Which Web Browser do you Prefer?

**Dax** · 03-07-2007, 10:59 AM

I regularly use both IE6 and Firefox 1.5, the latter being my favorite. I like Firefox's adblock feature, and there seems to be a lot less trouble with viruses and spyware. But, IE isn't bad either, and it doesn't seem to be in any danger of becoming obsolete anytime soon.

What do you guys use?

I use IE6 as well.

Never tried the firefox is it worth a d/l just for the adblock feature and spyware blockers?

**third_shift|studios** · 03-07-2007, 11:03 AM

safari, then firefox

IMHO, most definitely. FF is touted as being open-source code or something of that nature, which to a layman like me means, new, unique, and occassionally useful hacks are invented and shared on a regular basis.

p.s. nice sig

IE6 because I'm lazy, and not a fanboy

I use firefox because I like using a browser that gets updated ASAP when security holes are discovered as opposed to one that gets updated every 3 months or whenever the twits at Microsoft get around to actually releasing a patch.

I love tabbed browsing, which IE didn't have until recently. I don't see any reason to switch back to IE.

You convinced me I will try it on my home machine thanks for the review.

I guess I should display my sig after a compliment like that!

**bmyers** · 03-07-2007, 03:18 PM

Fire Fox rocks. Microsoft just started copying tabbed browsing.

COME UP WITH YOU OWN CRAP MICROSOFT.

I am running SUSE Linux Desktop 10.1, and it comes native with Firefox. I love that I don't need to enter HTTP when I go to something that require a port number on the end of the FQDN.

And the tabbed browsing most definitely does rock.

Yeah I know WTF, the reason I started using Firefox was for the tabs. Tabbed browsing is the best thing sinced sliced bread.

I'm not big on the tabs, but prefer the bookmarking that FF provides. I use IE6 more than I'd like due to compatibility issues that FF has with many sites.

Mozilla Firefox is alot better... numerous reasons.. a few highlights .. if your computer suddenly shuts down or your browser does .. mozilla remembers your tabs you were looking at .. and gives you the feature of pulling them right back up even if you dont remember what you were looking at..

another thing is this .. I am a big spelling freak.. mozilla underlines anything misspelled and if you right click it gives you the correct spelling or options

Another thing is the tabs .. although IE uses them now firefox did it alot earlier and cleaner...

I also like the quick buttons you can make on below your browser address field for all of your fav websites

safari, avant, and opera (i believe) all have had tabbed browsing as well

I hate IE7! That's some pain in the ass shit. Firefox gets better and better all the time. I also like you can run it off a U3 drive and take everything with you.

I got Netscape 8.1...and it sucks little green lizard dick.......

I use firefox and love everything about it....except that spell checker. That is a worthless piece of shit. It's good at finding stuff spelled wrong, but the options it gives you to choose from are ridiculous.

Example...If i misspell "chair" like "chare" it gives me the following examples of what it could be:

Cherry
Chink
Afro Sauce
California
