Favorite Browser
 
What is your favourite web browser?

DarkHoodness 04-29-2008 02:40 PM

lol, this'll probably start a browser fan-boy flame war. :P

Anyway, mine's Firefox. It seems to do everything I want.

HOWEVER, later versions seem to lag like crazy and ends up taking shed-loads of memory until re-started. It's something they still haven't fixed after numerous updates. But I have faith they'll fix it soon so I can't be bothered to change browsers to something with less features.

Internet Explorer.

I used Firefox a few times, never really got into it. Haven't used the others.

Wolfie-Dark Steef 04-29-2008 02:49 PM

I've personally only had Internet Explorer, so I guess in all fairness, I'd have to vote for it.
Although, I hear FireFox is pretty good.

Internet Explorer. I have IE and MFF on both my computers, but I think IE is better.

Strike Witch 04-29-2008 09:12 PM

Internet Explorer due to it being default. Also, Firefox fanboys are fucking annoying.

kin37ik 04-29-2008 10:25 PM

i mostly use FireFox because it blocks some pop-ups, but i also use my own home made browser

And Kin, "pop-up blockers" are everywhere, not just on firefox.

And Raider, you missed out Safari (Mac browser)

Firefox because it has the ability to read HTML correctly... unlike IE :p.

LaraRaider 04-30-2008 03:33 AM

I use Firefox beacause Internet Explorer is very slow. And my PC isn't slow.

Anonyman! 04-30-2008 05:14 AM

Firefox is pretty fucking fast, I'll tell you that. IT'S SO FAST IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!1!

Mac Sirloin 04-30-2008 05:17 AM

Firefox: loads slowly, but once it's loaded you can Browse faster.
Explorer: Opens faster than FF, but still slow.

Nate 04-30-2008 12:50 PM

Firefox originally because it has tabs. Now, because IE7 crashes constantly when I try to use it and takes ages to do anything.

I'm using the Firefox 3.0 beta which has all sorts of wierd bugs but is rather pleasant on the whole.

Salamander 04-30-2008 02:37 PM

My life got so much better when tabs were finally implemented into IE.

Chubfish 04-30-2008 03:48 PM

I prefer Firefox over IE.

He's my favourite

Havoc 05-01-2008 02:32 PM

I... don't get it...

Bowser, browser... if that's the joke I'm making you a forum wide target.

DarkHoodness 05-02-2008 12:55 AM

Why is it such a common mis-conception, actaully? I kept getting his name wrong too when I was younger.

Still, Bowser is an odd name.

OddjobAbe 05-02-2008 07:26 AM

Yes. Something like 'Leslie' would be nice instead.

I used to use Netscape. Now I use FireFox.

Strike Witch 05-02-2008 01:33 PM

I call him King Koopa like the Wapanophile I am.

dark_xinos 05-06-2008 08:32 AM

Only dorks use firefox.

Havoc 05-06-2008 08:33 AM

Only idiots use IE.

Yo mamma 05-06-2008 01:10 PM

Firefox is the best. I like it because of the add-ons, My favorite is Distrust :p.

Wil 05-12-2008 05:13 PM

Firefox, without any doubt. No other browser have I ever been able to customize and streamline so brilliantly. Using it, I can specify all sorts of shortcuts that let me reduce visual navigation to next to nothing, leaving almost the entire screen for the Web portal.

I admit, though, to not sampling the latest IE has to offer. Its tabs seem clumbsy and cumbersome to me, but then I’ve never tried to customize them.

Anonyman! 05-12-2008 05:56 PM

Evil tabs, I.E. has. Recommend them, I do not.

Gabrielacf 05-13-2008 03:34 AM

Im a firefox user.
I have it set up rather nice , you know having the staple add ons and what not.
