ilya Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 What browser do you use? Firefox because you're awesome, Opera because you wanna be secure or may be even Internet Explorer if you're a noob :lol: You might be using a few browsers but choose which one you think is the best, so I could count your vote. Personally I use Google Chrome, as I find it faster then any other browse, its simple but very ice layout and just much handier then any other one I tried. Google Chrome - 2.5 Mozilla Firefox - 1.5 Internet Eplorer - Opera - 1 Safari - Any other that I forgot atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Chrome, I like it because it leaves a lot of room for the page and seems faster than FireFox, Opera, Safari, or IE8. I'm moving into Minefield for Runescape, because it runs Javascript faster than FireFox, and Chrome is lacking when it comes to Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salad Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Opera, just the best browser in the world. Speak-controlled stuff, fast, secure, awsome themes, loads Runescape extremly fast (for me) and I just don't lag :thumbsup: =D> Chrome could be good, but I don't like betas :ugeek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use Firefox often though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade995 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm using Firefox beta nightly tester edition (3.1b2pre), which is called Minefield. It is very stable. I have the version check off so all my extensions work too. It's way faster than the current version of Firefox. It scores a 92 on Acid3 as of a few minutes ago (tested by me).

I'm moving into Minefield for Runescape, because it runs Javascript faster than FireFox, and Chrome is lacking when it comes to Java. Why would you need a browser to run Javascript at all to play runescape? Personally I use the current version of Firefox with several adddons.

Dracion1 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Firefox 3. Might have a look at 3.1b though. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'd like to know a link to download that minefield, whatever link I click on google tells me "contgratulations on downloading minefield" while I didn't download it -.- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Don't expect anything relatively new, it's essentially the same as Firefox, as far as looks. You really need a 64-bit OS to see the real benefits, but I'm using is on 32-bit fine. Also, a lot of your Firefox add ons don't work with Minefield, which is a downside.

blade995 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 For extensions to work in minefield do this. Type about:config into your address bar> click i'll be careful> search for "extensions.checkCompatibility"> set it to false> Restart Firefox.

urbestfreind Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What is the difference, if you don't mind me asking? :oops: Java is for applications, like Open Office. It is compiled with a java compiler, and can run on any OS that has Java ported to it. JavaScript is run through a browser, and is compiled "on-the-fly." A JavaScript applet (like an intro, banner ad, XSS attack, etc.) is run through the browser, not the OS, and isn't used for desktop applications. So, it can't run stand-alone, it needs the browser, but Java programs don't. Although, syntactically, the two are very similar, and knowing Java will make learning JS very easy, as there isn't really anything new to learn, just a few syntax differences (or at least, I haven't had much of a problem with the two, but I don't know a lot of either). That's just what I know aout it, I could be wrong. I did a quick google search and found this article. It looks like a good read, gonna go read it in a few minutes when I'm done here. For extensions to work in minefield do this. Type about:config into your address bar> click i'll be careful> search for "extensions.checkCompatibility"> set it to false> Restart Firefox. I couldn't find this anywhere...Even tried sorting by value and didn't see it. May just be because I was opening up 3.0.3 not 3.1b1, as explained below. As for the topic... Right now I'm using FireFox 3.0.3. I tried using 3.1b1, but for some reason it opens up 3.0.3, so I'll have to try and figure that out...I was thinking about trying Chrome, but I'll wait for it to be a bit more stable, and maybe get some extensions, before I go playing around in there.
