Which browser do you use? [Archive]

i really like the way firefox works, for the most part. i do run into occasional missing plugin, or something like that, that forces me to use ie.

i also sometimes use custom-built browsing programs when i need something non-standard done. fortunately, http protocol is extremely simple, and writing your own code to retrieve pages is easy. that and a simple dom parser gives you a basic browser.

I've used Firefox since it was version 1 and stuff, but over time I've noticed it's actually gotten slower, and that benefit for me from when it first came out is lost nowadays. Opera loads faster, and you can set it to wrap tabs on to multiple lines, or just keep them all on one line with no horizontal scrollbar. It also has a lot of the features I'm interested in, by default, whereas Firefox needs plugins to get the same level of functionality and comfort. Some might argue that the fact Firefox is a little more basic and that such extra features must be installed using plugins makes it more flexible in some way. Thing is, though, Opera uses less memory and still manages to keep its interface and all its options simple.

I like Opera's support for multiple stylesheets, or no stylesheet at all. It's interesting to see how a web site would look without its stylesheet in use, and also how any versions of the site for print, screen and portable devices differ by examning the author-made stylesheet for each platform. It's helpful, from a web design point of view, and switching between them is easy, using the View menu.

I'm also very pleased with Opera on my linux machine. Under Windows I use Mozilla Firefox 2. On my old Pentium 2 I've installed Mozilla SeaMonkey and Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5. They run pretty smooth under Ubuntu 8.04, although that oldtimer does have only 350 MHz and 256+128 MB RAM.
It's important for me to have browser that run on more than one operating system, so IE is useless for me (beside it's only a bad collection of innovations of better browsers and it ignores many web standards).

Well, except for Exchange web mail access of my work e-mail account and my router's web access, where I use IE7 via the IE Tab plugin from within FF2.

At work I'm forced to use IE7, as I can't be bothered to make the admin get FF installed (and kept up-to-date) on every workstation. :-/

Funny story: The reason why I tried Opera in the first place was because my firefox was completely messing up; in any form on a page, and in the address and search bars, when I typed the pointer remained before the ting I just typed, so if I were to type forum.team17.com it would come out as moc.71maet.murof. It really annoyed me so I tried Opera, and saw the light.

My browser of choice is Firefox, although I occasionally use ABrowse for testing purposes (and for fun).

Also, I can't help but feel that the only reason you started this poll was to see which browser people used the most so you could follow the herd and make the switch. Just try them all out yourself and make a decision based on what you prefer, guy.

It's subjective. Under the hood, Opera is better than Firefox. But they provide a approximately equal user experience. I prefer to use Firefox because it's just that little bit more user-friendly than Opera is.

My internet explorer browser has been extremely laggy lately, and slow. So i decided to create this thread to get some info on what people like here, and seen as Mozilla firefox seems to be the best here, i decided to switch to that straight away. And its much faster than my laggy old internet explorer browser.

And i'm not going to try out 10 or so browsers just to find out which one suits me.

Your right, that is why i created this thread. To get some opinions. And i've chosen Firefox, as it seems to be mentioned in other forums as well.

Also out of curiousity, i created this thread.

Might try out opera tho, sooner or later.

Yeah, you don't have to download all the extensions to get the features :)

Remember, most popular <> best, as you can see with the Windows/Linux thing, the IE/FF/Opera, and the charts for games most times.

Dispite most people answering FF, most people on the internet who aren't reasonably elite (eg the average tom, dick or harry) will use IE. Mainly ignorance.

IE is actually MORE secure than firefox, but because IE is more often targetted it gets more bugs.

think of it like this: you can choose 2 shields. one is a tower shield with a target painted on the front in neon lights, the other is a buckler. the buckler will do a better job since you're not so obviously trying to attract attention but the tower shield would normally do a better job.

There's no point uninstalling IE, it's not going to do any harm if you hardly use it.
Anyway, there are some sites that don't work without IE, or don't work with Firefox, so I really reccomend not uninstalling it.

You can't uninstall IE.

Whence do you know that IE is more secure than Firefox?

Actually the security level of a browser depends on the user, who uses that software. If you click on everything you get your mouse on, you can get sure, you get malware, you don't want.
First option to make your system securer: Get rid of administrator rights. Do everything you do without admin rights. If you want to install software switch your account or run the Windows Explorer with admin rights.
Second option: Turn javascript off. We're getting at a point where Opera and Firefox (and other browsers) are better than IE (I know IE has a zone model, but it's too general).
With NoScript for Firefox you can allow pages, you trust, using JavaScript, it's much more confortable, than switching it on/off for the complete web.
With Opera you can define many other things the page you're surfing on may do/not do.

So, as a result: Every browser can be secure, if the user uses his brain, addons or built-in features and working without admin rights can help.

I prefer having features I don't use as opposed to not having features that I do use. I'm fine with the extra bits in Opera. besides, is there no way to remove them from Opera? or at least hide them? I believe you can at least do the latter.

Because, as Andrew said, it's the only way to efficiently get the bugs detected. It's unfeasible for a developer to test a piece of software on every single possible combination of hardware that exists. So, it's easier to release a Beta version of the software which is relatively stable and have users report the bugs and get them fixed a lot quicker. Pretty much every developer releases beta software before release.

11 May 2008, 14:11

Agreed - Opera has a bucketload of features that I've never used. There are some features I liked in Opera, but you can get Firefox plug-ins that perform the same function.

Firefox, really, is a "build it yourself" browser. Personally, I like that - they say that the average person only uses 10% of the features on their mobile phone. Wouldn't you prefer a mobile with features you could pick and choose from?if there were a benefit like better battery life or something for having fewer features then hell yeah I would love that. in the case of opera, though, you don't really get any down sides for having the extra features built-in. not to say that my way is better than yours or anything, there just really isn't much difference no matter how you look at it. to me anyway.

Yeah. It's called the personal toolbar. Activate it in tools --> appearance. You can drag buttons from the bookmarks panel (the thing that opens on the left when you click the picture of tools), icons in address bars or tabs to it, but not from the bookmarks menu.
is it possible to put the Address bar above the Tab bar?
If you use a simple workaround, yes. Show the main bar and hide the address bar. Then, right click on the main bar and click customize, and remove all the buttons on the main bar and replace them with the ones that would be on the address bar. Hey presto. There might be a custom menu someone has made with this already set up. Also, select "images only" for the Style in the toolbar tab
Is there a way to remove/hide the Widgets menu on the menu bar at the top?
Yes. Open your standard_menu.ini (IIRC it's in the dir you installed Opera). Ctrl+F for "[Browser menu bar]" (including the square brackets but not the quotes). In that section, comment out the line "Submenu, M_WIDGET_MENU, Browser Widgets Menu" by putting a semicolon (;) and a space before it

I posted that in the other thread (the one about FF3 being out)
How do you change what Search Engine it uses for it's Browse By Name function? it currently uses some retarded one >.> or, when i type Virtuanes, it takes me to www.Virtuanes.com (http://www.virtuanes.com/) instead of http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/
That one is quite difficult, as Opera's current behaviour is "if not found, stick a www.*.com to it". There is however a way for you to type, for example, "l virtuanes.com" (or any other letter apart from ones already in use such as w, g, e or d) by adding this to your search.ini (you can also do it via the GUI, but I prefer doing it this way):
[Search Engine 1]
ID=1000000
Name=I'm Feeling Lucky
Verbtext=0
URL=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=iso-8859-1&q=%s&sourceid=opera&btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky
Query=
Key=l
Is post=0
Has endseparator=0
Encoding=utf-8
Search Type=0
Position=-1
Nameid=0
Deleted=0

If you have any other search engines in your search.ini, replace "[Search Engine 1]" with the correct number. After this, just type "l virtuanes" for example to I'm Feeling Lucky for Virtuanes. (the l being an el, since the font on the forum is hard to distinguish)

There is however a way for you to type, for example, "l virtuanes.com" (or any other letter apart from ones already in use such as w, g, e or d) by adding this to your search.ini (you can also do it via the GUI, but I prefer doing it this way):How is that easier than right-clicking the search box and selecting Create Search?

You can also change your default search engine quickly by right-clicking the search box in the Speed Dial and selecting Manage Search Engines.

Firefox 2 > Firefox 3

Fx 3 fails to load pages, fails to render pages correctly, fails to maintain connections, renders forums in a bad way... (makes everything jitter around till it is all loaded), is overall a terrible browser.

Firefox 2 works perfectly and will even work fine along side my download accelerators and so does Opera!

I noticed these problems in all the beta's and release candidates of Fx 3 and it still is not fixed.

Because, y'know, if a website somehow crashes your browser you want it to bring down everything you were looking at in one go, as opposed to just the tab that caused the problem. Youc an also drag a tab out of the window and it'll pop out in its own window. Sort of thing.

Chrome, for me, offers a nice middle-ground between Firefox and Opera. Opera came loaded with a ton of features I'm never going to use, but was nice and stable. Firefox allowed expansion and plugins and was generally more aesthetically pleasing than Opera, but had trouble handling simple things such as which window is currently in focus. Chrome is nice, stable, expandable, and user-friendly. I've also noticed that websites seem to load a lot quicker in Chrome. I've tested it against IE7, Firefox and Safari (but not Opera, as I no longer have it installed on any of my boxes) and pages load a Hell of a lot faster.

Google's reasoning behind the development of the browser is that most modern browsers were originally built in the 90s when the web was a very different beast. Google say they've built Chrome based on the web as it is now. I'm not sure how much of that I'm prepared to accept, but it seems a reasonable logic.

Also: You're very Militant when it comes to Opera. it;s a web browser.

Chrome is considerably faster at running javascript than any other browser - except FF 3.1 (presuming the beta has the planned javascript improvements).

As Squirminator said, it's much harder to crash Chrome than most other browsers, and one JS heavy webpage in a tab won't slow down the whole browser. There were a few very large bugs in the first version, and there are still bugs in the current version's canvas implementation, which is kinda daft considering it's aiming at web apps.

Unfortunately, Chrome lacks a few things firefox has which I use a lot, like middle clicking the back-forward buttons to open them in a new tab. If it had them I'd switch to it as my main browser. Until then I'll have to see if FF 3.1 lives up to Chrome's speed.

If you're going onto sites that crash your browser, you should reconsider which sites you go on.
The more and more javascript that's used, the higher the chances of a javascript-related crash.

Also, Opera is proprietary, and I (and I suspect others too) would much rather support an OS browser like Chrome or FF.

Squirminator2k

15 Oct 2008, 19:31

You can do that in Opera
Alright then.

If you're going onto sites that crash your browser, you should reconsider which sites you go on.
Sometimes it's unavoidable. not everyone is a great web designer and occasionally, occasionally, a perfectly reasonably-coded website will crash your browser. Sometimes YouTube can crash your browser. Sometimes a Java Applet will cause a problem and force the browser to close. It's all well and good to say "just don't visit siets that will make your browser crash" but that's like saying "computers don't make mistakes, people do" which we all know si emphatically wrong.

Opera loads pages faster, apparently
Alright then.

A very good one.
But it's still just a web browser.

Web browsers are just whoever sells you your Burger King (the best fast food retailer ever) meal before you have the luxury of eating. Or waiters, if the website's really fancy.
Internet Explorer is an old man. He's a bit slow, and coughs a lot.
Firefox is a woman. She's Russian, but still pretty. Sometimes she doesn't hear your request in your thick English accent, and so gives you the wrong thing because she's trying to be polite.
Opera is English, however, so you'll get it all right to the pudding. She is ginger, if that stirs you away, though.
Chrome has a large chest. Ugly face, too. Specialises in serving appetisers.
Safari is the cook's daughter.

There was a baseline for WoW, every update since v1.0 probably only broke some small things with mods. With Chrome, there is no baseline, there is a greater chance for changes that will require modders to recode from the ground up etc.

And Safari isn't just available for OSX - you can get it for Windows as well.

Nothing wrong with being a hippy.

As I'm sure I've said before, I have a pretty massive inertia when it comes to switching to a different application brand. It took me long enough to switch from IE to Firefox, don't expect me to switch from Firefox any time soon.

Nothing can beat the customizability via extensions in Firefox.

It's filled with bugs though, please don't use it - it causes hell for fancy ajax.

I'd have thought Safari on Windows and Safari on Mac would render pages the same, since they use the same engine. And I don't have any problems with AJAX on Safari 3 on my Mac

Or Apple are just doing the same as Microsoft did with IE for Mac, and not bothering to really develop the Windows version :p

Pretty much. Safari mostly is quite good, but occasionally has some very weird glitches, mostly specific to the Windows version.

safari was only ever developed for the PC so that PC users could develop web apps for the iphone. now that the app store exists, web apps are ~~a thing of the past~~

I have discovered some new features on Chrome, and it fixes a IE7 colour bug on Kremlin Gifts.

It looks like I'll use more often Chrome. If only it had a better and more comfortable look.

Hey is there a theme for Firefox 3 that makes it look like Firefox 2 on XP? Firefox 2, Reloaded does not look like in the 2nd sample picture :(
