What browser would you recommend :)

wow........thank you all for your kind responses. Well the vote seems to be Firefox, Opera and K-meleon . Now I guess I'll have to try them to see which one I prefer. The only problem is that if I don't like one, I uninstall and then have a bunch of junk left in my clean newly formatted pc. Gee I wish I knew which of the 3 are best. I read all the posts and links. I'm still not sure..........Your votes are compelling. I'll have to sort it out I guess. If you have other comments to add, they are very much appreciated and thank you all for all your help.

In that case most votes were for opera so no problem unless u make it one. Looks good,fast,secure,easy,handy,nice features such as memorized tabs,speeddial what else do u want.

 

my.vote is for opera.but after hearing how fast kmellon is i am trying it out and its very fast but i can't open layers with it i click a bookmark and it opens in the alraedy open tab.if i can find out how to open layers.i just mite start using it.more offten.rite now iam using open new layer button and then clicking the link i want to open there must be a better way??

 

Thanks everyone. I can see that the tie is close between Firefox and Opera. Has anyone heard of Maxthon? What do you think of it? I'll be reading and looking and trying these out. About Firefox, if it really needs all those extensions to work properly, how fast can it be? Melle PS" I'Ll also give K-meleon a try to see what's up with that.

 

msmelle,

I used Maxthon since 2003 until February of 2006...
Since that, I'm using Opera and find it much better in all the aspects...

 

I'm tempted to give Opera a try then. I did try it last year or the year before but I hadn't been much impressed over IE. Perhaps I'll give it another try. Thanks Melle

 

FWIW,I have Opera,Firefox,and K-Meleon installed on my computer.
No problems/conflicts.

 

hi.ronjor.i have it set the same way but everything still opens in the same layer.onless i click new layer and then click the link.the version is 1.1.on the forum i read the same way to open layers but no luck for me...

 

Hi gang. I'm trying out Opera at the moment. Plain and simple and no widgets. I'll give it a try for awhile and then I'll see if I like it better than IE6. I don't like IE7 though. I guess it's the tabbed browsing thing I don't like much. Maybe cause I'm not use to it. Thanks Melle

 

hi.ronjor.ya the version is 1.1.and my settings are the same as yours.but i still cant open a new layer after clicking on a link.i hope to work this out i really like this browser..

 

Operaaaaaaahh......just great!

 

I´m using Opera due to these reasons:

Secunia Vulnerability Report: Firefox 2.0.x

Secunia Vulnerability Report: Opera 9.x

/Cerxes.

 

thank.ronjor.i got the answer on the forum.Edit -> Advanced Preferences -> under Category ( left part of display ) click on K-Melon Plugins -> Click on Netscape Bookmarks -> Click on Bookmarks Menu ( right part of display ) -> click on In a new layer ( radio button rather then In the current layer ) -> Click on the Close button

You may do the same for IE Favorites and/or Opera Hotlist.it worked out.thanks for all the help.ronjor.

 

Couple of options...

A- Install & test in frozen state (DeepFreeze)

OR

B- Monitor install of each program with Zsoft. Then, when you are done testing a given program, uninstall it as follows...
1- Uninstall with ControlPanel > Add/Remove
2- Reboot
3- Uninstall again using Zsoft
4- Reboot -- that puppy is ALL gone!

OR

C- Image-then-test-then-restore using Image for DOS (IFD) {NOTE: There are choices vice IFD -- including but not limited to Rollback & FDISR}

 

It works here too.
You may have to shutdown K-Meleon than re-start it for it to work.
That's the way it worked for me.

 

Hi and thanks for your reply. I've read and will be checking your links. Melle

 

I've seen this repeated many times and by members i know very well here. You happen to have a good direct link to this Browser ronjor?

I always used Opera when not running IE, which gets a lot of miles in spite of it's swiss cheese structure. LoL

 

FireFox.

bellgamin suggested K-Melleon so I loaded that one up for about 18 months now. Indeed it is good too.

 

Thanks

Installer on board and ready to deploy.

 

Hello!

This is very intresting thread. I have also now downloaded K-meleon and will give it ago later today.
