| 362904 | 2005-06-11 02:31:00 | This article (news.com.com) reports a squabble between Opera and Firefox for the mantle of "PC World Best Browser of 2005". Ugh! I guess a case of fatheadedness comes to the best of them. Don't they realise that people can have both (they're free, accessible and run on almost all platforms)? And who reads these "best of whatever" awards anymore? |

| 362905 | 2005-06-11 02:43:00 | i certainly don't listen to any "best of whatever" awards. if you look at how most of them are done it just PR bull. no-one ever clarifys what the term "best" actually is. ie is its best speed, best features, voted best by firefox fan boys or simply voted best by people who have never tried (or heard of) the other products. | tweak'e (69) | ||

| 362908 | 2005-06-11 03:53:00 | For what it's worth, here are my criteria for rating "best", in this order: security > stability > support > open source > functionality > speed, small footprint > eye candy. | vinref (6194) | ||

| 362912 | 2005-06-12 21:38:00 | There was a fight to see who was the best?? For what it's worth, here are my criteria for rating "best", in this order: security > stability > support > open source > functionality > speed > eye candy . IMHO: security == any browser not based on I . E stability == Firefox or Opera support == Firefox open source == any browser not based on I . E functionality == Firefox or Opera speed == Konqueror, Opera, Firefox eye candy == Firefox (cool logo and themes) |
