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....

allynfolksjr does. Seems like we have lot of firefox lovers here o.o

this poll would have much different results on MC forums. There is at least 5 or 6 opera lovers out there and since there is linux users some might be useing browsers that aren't even in this list

Konqueror is a big Linux one, but a lot use Mozillia/Firefox.

I've never tried Opera, but I'm sticking with Firefox until Opera gets extentions or something like that.

Firefox sucks..... ADVENT BROWSER FOREVER!!!!

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2006, 10:19:00 am »

Any point to prove firefox sucks and that avant is better? Personally I used Avant before, but I immediately switched to firefox when I got my new compy. yes it had tabbed browsing and cool stuff but it kept freezing and it was buggy as hell, sometimes scrollbars wouldnt appear, and when opening a new tab it would open Lycos email client in a popup. When I tried to open the drop down of the address bar to see all last visited links it took one minute to open and it took like 100 MB of ram to do it

I downloaded the new IE, that looks pretty slick too. And CSS isn't crappy anymore.

The biggest problem with Avant is that it is old IE. I used avant before Firefox, imo avant was just IE trying to be Firefox (kinda like IE7 but crappier)

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #22 on:** July 01, 2006, 10:31:00 am »

imo i think Avant was more trying to be opera like, because unlike firefox opera only allowed one window.

Where can you download IE7 tho? o.o

Correction: Nerds don't use firefix - as it's just a tabbed open sores version of Internet Explorer. Nerds use Opera, because it's functional and doesn't get in the way of more important things, like browsing the internet. I'd rather download a smaller exe and install it once to get all of the features that Firefox requires countless extensions and a larger base package for.

Well, it's not our fault you use an outdated comp that can't afford to waste 30mb of RAM and 100mb of disk space O_o

^^'

1. FF never got in my way browsing the net
2. no need for smaller exes with a combined HD space of 430GB
3. no need for programs that sleek you can see the ribs with 1GB or RAM.

Any goodly configured average comp can do FF while gaming and whatever.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

That post is so misinformed... I'm not even going to try to respond to that.

While we're on that subject, I have a combined disk space of... past 750GB and at least two computers with 1GB of ram. So I don't really think performance is an issue here.

Hey, I'm just trying to summon up some arguments pro firefox ^^
Maybe I did not emphasize the sarcasm/irony enough... :knight:

It's probably just my subjective opinion, but of all browsers I tried, I likef ff teh best. I find it easy to use, there are many extensions, and I can live with its inefficiency... I found some memory leaks

To each its own! :lol:

rivereye · « **Reply #27 on:** July 02, 2006, 03:39:00 am »

the things I have in FF, I don't think Opera has them (my web developer toolbar for one).

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #28 on:** July 02, 2006, 09:40:00 am »

opera has some web developper tools actually

Actually, it's an open source version of Netscape Navigator.

Just thought I'd point that out. A hell of a lot more secure and less buggy I might add. NN has twice the holes of IE.

Also I do not believe that tabbed browsing is a very special feature of any browser.

Granted, FF was one of the first with it, still, no browser should NOT have that feature, at least nowadays. It's just that the ones that don't have it are t3h suxx0rz and olde tymey.

Personally I would never use anything other than FF or Opera. Opera seems perfectly fine to me except for the evil pw manager. I must say though, FF has it's downsides too, 50MB RAM to run an internet browser seems kinda a lot. Not that it makes a difference for me, but it's the principle of the matter. Also, there's the occasional site that isn't compatible and you have to open IE for. :angry:

Hate that.

New IE looks okay, but I don't know if it's any less holey than old IE and I'm too lazy to do any research on it.

LOL @ avant! I didn't know anyone still used that.
