How much do you love your browser?

[NuPagady]

What's your favorite browser and how much do you love it? Do you recommend your browser to your friends? Do you put "Get [firefox/opera/etc.]" buttons to your websites?

These guys love their browsers so much that they don't mind spending money on advertisement just to make the flame war about browsers hotter.

Would you do that? What's the craziest thing you've heard anyone did just to express how much they like their browsers?

Firefox for me cant stand IE at all! :hehe:

Been using Firefox since Version 1.0. A close friend told me about it.

:tu: Yes I love and believe in the cause of my browser! :tu:

It irritates me how Microsoft found no reason to modernize its web browser IE6 for years.

Firefox can benefit you, please take a look here.

Yes, it's my website.

:loveyou:

Big Opera fan here....I even registered OperaVSFirefox.com some time ago. I actually started to work on it last week. I have a layout for use and everything ready to go..I just gotta integrate the layout into wordpress.

I love Opera...it's top-notch and I certainly don't keep my mouth shut about it. Also when it was paid software...I paid for 3 licenses.

Opera is superior to Firefox on so many levels it's like night and day. Most simply don't give Opera the chance.

Speed is key..so is the features like Mouse Gestures, built-in Mail Client, RSS Reader, Bit-torrent client, skins, widgets, and voice commands. There is a LOT under the hood of Opera...and guess what. It runs with LESS resources than Firefox.

Opera requires no plugins. It has so much built-in that anyone using firefox is just plain ignorant of Opera.


Now don't make me buy some Google Ads to prove it either.

Big opera fan here also. I used firefox for years, then found out that opera has a built-in email client and switched over. After discovering the newsreader and bittorent client, I am even happier

Of course, as soon as they had toppled Netscape the job was over
ie has been riddled with bugs and vulnerabilities, still ms didn't care with quality coding. I was all about market share.

I am Opera fan too. It has a lot of nice features that make browsing more comfortable. For example I can easily can customize my searches, zoom in/out a page, validate a page in a single click etc.

Opera requires no plugins. It has so much built-in that anyone using firefox is just plain ignorant of Opera.

In favor of Firefox it seems that it's doing a better job of locating and installing plugins when you need them.

I still use Netscape messenger for mail. IMO the Opera mail client is very basic and not a good mail client.

It does? I really should have a look at all the features at some point.
Oh, and congrats on the 1000 posts.

Well, its all I need. The ability to send/receive mail, junk mail filters, and custom folders/filters.

believe me u fall in love with opera slowly.. when i started using it i did not know it even had inbult email client. once u configure it then u do not have to keep outlook or any other program open side by side..
now i store a lot of clippings in that convenient notepad that opera offers. for example, the list of coupon codes, some of my domains that i am looking to sell, list of my usual buyers and more

use it and learn some keyboad shortcuts and u will definately like it

here is something that might interest all opera fans and would be opera fans also. http://www.namepros.com/namepros-info-and-suggestions/312785-namepros-opera-search-plugin.html
i wrote this tutorial but did not get any response . i assumed at that time that there were few opera users in this forum ..

Firefox is the best. I recommend the blue ice skin.

 

[mirrorcube]

One you go Firefox you never go back, unless a site you must use only works on IE.

i can not get myself to use IE, I have been using mozilla for long, but i do like opera aswell, and use it on occasion, it is a fast a bullet loading pages.

Firefox & Flock here :D

 

[gmtfan]

It seems nobody here using Maxthon, a based on IE browser. It's really cool and I modified it my way and add some small my own code so that it really friendly and convinient. This is my main browser.

However, I use many other browsers for coding purpose

 

[smilgy]

i used to use bthat a few years ago

Seems Opera fans understand WHY they love Opera. It's really imho an advanced browser..not that it's difficult to use but if you are on the web for 60+ hours per week you must have the fastest and most proficient tool to browse and that's Opera hands-down.

I know it has IRC client...has anyone else tried the voice commands..they work pretty good actually. Kind of cool to talk to your computer and have it react. The built in mail client is really why I switched from Netscape 4 to Opera (version 4 of Opera at the time)...it wasn't great then...not till Opera 6 was imho Opera the best. That's when they introduced mouse gestures. Once you gesture you can't stop. I do it so often that when I am in regular programs I try to use it and forget it's only an Opera feature.
