Which browser do you all think is overall the best? Also, what do you all feel about each browser's support for CSS, HTML, etc.? If you could make your website work on only one browser, which standard would you live up to? W3C's? Microsofts? Do you think ActiveX is a good or bad thing? Do you ever think you'll lay your hands on something that works on only one browser, such as VBscript?

(this topic might trigger a troll)

I like firefox for windows, Safari for mac. I might try opera tho now that version 9 is out (seems to render page much better than the older versions now)

I got problems with gamil in opera tho I dunno if 9.0 fix that

Firefox hands down. IE, well, we all know what's wrong with that. Netscape is unstable and slow (from my expirence), plus the fact that it doesn't have any kind of extensions. I had the same problem with Opera as xlibman, but it would probably rank as #2 on my list. Safari is just, well, I don't like it. Don't really know why, I just don't.

I've only tried firefox and IE, so i dont really think i should vote. of the two, of course firefox wins hands down. i might try opera if it is significantly better though.

Firefox is #1, Opera #2.

FF pwnz em all.

Nuff said.

LOL firefox

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.

FF is good..the only problem I've noticed with it (in css) is that it attaches a top margin to everythingn so that you have to cancel out the margin so that it doesn't affect it. Other than that, FF is a ton better.

Many people around where I live use AOL.

I also remember that there was somebody on IRC who liked Opera the most I think. Hmmm....

eeeew. I don't understand how they can stand that. :knight:

Most people who use AOL are misinformed. They beleive that AOL is the internet. It is not them but stupid people who recomend it to them and the fact that AOL advertises ALOT more then Firefox, Opera or any other good browser. Also, those who use AOL most likely have no idea what the internet actually is. I conclude by saying while the people who created AOL are bloodsucking, demonic, evil, fire breathing, demon winged, horned vampires of money and soul those who use it are the victoms.

EDIT: Where is AOL on that poll anyway?

bfr · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2006, 12:52:00 pm »

I added the AOL and MS options.

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.

Any way to change my vote to AOL, I feel compelled... must spend money on worthless software... must spend money on worthless software...

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