concuto789 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 three of the biggest internet browsers at war, which one will win? personally i think IE 7(internet explorer 7), since Microsoft is adding all the things that the other browsers have, and better design, look and feel, ease of use, and the most popular browser on the planet. Im trying to get it, even though its BETA 2, but i cant because my Window is pirated... :oops: :cry: ...... Oh and I hate that Genuine Advantage thing that pops up to nag you to get legit version on window(but i fixed it :lol: , with the help of tech forums) Opinions?facts?

IE 7 = insecure, loads of bugs and errors, easy to break in and etc... Opera: Awsome... BETA 2 is good, but I still use 8.x I'll wait 9.0 get out of beta testing. FireFox: really good, I use it too, its in constant update and have loads of skins and add-ons. My vote is for Opera and Firefox, but between both... Opera. ~komodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjbj1991 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I use Opera but have used them all. IE: Far less advanced than Firefox or Opera, never use unless website requires it. Firefox: Crashes often on my computer so like IE I only use at browser sincive sites, I have found a few addons good but not many. Opera: No known cons except lack of a wikipedia search. Sessions are wonderful and something I wish firefox had. Saves list of sites instantly so if windows or Opera (very rare only happend 2 times) crashes I can restore it in seconds. I have the beta 9 on my comp and it looks perty good, the widgets are wonderful wite notes and the wiki/dictionary search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Firefox hasn't crashed for me for a long time now. And I've used them all too, and I never use IE unless I have to. As of right now, I'm using both Opera and Firefox. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I prefer Opera. FireFox I probably wouldn't mind expcet that I need (at least count) almost 30 extensions to replicate the functionality that I use frequently in Opera. I have all browsers crash on me at some point. But given the state of my system, I don't know if that a problem with the browser or a problem with Windows. Right now I'll put it down to Windows since all of them (except IE) were stable up until recently :-? And the only reason IE7 will be at the top of the usergroup charts is because it'll be hardcoded into the OS and most people just can't be bothered getting an alternate browser. It's got nothing to do with functionality. If Microsoft ware required, by law, to have FireFox and Opera included in the install of Winows alongside of IE, I'd say that IE will fall behind in how many people use it.

bjbj1991 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think Microsoft should remove their browser and focus more on compatability between operating system, reliability, and security. I highly doubt that their new browser is going to be revolutionary so when I get Vista, first thing I am going to do is goto http://www.opera.com.

cadburys_egg Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 IE: Far less advanced than Firefox or Opera, never use unless website requires it. Funny thing that. This nifty little extension means I dont need to :o. Anyway, I use FireFox. Being able to have a Google/ebay/dictionary etc. search with multi-tab browsing is perfect. I like customising my workspace and especially making it fun to use (1337-key, bork bork bork extensions.). But my favourite extension is this: Its always annoying if Firefox freezes or a power-cut occurs, but with that nifty little thing means it wont annoy me. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
