| 704118 | 2008-09-11 07:18:00 | I find it hard to believe that so few people use opera. I have just recently started using it. I think it looks the best and is right up there with ease of use. It also has some great features such as the speed dial which keep me using it. | JasonF (11755) | ||
| 704119 | 2008-09-11 09:59:00 | Also if your a torrent user its bloody good (Opera). | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 704120 | 2008-09-11 12:32:00 | I'm about to try them all (on a test PC of course) Currently I just spent time downloading what I thought was chrome, that just turned out to be the downloader for chrome. now I have to sit here while it downloads what is actually chrome (or so they say). Would be so much easier to just link directly to the actual file, rather than waste time downloading a downloader. I already have a downloader, it's called getright. Damn I hate it when people do that. |

| 704121 | 2008-09-11 13:41:00 | I'd recommend Chromium over Google Chrome, same browser but less Google guff. The most recent can be found here (build.chromium.org), grab the mini installer. Actually, you've possibly downloaded all the mainstream Windows web browsers by now so nevermind. |

| 704122 | 2008-09-13 06:12:00 | Opera is one of my favourites, but I still like IE 8 Beta 2 a little better since I do not need to switch to another browser to view certain sites that are IE only. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||

Thats where IETab (addons.mozilla.org) for FF comes in, very useful when someone didn't code their site correctly. |

| 704124 | 2008-09-13 20:44:00 | You can also set IE Tab to switch automatically. Windows Update by default switches, as does .mht files. Windows Update in Firefox FTW :D |

It also has some great features such as the speed dial which keep me using it. its all just a popularity contest with most people. has little to do with the actual browser. while mozilla bean around for ages the mod firefox is relatively new and new things are popular because they are new, not necessarily because they are good. you will have seen on this site many new progs (even while in beta) being pushed as being great even tho older mature progs that do the same job have been around for ages. people like shiny new toys ;) opera has been around for a long time now, its basically regarded as an old dinosaur compared to firefox. opera rocks ! and the multi platform is very handy. same browser on the linux pc and the mobile phone. |

| 704126 | 2008-09-14 06:38:00 | I like IE simpily because of the colour coded tabs, plus its alot harder for people who don't know much about scams to be scammed because the address is highlighted. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 704127 | 2008-09-14 07:26:00 | IE 7verging on perfection. Is ther any chance they will send me a million if I keep saying that? |
