which brower are you using?

DíäMäNTé · Jul 25, 2007, 05:50 PM

Got sic and tired of IE and switched to OPERA a year ago wondering how many have made the switch..

H3X4D3C1M4L · Jul 25, 2007, 06:21 PM

Opera. Perfer it over any other browser available.

Quite a few people have made the switch to FF because its become the trendy mainstream thing to do. REAL h4x0rz use Opera or Konqueror.

Dig: Opera's so damned efficient Nintendo picked it to use for its Wii Internet channel!

Zelig · Jul 25, 2007, 09:27 PM

Opera, since 5.12.

Asmoday · Jul 25, 2007, 09:40 PM

I have used Opera for quite sometime, I even payed for a license back when it wasn't free...

IEMC · Jul 25, 2007, 09:47 PM

FF because it kicks the crap out of IE, and Opera is the same thing in my eyes.

**temeteus82** · Jul 25, 2007, 09:54 PM

FF for me

Necrosis · Jul 25, 2007, 09:58 PM

FF - content blocking w/ Opera is a pain.

Using FF for the same reason. Plus there's a lot of useful plugins I use that is available for Firefox, but that are not a part of, or available for Opera. If they were, I'd probably use it.

RoyBatty · Jul 25, 2007, 10:06 PM

Maxthon. I haven't found anything better so far

H3X4D3C1M4L · Aug 30, 2007, 05:45 AM

Content blocking in Opera is far more effective if you configure it right

Also no need to download 208375925679256892757925 plugins. Browses faster too.

But I think we all lose sight of the fact that IE is just plain bad and anything else can only really be a vast improvement

Opera since 7 something version.
About 5% of the time I use Netscape and IE. Not because I can't do it with Opera, but because I have some other reasons.

Mug3n · Aug 30, 2007, 02:50 PM

FF + No Script plugin here!

PangingJr · Aug 30, 2007, 02:51 PM

my favorite Firefox builds can load most of the web sites i often visit faster than Opera these days, however, my real favorite web browser is Opera since version 3.xx on an older version of Windows NT and variety of OS's. as of now i use Firefoxes, Opera and IE, set default web browser to IE.

mkk · Aug 30, 2007, 06:29 PM

Avant, which is IE driven. Though not the 11.5 versions since I felt came out of the beta stage too early. I prefer using the IE engine and Avant has some things that I've gotten used to.

Opera installed as secondary and I could see myself moving over to it eventually.

Opera + admuncher kill.

I've got my admuncher counter running since March, 2003, probably 90% of that under Opera.

Anyone using Vista and Opera with the default skin, try the windows native skin included with the browser instead, it's much more consistent in the interface, I much prefer it to the standard skin after using it for a few days.

Falstaff · Sep 2, 2007, 01:02 PM

Opera...
no matter what everyone else thinks..LOL

Callandor · Sep 6, 2007, 12:45 PM

IE 6 & FF, I hate IE 7, it sux0rs so bad. I haven't really used Opera for long periods of time but it seems like a pretty good browser, my brother used to use the Opera Mini Browser on his sony ericsson w850i but around this part of the world it's hella alot more expensive than using the phones regular browser, hidden charges and things from the way the browser browses I guess, it must have been sending information between his phone and the network coz he never configurered it properly in the start, I warned him lol.

mkk · Sep 8, 2007, 03:48 AM

Just moved over to Maxthon from Avant. I'm glad to be using Maxthon again seeing how I was once "driven away" from it by some hardcoded behaviours, which are now configurable or just done "right". Maxthon also seems to have a more efficient and problem free core code, or it might just be that it does better together with the IE7/Vista engine.
