Title: Web Browser Survey
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on November 30, 2005, 11:49:10 AM: With the release of FireFox 1.5, I\'d like to take a survey of what web browser people use. I know there is a lot of disparity amongst the group. This is just something I\'ve been wondering.

Personally, I\'m a FireFox user.

Post by: Blade on November 30, 2005, 12:32:22 PM: Firefox since the beta in October 2004. IE is kept on hand for emergencies.

Post by: Paul2 on November 30, 2005, 03:09:52 PM: Firefox and IE. Haven\'t try others yet as both Firefox and IE seems to work fine so far.

Post by: Titan on November 30, 2005, 03:55:38 PM: Firefox but I have IE because sometimes some sites need you to use IE and its good as a backup if Firefox is glitchy (which for somereason it is on my comp).

Post by: Evi on December 18, 2005, 06:49:45 PM: Me too. It\'s pretty fast and reliable. There are some sites that load better in Safari than either IE or Firefox. I wish Safari was more customizable though. Still a solid app.

Post by: Evi on December 19, 2005, 10:45:39 AM: Opera sucks balls. I can\'t stand that program. Most of my extensions/themes have received compatible updates anyway.

Let\'s see...

FasterFox
PDF Download
Remove It Permanently
Calculator
Customize Google (Very Helpful Extension)
NoScript
StumbleUpon
DownloadThemAll!
ImgLikeOpera
Gcache
W3T Url Shrinker
DictionarySearch
Google Toolbar

I originally used the Tweak Network Settings extension to speed up the internet, but FasterFox has proved itself much faster.

Post by: JBean on December 19, 2005, 12:27:36 PM: I used to have a lot more extensions loaded but firefox was getting a little unstable, so I cut it back to just basic stuff for now. With 1.5 I may try to get more soon.
Title: Web Browser Survey
Post by: Evi on December 19, 2005, 12:33:51 PM: 1.5 seems very stable, regardless of all the extensions I have loaded. But I may cut back on a few that aren\'t really necessary.

Opera sucks balls

Alot of those wonderful features/extensions you love in firefox is nothing more than a cheap imitation from the Opera browser, even the die-hard Firefox supporters agree that many of Firefox\'s most popular features were invented and popularized by Opera and yet Opera\'s feature set is far more extensive that anything Firefox will ever have and the reason for that is because opera is the breeding ground for web surfing innovation.

With Firefox not all of the extensions work well together, and every time the browser is upgraded, the extensions break and must be downloaded and re-installed.

Opera is a wonderful browser, small, tightly coded and surf\'s faster, it’s now free(since OCT 2005) and runs faster and uses less memory than Firefox. Its greatest attraction is innovation. The Opera design team introduced many new features for both browsers and e-mail. Even the vaunted Google had borrowed from Opera\'s mail feature set. Opera\'s feature set is huge, well-designed and presented with an intuitive interface. For those whose needs are more complex, more complex features are available.

FireFox is Popular for 3 Main Reasons

#1 it\'s Free
#2 It\'s 10x better than that Peice of Shlt known as IE
#3 it\'s Open Source

Take a look at it;s simplicity and beauty

Title: Web Browser Survey
Post by: Evi on December 20, 2005, 09:47:42 AM: Opera browsing doesn\'t feel as smooth as browsing in Firefox (it doesn\'t feel as "stable")...I have a lot of problems viewing certain pages with Opera even with the latest version installed.

Rarely.

No, it doesn\'t surf faster, not after I installed FasterFox. Opera has a default function that allows you to change the amount of connections, but that\'s all it lets you do. Fasterfox has many more tweaks that make it quite a faster experience.

The only thing I use Opera for is when I use YouSendIt.com to send nearly 1GB files...it\'s the only browser that doesn\'t time out or bring up an error after sending for 8 hours. So in that respect, I like Opera.
