Which web browser do you use most?

jkplayschess · 12-09-2005, 09:15 AM

now that opera is free, it's in my opinion the best choice! :P Anything is better than Internet Explorer though. If you can, download firefox or opera for security and to protect yourself from spyware. By the way, I do work for Dell software support, so this is the kind of stuff I deal with all day!

I typically use IE, but I like Opera and Netscape...

If only Both of those were compatible with everything... That's my only complaint about Opera and Netscape...

Netscape has a customizable toolbar that can display news weather and more...

Maybe IE7 will be better...

I typically use IE. I periodically use Firefox, but it's just not as efficient as IE.

I use I/E but I have AOL explorer, and it's nice, but they're still working out the bugs, so I don't use it as often as I'd like. (AOL Explorer has tabs where you can have one window open but many pages within that window that I'm surfing.) I'm not a the biggest fan of IE but it works!
I do like firefox though...is there anywhere that I could get it without getting spyware?

You can get it from mozilla.org or download.com - both of those should be spyware free...

I really love firefox. Mainly because of the web developer extensions (and all the others). I'm starting to like Opera too. I'm not that big of a fan of IE because of security and since it doesn't have tabbed browsing, which is something I use constantly.

i use AOL explorer too and like it >>alot<< more then IE! lol IE is evil.. (well almost) I almost used FF (firefox) once but i heard that alot of programs wont run with it?

Everything works perfectly for me. Every once in a while (not very often) I run into a site that only works with IE and have to view that page/site in IE. But 99% of the time I have no problems with FF.

i love firefox, i have been using it since the beta, there used to be quite a few things you couldn;t do with it, but now its almost flawless when it comes to compatability. that and its the only logical choice when running linux,
