What Browser Are You Using?


We had an old poll about this, but I am curious what everyone is using currently!

You can vote for numerous browsers, if that is what you are currently using.

Mozilla and Firefox is the same thing.

I use IE 7 and Firefox.

I love Firefox and it's features, but every now and then something doesn't work. I keep IE as a backup.

If you are using fire fox, I really like IE View <addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/35> plug-in that I highly recommend is the send to IE shortcut. If a page doesn't view correctly, right-click on the page and there's an option to open the page in IE. Works like a champ!

Cole, please tell some feature about Safari (besides it's NOT Micro$haft Exploder nor Nutscrape)

Does it have tab browsing?
Customizable?
"member only" password memory?
Is it open source?

Who "makes" it ????

(I love Opera, but am always on the look out for the next best browser)

Re: What Browser Are You Using?


I have used every single browser and I seem to like Safari the best.

Firefox does have some great features, but it is a memory hog and I hate that about it.

Give it a try!

Side by side, IE is loading this site faster. I can't find the white/black list in Safari, but I'm looking!

Safari doesn't seem very safe. You can't set lists for restricted sites or cookies. IE has that beat, so I'll report to apple.

Can't load SpySites or SpyWareBlaster data into it.
Finally crashed, but I'll keep trying it.

Robert, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Opera, with the magic wand, Aspell, Widgets, tab browsing and all the other stuff you know well about.

Have you tried Safari?

I'd like some direct comparisons to Safari, and since you are the only other one so far to be using Opera, I was wondering if you had tried both.

I liked and was using Firefox, but on the advice of my Linux enhanced brother, I tried Opera and after a week REALLY liked it.

I'm not pushing Safari on anyone, I just was throwing it out there for some guys to try.

What may work for me, may not work for you.

I have not tried safari on MY computer. I have used it before on other computers. Never really stood out to me but my use was very small.

Re: What Browser Are You Using?


I do business on an XP box, but I do most of my browsing and email on an ancient Linux box. I use Firefox on both. (The box is ancient in computer years - the os is only about one year old . . .)

I only use IE when activex is necessary. I've never tried IE7, I won't install it on my computer. I am a dedicated Firefox user. Netscape is basically the same thing as FF. I like the look of Opera, but it never really took off for me. I wasn't aware that you could install Safari on PC's.

I use IE7. I click the links and the page opens up...what more is there? It's as fast as I need, which means most pages take a sceond or two to load.
