Browser of Choice Poll

You're not secure then.

 

One should not jump to conclusions, unless you know what the rest of his set-up comprises.

 

Another happy Firefox user here

I think my favorite features are the increase text size which IE won't go above largest, whereas FF will (on some sites I need this)

The tabbed browsing is great too, once I got used to it

I mainly switched to FF from IE6 to get away from those darn IE ActiveX popup warnings when I have ActiveX restricted. Annoying to say the least. I ended up staying with FF as it is now my browser of choice.

I also got tired of tryng to teach folks new to security how to secure IE and began recommending FF to them as well. SP2 has helped a lot in that regard, but personally I still prefer Firefox just because it's a nice browser. Haven't tried the others though....no time LOL

 

Konqueror.

 

Opera (registered version)

 

More and more Firefox....less and less IE. Hands down Firefox is winning the useage war in this household.

 

I'm a happy mozilla firefox user here. I still run ie to do windows updates.

 

I suppose I didn't have browser of choice. IE6 was thrust upon me when I started using computer. I did download Firefox but when I read somewhere Firefox doesn't do the complete job and IE6 has to be used, I declined not wanting to be using two browsers when one really does, or have I got it wrong.

 

Mozilla Firefox - Tweaked, is how I get around.

 

How is Netcaptor?

 

I'm using IE, but I would love to get FF again.

I had it once before, but somehow it seemed to not install right.
I kept getting weird error messages, which I don't remember.

So though very tempted...I'm scared to dl again.
I know, it's silly.....

 

here s a nice step by step guide to installing firefox Nat http://www.nidelven-it.no/articles/introduction_to_firefox

 

SC ~ Thank's ! This is what I need - step by step instructions.

You giving me the link is very very much appreciated !

 

you will be fine.... just follow the set up stages quietly . And if you have any queries post back as there are plenty of knowlegable firefox users at wilders.

 

Yes, I think I will.

I am just wondering though (sorry if this is getting a bit off topic!) ~
Can I dl FF before I finally get WinXP 2 ~ or should I wait till after the upgrade.....?

 

No . you can download it with xp1

Thanks. But..err...actually I meant to ask, there won't be any conflicts if I dl
now...and later on when getting XP2 ?

Sorry.

If there's been a thread about it already, please show me the link, as I don't want to further go off topic.

Thanks sooo much !!!

 

not aware of any links to this topic or any conflicts with firefox being on ones system prior to loading up XP2 > . . Push comes to shove and you havent managed to find out whether there has been any conflicts , you could uninstall firefox and reinstall it again after the updates. I loaded up XP2 with a fresh reformat at the time as I wanted to load up process guard and prevx on a clean system. So I cannot say for sure . My advice is take the plunge lol

Once you have firefox up and running you may wish to try Thunderbird email client that is a nice compliment for firefox

 

Oki...I'll just take the plunge.
And I am planning on getting Thunderbird aswell

 

keep us posted ...

 

The new release of Opera 8 was launched today and i going to test this because have many goods riviews in every sites about computers,they claim Opera is more faster than IE and FF are,

 

OHHHHHH my god,Opera is the best browser,(am a FF user and advisor) but this Opera is more fast,look professional,FF look very primitive) oh god Opera made my crazy,i love and i go to buy this browser,men this is a best choice,excuse me Fire Fox,Opera is the best browser i love,i love,i love my first day using it and i falling in love with it...............

 

Good grief! I just finished trialing Opera 8.0beta, not the newly released final version. I must admit that I really wanted to like this thing, but it had two glaring disadvantages, for me anyway.

First, the Popup Stopper has no White List, you either have to have it completely turned on or completely off. Second, ... the cookie manager ... GOOD GRIEF ... why isn't it simple like FF or even IE? Hoping they improve this thing, I can see that it has a lot of potential, but for $40 it should be perfect since all of the others are free. Take care.

ok..now i have my registered Opera 8,i love this and no come back,good things cost money,i pay $40 but i have the best browser right now,i love,i love and i love,

 

Congratulations with your purchase.
I'm also a registered Opera user and like you I love the new version even more.
Have fun with it.
