| 146438 | 2003-05-22 02:10:00 | No comments from me yet, but... Can we keep this clean (Seeing as things can turn nasty...), and can we add: MozillaFirebird and NetScape to the list? Is that okay? Cheers Chill. |

| 146439 | 2003-05-22 02:16:00 | I prefer Opera to IE leaner and slightly faster to respond but both are good in their own ways tried mozilla but not for very long netscape has become to ad orientated | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 146440 | 2003-05-22 02:22:00 | I use Opera because it's slightly faster and <confess> it's not made by the wizards of Redmond</confess>. I think it's a matter of taste really, what you like, what feels good, what it simply looks like. Opera's softer, more rounded, IE is square and sharp. There's a non-geek response. m:Dc |

| 146441 | 2003-05-22 02:24:00 | Never tried Mozilla so no comment on that one. Spent a couple months with Opera,and intitially i liked it,as far as features go its miles ahead of ie,....but,The way the bookmarks worked started to annoy me after a while along with a small number of other things.not to mention its ugly(...........and im shallow).One thing it did have going for it was its speed. Now,the reason i gave up on it was because over half the pages i visit on a reguler basis either didnt display correctly or features of the site simply didnt work(i realise this is the fault of the people behind the sites not because of Opera).....so over time i gradually drifted back to using ie constantly,rather then having 2 browsers running. Had the full java enabled version btw.......... |

| 146443 | 2003-05-22 04:00:00 | My favourite browser is Mozilla Firebird (currently running 0.6) as it is nice to use and has lots of features that I like. Tabs rock. Still use plain Mozilla as well though. One with cookies and the works enabled for the forums. One with them not enabled for general usage. Netscape - went to download it a while ago and saw it was ~30MB with no benefits I could see when compared to the ~10MB of the Mozilla package. Use it at tech though because they don't have Mozilla installed. Opera - nice browser usually install it when I get around to doing some website testing. IE - use it when I'm doing Windows Updates or chatting at ChatF1 because it's a very incompatible site in my experience. Sometimes use IE at tech as well when I can't be bothered waiting for it to load Netscape. |

| 146444 | 2003-05-22 04:18:00 | The main differences between IE and everyone else are new features . IE hasn't really had much done to it for a while (years?) . All the non-IE browsers have tabbed browsing & pop up blocking . Once you start to use tabs, it changes the way you use the browser . Makeing going back to a non-tabbing browser very anoying . The advantages of pop up blocking are fairly obvious and its nice not having to use 3rd party software to do it . |

| 146445 | 2003-05-22 04:29:00 | Well my keeping it clean is not directed at the browsers themselves but how some browsers love to change the standards, since IE has the largest number of users, HTML is specifically written for it basically, and this may mean that other browsers may display your pages differently because they can't interpret an IE only code. Well any browser that works off Linux is a good, wonder why IE is the only one that isn't backing Linux? As for which browser is my favourite, it doesn't matter to me as long as it does what I want, I'm not bothered by which is quicker as I hardly notice it on Jetstream. |

| 146446 | 2003-05-22 06:33:00 | Opera is great, but I have become addicted to the mouse gestures that you can use - so much so that I keep trying to use them when I am using other browsers :D. I have tried Mozilla and it was OK. I have now downloaded Mozilla Firebird which I will give a go just to see what all the fuss is about with it :). Tabbed browsing is definitely the way to go, makes life so much more easier when searching for things. Jen |
