What Web Browser Do You Use?

Q

Well, IE7 is mostly deintegrated from WVI, so that's not longer a complaint from me. I know that its still more integrated then, say, Ffx or Opera, but less so then the notorious 98 one was.

IE6 isnt exactly that integrated into XP either.

Agreed, SP1 took care of that... a little antitrust ruling goes a long way....

Q

Well, I noticed it more in WVI then XP, however I will admit both are less then the notorious 98+IE4 (I think).

Anyway, as a browser, it varies depending on version. I'll prefer a different one to almost any of them almost any day, however.

I use IE7... FireFox falis too much for me ; )

Try netscape.

Q

If you're going to try NS, why not just try Ffx? That's what the newer releases are based on.

-Q

alexzarach

It seems to be simpler, therefore starts up faster, and allows multiple accounts.

Q

Have you tried "firefox -p" ?

-Q

alexzarach

Yes. I was criticized of advertising firefox in a previous poll of similar title.

Q

Any now you're advertising NS?

-Q

alexzarach

Please do not start a similar argument-I've been involved in too many in Winboards already!

Oh, I think it's time to bring up this video!

Q

ARGH!

There should be LAWS (Or at least AUPs) against such crap as that chain letter someone pasted.

-Q

BOD

What the hell does that video even acheive?

It makes no sense.

BlueSun

It seems mostly targeted to the "Firefox > IE" and I think safari and netscape where just thrown in for... well who knows?

Anyways, I still laugh at that :P

IE is nasty.

I'll admit, they made IE9 the first decent version of IE since like 2.0 but it'll still take a bit more time before I use it on a home computer.

BlueSun

IE9 is definitely the best IE they've released in a long time. Finally a worthy competitor. But as nice as it is, I have no plans to use it as a main browser.

IE is nasty.

I was half expecting him to be running Crossover on linux so he could run IE 6/7

Still a firefox fanboy....unlikely to change anytime soon.

I hadn't even thought of "Crossover" thanks for the suggestion. One of these days when I'm bored I may just give it a shot. I do need to update UBUNTU anyway.

Thanks again.

Just finished upgrading UBUNTU 9.10 to 10.04 (could not go any higher due to system limitations (IBM intel-P3 667 Mhz, 384 megs Ram, 10 Gig HD, nvidia MX 400 video card). Internet Explorer 6.0 works just fine. :lol

dontabandonme

IE9 sucks because it's not compatible with xp

I use firefox 6.0 so i can still view HTML5 pages
