Alternative Web Browsers

Thu Aug 18, 2005 7:34 pm

Safari is the most annoying piece of junk I have ever witnessed. What if I don't want to change the ruddy keychain? Is clicking eight notifications good enough for you?? Also, it shuts down at random but frequent intervals, as does Netscape. Safari is the pure-electric car of web browsers.

Firefox is about exactly like IE, except better protected and with a cooler icon. So I use that.

I love Mozilla.

I hate Safari. it must DIE.

Mozilla. It's what I use. ^^

I used to use Netscape as my primary browser and IE as my secondary. However, I've grown tired of the number of sites that don't support Netscape (or just look terrible when using it), so I've switched to using IE as my main and use Netscape as a secondary browser, mainly for mail.

I've been considering Firefox, as that's what my husband uses, but I haven't made the switch just yet.

Firefox all the way. It's simple and safe. Also, I love the tabs.

IE 7 (whenever it actually comes out) will have tabbed browsing, so Firefox won't have that over IE anymore. Firefox is my preferred, though, because of goodies like the skins, and the frequent updates.

That, and it's standards-compliant, which is always nice.

I only use IE. I'm thinking about getting Firefox, though....

Same here but I don't think I'll do that until I get my own computer, and along with getting Firefox I'm gonna do a buttload of things to it.

Firefox is safer, however.

And regular Mozilla actually has tabs. :) I'm running them right now.

I use Firefox as my primary browser and Opera as my secondary browser. I'm indifferent to Safari and normal Mozilla is alright though I dislike its bulk, I only use that on the uni computers really.

Ah, Opera! That was the one I was forgetting. Some subconscious portion of my mind was probably doing it to keep those infernal Andrew Lloyd Weber songs out of my head, because Eo just won't stop it with the Phantom of the Opera stuff and-my-brain-has-to-resorttodrugabusetocopeandthedrugsonlymakethepsychadelicscenesinthetitlesongcomealiveanddsdfdifhferdfhuwifxfgtdvfgcvblmhgd......

Hi.

I use AOL, and also IE...never used anything else before except Netscape on one occasion. And netscape sucked.

Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:21 pm

I use netscape the most often.

Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:27 pm

I don't know, I hardly use anything except for IE.

I've used Netscape before but didn't really like it. I've heard of FireFox, but never used it, but I think it has protection against viruses and all that, so yea.

But I'll refrain from randomly voting, since I really don't know.

I like MSN Explorer best. :)

Mainly because it lets you view graphics just as IE, but it's private.
Mozilla is ok too, I use it for posting on the boards. :P
