Why the different browsers for the different platforms?

Because Mozilla on Linux is l33t.

then what were you talking about and also my commet was just about his monopoy over the operating systems and also

Competitors such as Mozilla offer software that competes with the Internet Explorer Web browsing capabilities of our Windows operating system products.

fire fox is vastly superior to IE, user friendly speaking (IMO). plus, there are so many extensions available to firefox users (for free, of course), that you can customize your browser to your own needs and wants. i personally have the adblock extentsion and a counterpart for it, no script, foxytunes (an extenstion that allows me to control my media program from the browser), mouse gestures (total time free-er upper), an IE tab extension, which allows me to view IE pages in a tab in firefox, and soo many other things that make my web surfing soo much easier. it really is worth the little time it takes to switch. as for opera, i have no idea how it flies, but from what i've read, it seems ok. (i'm still a firefox fanatic all the way)

mind telling me which extension that is and how to set it up? :wink:

IE Tab extension is here

 

 

 

Good luck with Firefox topic starter. :D

 

 

 

I personally use Firefox because of its increased safety(especially with the noscript extension), better built in pop-up blocker, ease of customizability(extensions, themes, user.js file, userContent.css file, userChrome.css file, etc.), and its tabbed browsing. And if you need to use Internet Explorer for something, use the IE tab extension I linked to above and open IE in a Firefox tab :)

thx, i tend to play rs in IE other than firefox because im one of the few who enjoy hte soundeffects (and they help in telling what is attacking me in cwars :wink: )

I <3 My FF. :) Get the FF my friend... don't listen to whatever anyone else says... unless they also so get FF :). (No not final fantasy) o.O

i have just downloaded it - this should be a stickie really - the advice was really helpful thanks all you guys. choose firefox though - its safe and easy to download and install.

 

 

 

You could also go for Opera, which many people believe is in many ways superior to FireFox.

just how is it superior? (not to be taunting or anything- that is a serious question)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: ok, i just checked out the site, and it honestly didn't seem to have anything that was superior to ff (maybe the voice thingy, but i wouldn't be comfortable talking to my computer). also, i didn't see anything about extensions like ff, which make ff fiftybillion times better than other browsers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s.

 

 

 

i even have this extension called "firesomething" which gives the browser a different name each time its opened in a new window (e.g.- instead of "Mozilla Firefox" showing up in the title bar, something like "Acura Playunicorn" (what is currently in my title :P)). its totally great for laughs. just tohught i'd mention it. lol, "Playunicorn"

Just a matter of preference, I think. I've heard good things about Opera and Firefox, but haven't tried Opera yet.

yeah, its probably just that, but on the opera homepage, they make claims that features like password/username management and customizable looks(i.e.- moving buttons) make it a good browser. those things seemed like pretty weak assets for the browser, except for the speed issue maybe (which is solved by the ff extension "fasterfox"). yeah, (ff+ff extensions=pure 0wnag3)

Do remember that Opera's stock version comes with enough features that you'd need close to 50+ FF extentions to come close to matching.

 

 

 

Some people call it bloat but when the original download is still SMALLER than a stock FireFox, I tend to disagree ;)

IE Is pretty secure the problem is that the users have to make it secure most people just leave default settings inplace.

I love tabbed browsing-- so I'll probably stick with FF.

 

 

 

RSS is another nice feature.

Surely then thats a flaw in IE to have such insecure settings in a vanilla install?
