We are all nerds. Normal people all use IE (ack), Netscape (double ack), MSN (*barf*), or AOL (BACK VILE CREATURE OF THE NETHERWORLD! I cast thine soul into the BOWELS of OBLIVION!!!).Opera is pretty good, but the pw manager suxx0rz (it lies!) so firefox wins. :] I kinda want Opera DS... probably will cost $40 though. <_<

EDIT: Where is AOL on that poll anyway?

Also, when I click "Show Results" I get redirected to the main page.
But all of you HTML/Javascript/CSS coders, you may dislike Internet Explorer, but Internet Explorer is very popular and if you make your code look good only on W3C-compliant browsers, many people will be viewing your page wrongly.

BTW there is now AOL explorerer as well which is IE but prettier.

allynfolksjr does. Seems like we have lot of firefox lovers here o.o
this poll would have much different results on MC forums. There is at least 5 or 6 opera lovers out there and since there is linux users some might be useing browsers that aren't even in this list Post by: rivereye on June 29, 2006, 03:23:00 am

The biggest problem with Avant is that it is old IE. I used avant before Firefox, imo avant was just IE trying to be Firefox (kinda like IE7 but crappier)
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 01, 2006, 10:31:00 am
Where can you download IE7 tho? o.o

1. FF never got in my way browsing the net
2. no need for smaller exes with a combined HD space of 430GB
3. no need for programs that sleek you can see the ribs with 1GB or RAM.
Any goodly configured average comp can do FF while gaming and whatever.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Post by: allynfolksjr on July 01, 2006, 03:12:00 pm
While we're on that subject, I have a combined disk space of... past 750GB and at least two computers with 1GB of ram. So I don't really think performance is an issue here. :)

Maybe I did not emphasize the sarcasm/irony enough... :knight:
It's probably just my subjective opinion, but of all browsers I tried, I likef ff teh best. I find it easy to use, there are many extensions, and I can live with its inefficiency... I found some memory leaks :ninja:
To each its own! :lol:

I'd rather download a smaller exe and install it once to get all of the features that Firefox requires countless extensions and a larger base package for. |
Actually, it's an open source version of Netscape Navigator. ;)
Just thought I'd point that out. A hell of a lot more secure and less buggy I might add. NN has twice the holes of IE. :P
Also I do not believe that tabbed browsing is a very special feature of any browser. :P
Granted, FF was one of the first with it, still, no browser should NOT have that feature, at least nowadays. It's just that the ones that don't have it are t3h suxx0rz and olde tymey.Personally I would never use anything other than FF or Opera. Opera seems perfectly fine to me except for the evil pw manager. I must say though, FF has it's downsides too, 50MB RAM to run an internet browser seems kinda a lot. Not that it makes a difference for me, but it's the principle of the matter. Also, there's the occasional site that isn't compatible and you have to open IE for. :angry:
Hate that.New IE looks okay, but I don't know if it's any less holey than old IE and I'm too lazy to do any research on it. :P
LOL @ avant! I didn't know anyone still used that. XD

Granted, IE is not da best, but it's still a widely used browser, since Windooze comes with it.

I like advent mostly because of its lovely programable proxy list, making it ohh so easy to hack my stupid ISPs "safe blocks". Lame. One time my ISP blocked ticalc.org because of "criminal conduct". PATHETIC!!!

Over all, it looks like IE will be ahead of all the other browsers in the future as Microsoft is a bigger company and it comes standard with all PC based systems. Firefox and Opera are wonderful browsers, but it lacks the force behind it (ie. the money). Most people do not know that there are better browsers than IE or if any had exists, as those people do not seek a better browser. Now Firefox looks like it is bigger now as it has been free since the beginning, as opposed to Opera, but now that Opera has become free it looks like it will be used by many more than before.
The last thing I think needs to be mentioned, for those who have not heard, is that Firefox has been purchased by Google. And for those who do not know, Google has become a big competitor to that of Microsoft. So now that Firefox has been placed in the hands of a powerful and well known company, it will be spread more appropriately (as far as I would think).
All in all, the choice comes to the users preference. I do not care what anyone uses, nor do I care what one says of any. Use what you want and that will be good enough to me, but I would like for those to as least use Firefox or Opera for safety reasons. At least until the newer version of IE come out officially.

in order of my personal favorites:
Opera 9
Safari RSS
Opera 8
Konqueror
iCab
Firefox
Safari
iirc, firefox had 15ish critical security issues, and opera 8 had 1.
