions come out, but its just so annoying. Its slower than firefox and only works with 60% of my regularly visited sites.

Since I got Vista, i'm now alternating between IE7 and Firefox. I love IE7 :wub:

[Hazardous Pain]

For the big part I use Fire Fox because it's simply the best, i have also IE7 and Opera and I use them rarely because that depends on the site i'm visiting, for example for arabic character encoding IE7 is better than all of the others, but in matter of browsing and security, FF is the best, well that's my opinion of course!! :)

[Septimus]

IE7 + IE7Pro.

Would use Opera, but it doesn't run in Protected Mode... yet. FF2 sucks so avoiding that.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

Was with Firefox for long time untill Opera release version 9. ?Didnt move back to Firefox since! ?It's a charm and so much more customisable.

It fits my needs perfectly

[Yogurth]

Well Opera doesn't need to be ran in protected mode ^_^, seriously though only 2 security warnings for Opera(not including adobe flash security holes) in past 12 months, compared to close to 100 for IE and Firefox.

[Mando]

ive got most installed but i usually use IE7 or Opera

although lately ive been trying out Maxthon again & Theworld.

small fast and secure Maxthons a keeper :)

Tested the memory footprint on all browsers viewing the same page as a matter of fact today and was pleasently surprised.

biggest was Firefox followed by IE7 then opera,theworld & maxthon.

FF & IE are just tooo bloated IMHO

in linux i run Opera or Konqueror

at the end of the day its horses for courses and i just dont rate FF that highly or IE7 for that matter, i dont lose sleep over what browser is better got better things to spend brain hours on ;)

[MR_Candyman]

For a long time I used avant, then myie2 got better than it so I finally fully switched to it in windows while using konqueror in linux. MyIE2 turned into Maxthon, and I still solely use it in windows, which I later switched to firefox in linux. I'm now using opera in linux. It's closer to maxthon in terms of use and really, I like maxthon. I wish there was a linux version...

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

take a wild guess...

[Mando]

take a wild guess...

Maxthon? :rofl:
