Which browser(s) do you use?

[Michael2]

Opera and IE here. Use Opera unless it gives me trouble. There are a couple of instances where I have to use IE on a regular basis. Actually one of which is my admin CP, the frame up top always locks up Opera and I have to shut the whole thing down.

IE6 works on every web page going, it is fast as lightening and extremely stable.

Why anybody uses anything else I have no idea.

I tried Mozilla but it is too slow

[Matthew Gordon]

Actually.. I did try Phoenix, it's OK.. I *loved* the tabbed browsing thingy. If only IE would implement something like that in IE7, grrrr! I dunno though, some reason I just couldn't get into Mozilla when I tryed it.. it's just... too... Netscrape-ish....

No, Netscrape is too Mozilla-ish.

USE AVANT BROWSER!

It actually requires IE 5.5 or higher, becuase it is basically an "add-on" to IE, although you could still use IE if you really wanted to... Everything IE can do, it can do, it displays pages the same way IE does, and it has tabs that open up instead of a new window. Very nice little program if I say so myself.

LoL, you know, you can have different themes for Mozilla, so it wouldn't look anything like Netscape at all

I agree.. Opera is soo horrible, it's not even funny. I used Mozilla for like.. a day... but found it so slow and, for the most part, couldn't even most pages correctly. I've yet to find a better browser then IE6.

Were you using 1.0 or 1.1? I found those versions to be horribly slow, both in page rendering times and scrolling... I upgraded to 1.2 and thought, hell, this has gotta be a different browser, it was so fast.

[Wayne Luke]

Most the themes that I have found for Mozilla are pathetic with no quality control. Half of them don't even install correctly in the browser...

I am currently using a theme to make Mozilla look similar to the Phoenix UI but it still has a distinctly Netscape feel to it.

In terms of function, customization and fast browsing... I LOVE MY OPERA!

Safari ALL the way.
Hardly EVER have problems with it.
Tabs completely rock - bring on the next official release.

There's spyware in Opera? Other than the ugly banner in the corner?

A bit limited since it's only for Mac OS right?

I'll stick with my IE

[Wayne Luke]

Not only is it limited to Mac OS... But it is OS X. Which leaves millions of iMacs out of the Safari business. And that isn't even mentioning the older computers out there.

Ah, good point, I should have said OSX 10.2 Jag or later as the system req.

Wayne, I appreciate your efforts for keeping everyone up to date but it would be a good idea do a bit of research before making any claims or rumors that can prove damaging for a good company like Opera. Here's a link I got that refutes your claims about Opera and I hope you'll be more responsible in your future posts...

Is Opera spyware?
Platform: All platforms

Certain spyware sites have incorrectly included Opera in their spyware lists, probably because of the ad module in Opera 5. The definition of "spyware" can be found at whatis.com, and also at NetLingo:
Spyware is software used to secretly gather information about the user and pass this information on to interested parties.

Opera is adware, not spyware. The webmasters of some spyware sites appear to have changed the definition of spyware to include adware, but adware does not necessarily spy on the user. The Opera browser does not monitor your surfing habits, and it does not gather information about you or your system. You can voluntarily use Opera's ad preferences to receive targeted ads, but you have to enter this information manually in Opera's Preferences. This information cannot be traced back to you.
When Opera connects to the ad servers to download new ads, no information which can identify a person is sent, and everything can be viewed as pure text. There are no attempts to hide the transmitted data.
The ad module was written by Opera's developers, and contains no code from Advertising.com. See below for detailed information on how the ad module works and what kind of information is sent:

Overview of the advertising implementation: www.opera.com/docs/ads/

Except for Microsoft's stock, I really am not much of a MS fan... In this case, MS Explorer can't compare to Opera which is why I LOVE MY OPERA!
