Best Web Browser

t77snapshot · Jul 10, 2009

I'm curious to know if one browser is faster then another? ..or if they are all about the same with only little differences, such as features, security, and user friendly.

So what internet browser do you prefer? and why?

futuremark actually has a browser benchmarker

I use Firefox because it has ad block plus and the google toolbar. It's also just what I'm used to.

Same here

The best browser is whichever YOU like. We can't tell you which one that is. Try them yourself and see which one you like the best.

Personally, I prefer Avant, but that is only because I am used to it and have customized it to my liking. There isn't anything wrong with the other browsers.

Sorry guys, I had to...LOL

Chrome is a few milliseconds faster, but I still prefer firefox on account of the extensive level to which it can be customized to fit your browsing preference.

Oops! I just noticed there was a thread just like this posted back in 5/02 and I also forgot to add an "other browser" poll option.

MRCL · Jul 10, 2009

Well I deciede which browser to install depending on the system.
Opera on my main machine, its secure, and I like the style of it.
Firefox on the laptop, because it needs a light browser that isn't too resource hungry.
Chrome on the Eee PC, simply because it displays just the basics and websites have more space.

Easo · Jul 10, 2009

Firefox. Lack of windows update page is just a restriction from MS.

mrw1986 · Jul 10, 2009

Chrome. Use it on all my machines now. I still keep FF as a backup...but haven't used it since I got Chrome many moons ago.

kylzer · Jul 10, 2009

I.E8 i voted just cause everything works on it as sometimes FF lets me down.

btarunr · Jul 10, 2009

Chrome, because in a bandwidth-starved country like mine, fastest == best.

MoonPig · Jul 10, 2009

Safari for main use, Firefox for Internetbanking and IE for and site that doesn't work on the other two.

I prefer Safari as it seems to blend well with Windows. But i hate IE for that loading time... and it looks bad. Safari also has the history, top pages etc layed out like in the i-phone way. Should be called i-safari tbh.

DreamSeller · Jul 10, 2009

hehe first i used IE then got used to opera and after a time seen many guys sit on firefox but i didnt want to because i really liked opera (but didnt realize how slow it was) and then somehow i reinstalled my os and installed firefox from a random cd and im using it for a long time already

Lynx.

InnocentCriminal · Jul 10, 2009

Firefox every-time for me. Like Shadow said, Ad-Block (Plus) & others such as Flagfox, and adding in multiple search engines is a fantastic feature. Firefox 3.5 give it a shot!

laszlo · Jul 10, 2009

i like firefox also but since i updated to 3.5 i have this annoying bug: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/unable+to+download+or+save+files

and as in the link i can't save or download when i click any download link

i tried all suggested by mozilla even i revert to older firefox version without success

does anyone else have this issue and if yes has correct it?

alexp999 · Jul 10, 2009

I really want to like Chrome, I use IE cus I get fed up of having to flick back to it anyway when a site doesnt work. Firefox always seems buggy to me, and other than IE not working when you right click and copy shortcut, i find not other bugs.

Only things i dont like about Chrome is no Bookmakrs button, i fail to see why i need to waste screen space with a whole bar, I dont need to see it there all the time. And also there is no automatic empty temporary files option like most browers have.

Fix that and im converted, but for now, IE is the only browser that does everything for me :ohwell:
