Safari is the worst Marv. Dont you get sick of how slow and clunky it is? Try FireFox and you are never going back. It is by far the best browser out there.

IE. Does that make me a real loser?

I used to use Netscape Navigator back in the day (i.e. 7 years ago when I was still in college) Do they even make that anymore? Now I use the browser that came with my SBC Yahoo DSL package. Don't laugh, the pop-up blocker kicks @ss on this thing.

Firefox all the way. I do believe it is better, especially with the tabbed windows and plugins you can load.

Fish, right now, I can only think of 1 o 2 sites that don't work well with FF. In any case I have an extension that allows me to open in page in IE with a right click. Also I have another one which blocks Java and flash unless I give permission. That pretty much solves everything, but I do agree when I first started using FF there were many sites that would not load properly.

Heavy? Long time to load?

I used Opera before FF because I hate IE.

IE is dangerous because it is always hacked.
Firefox has a built in pop up blocker, I haven't seen a popup in years, can use tabbed windows, plus a number of other cool extensions. I love FireFox. In a little while it will own the market.

Agreed! Extensions give Firefox a huge advantage over all other browsers. The knowledgebase and the massive community support forums make it the best supported piece of software on the net. Since its open source, any known exploits are immediately patched and made available for the public.

Safari is the default MAC browser which is really really clunky! You dont want to even try it. FF is much much better. Gunsnewing would'nt give IE up for the longest time. After using FF for 5+ months, he cannot live without tabbed browsing.

They make Netscape. Its still a suite. If you are worried about popup blocking try AdBlock, Greasemonkey and NoScript extensions in FireFox. You will have complete control of every single piece of third party code on the page.

As of right now, this is my only beef with FF. Some of my favorite sites dont render correctly in FF. The ultimateknicks forum actually gives me some crap when I try to put a smiley or quote selected text.


I dont think FF is that much bigger to load than IE and the RSS reader, the bookmarking and the phenominal tabs make up for the extra seconds wait. I'm big on FF
