Thread: War of the web browsers

I use Opera , FF as well as Chrome and IE [old]

I some how still prefer FF [aint i got a good sense of adventure ]

FF --> My major browsing habits

Opera -->When i need to open a site in a hurry

IE --> Some Microsoft sites open in IE only

Chrome -->An alternative to FF , But i dont use it much as FF keeps me more than happy

Yes. I've been checking it out for some days.

What do you think about it so far ?
It says in the website that, they are using new rendering engine called Opera Presto 2.2. And is going to be 30% faster. Anyway it's good that they included spell checker.

Yes, the speed is really great. Noticeable improvement in speed.
And, saying about spell checker....It is good to have added that. But, the word database is not so good. Anyway, that doesn't matter too much.

Overall, the browser has improved...

Opera 10 Alpha is a little faster than other versions. But still doesn't support scripts much. The spell checker is not as good as Firefox's, but it's better than not having one at all. They have not even tried to improve/modify inbuilt Bit-Torrent downloader after adding it. My Ad-Blocker is working with Opera 10 alpha. So I will give it a try.

Which one ? I'm still using the inbuilt one

I was talking about the inbuilt one too. It blocks all kinds of ads.

i used chrome for the last one month and return back to the firefox again.
because of some missing features and addons.

Chrome was not much a success as it was expected to be.

Hmmm too early to say... No other browser enjoyed so much popularity at its first launch. Situation may change when addons are supported in chrome..

But it has been sometime.
Anyway, let's see what is going to happen.

i dont knwo what others use...but i am using k-meleon and i think its the fastest and the most secure...

moreover, i have just one problem with it(can any one tell about it??) its the new tab,,ie. whenever i make a new tab, i cant figure out where my old tab( previous tab) is..becasue of this i have to just close this new tab and than i get the old tab,,,i am using new window to make my things proper,,,


but all rest k-meleon is the best till now, what i see...and yes it gave me fastest downloads too...

How can u say that FF3 broke a world record during its launch day remember ?

I think Firefox beats all of them! Although i used to use Internet Explorer before, but since using Firefox i don't like Explorer at all!

I now use IE just for updating Windows, and for some pages which work only with it.

The option of FF to have add-ons and the availablity of so many add-ons provide the option to practically build a customised browser exactly suited to ones specific requirements. No other browser currently provide this flexibility.
I'm presently using FF3 with following add-ons
Adblock
Bandwidth meter and diagnistics
cookieculler (for easy control of cookies)
fireftp (to easily connect to office FTP server)
flashgot (in conjuction with stardownloader)
Gspace (to use the unutilised space of Gmail as a online back-up)
IE Tab (to open those irritating sites that do not work in FF)
Indic IME (to write in my mother tongue)
PDF Download (for better PDF file management)
Scrapbook (to directly capture any web-page, edit and save for easy future use)
UserAgentSwitcher (in conjuction with iPhone agent - to open iPhone specific sites)

I use n vote for Firefox but some of the web sites are not compatible with Firefox so have to switch over to IE. But as per security point of view IE is ahead of Firefox.

IE 8 Beta needs few improvements.....:48:

Come on..Firefox is way ahead in terms of security.
Almost websites now are compatible with Firefox.
The only reason I use IE is to download Microsoft Updates...actually even that can be done with Firefox using Add-ons.

i use different browsers for different purposes ...

i still prefer ie7 for general surfing

for forums i use firefox

and for orkut i use google chrome
