which web browser do you use?

i'm sick of IE..it hasn't really changed in the past 4 years or so. and it loads pages soooo slow. netscape navigator used to be good back in the day but now it is just way too buggy and unreliable. i just started using OPERA and i really like it. the programming is so simple and clean that its loads up fast and it loads up webpages in a fraction of the time compared to IE. it also integrates the web browswer windows so that they don't clog up your taskbar. u can download it for free at http://download.com.com/3000-2356-1...tml?tag=lst-0-6

which web browser do u use and why?

Yep same here, works perfect and it's fast. Never used anything else besides IE

IE 6
not a single prob so far

I don't blame Netscape for sucking tho, I heard somewhere that windows was designed to make Netscape have problems when running on it so more people would opt for IE just to avoid hassel, (not to mention netscape merged with AOL )

If you want a good, stable reliable and safe webbrowser,
try Opera.
I use the 6.01 Version.
Don't take the 7 version because it has still some bugs in it.

Yeh Opera is quite good
However, I've been using IE6 for a while now (came with XP) and I like it a lot. Opera may be good if you have a slow machine/connection though.

IE makes wannabe webdesigners believe they are hardcore coders... nothings good about that browser...

I use Mozilla.

Opera 7

Posted by Mako on Feb-20-2003 20:14:

i downloaded and installed opera 7 last night after i read this thread. And it's true, it's much faster at loading sites,and his has the stability of netscape minus the long loading times.

i have a 1.8 gigaherz sony computer with a dsl connection and win XP but IE is still fuckin slow as hell. when you click a web link there should be no delay in rendering and loading up the webpage!! with IE theres at least a 2-3 second of wasted time..with OPERA the pages load immediately. it makes full use of my fast computer and internet connection.

never used anything but IE. works for me

Well, big thanx to those who reminded me of Opera again. I used to use it when I had ISDN, but after I got ADSL and Win XP I figured it was unnecessary. I just downloaded it to try it again and I have to say that speed actually increased.

Dont like Opera. It has the whole AOL thing going with how you can only have webpages inside the program. It is nice to be able to drag IE webpages anywhere on the desktop.

Mozilla is coperable to IE. I dont really see a difference besides the buttons. Ohh and i cant go back and forward with the additional buttons on my mouse.

proud Mozilla user since version 0.6... Other browsers simply don't satisfy my needs... Mozilla is just plain godly... Phoenix is nice too, if you want a lighter version..

Ive used them all and Safari owns all woot gooo mac

Chimera is what I use. Tabbed browsing is the shit man. IE for those pages that Chimera doesn't render right.

Opera lets you choose if you want tab browsing or if you want normal IE like browsing... so thats no excuse.

So I take it that no one here uses Netscape?

I don't use Netscape by the way..
