Best Web-Browser

Raiden1803 · May 25th, 2004

What Web browser do you use? I only can think of 3 so if i missed any then opps. one of the admins can add them if they want too.

I use Mozilla. started using it because IE was Popup Crazy, Mozilla Seems to have a Built in Popup blocker in it. Rather cool

**Chrono Archangel** · May 25th, 2004

None of the above.
I'm using MyIE2.I find it the best browser. Has everything I need.
You also forgot Opera

Sampah · May 25th, 2004

Ii'm not wrong there's also a thread like this before... well, I'm currently using Microsoft IE6.0sp1 cause I just do fresh resintallation of my window,last time I use myIE2

**Razor Blade** · May 25th, 2004

I use MYIE2. The best I have ever used and I tried em all.

Esturk · May 25th, 2004

I swear we had a thread exactly like this not too long ago... Internet Explorer rocks. I've never felt the need to use anything else.

**_E_** · May 25th, 2004

...those threads keep poping out every now and then...Regardless, my favorite browser is IE, simple and powerful enough for me

Yours,

Opera

**Kane** · May 25th, 2004

I'm not gonna vote at the moment, as my favorite is MyIE2, but I'm using Firefox at the moment because I was asked to try it again. After playing around with extensions for a couple of hours, it's nearly how I want it, but not quite :P

Gamer1 · May 25th, 2004

Mozilla for me

From experience mozilla, netscape and firefox are the same (as both netscape and firefox are based on mozilla). so, shouldn't netscpe, firefox, and mozilla be considered 1?

opera sucks... i hate that browser, mozilla runs circles around it in my opinion

ie6 is outdated, it has been 3 months since i have used that browser.

**Kane** · May 25th, 2004

Yes, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape and Firefox are based on the same core, but they are still different apps, like MyIE2 and Internet Explorer.

Titus03 · May 25th, 2004

Some years ago I liked Netscape, but when I started to use IE, I liked it more. I have tested Mozilla, it was good, but I don't have much experience with it.

WindHydra · May 25th, 2004

MyIE is best and it will get better after XP SP2 comes out, IE will get the web installer blocker

**Katsuya** · May 25th, 2004

I use Opera in my home computer and my cell phone. It says pages render faster then any other web browser. (The latest version- 7.50 is a bit unstable for me)

I want to try another browser I want something just as fast as Opera (but with more stability) I want it to have tab-page browsing and integrated search bars.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

**Kane** · May 25th, 2004

Give Firefox a go. It's Mozilla core, fast, has tabbed browsing and is stable for me. My guess is that you don't want to try MyIE2 for some reason tho.

e-ternity · May 25th, 2004

go MyIE2!
woohoo
yeah!
haven't really tried other browsers... but don't really need to since
this one's fine for me

**Katsuya** · May 25th, 2004

Thank you Kane-Sama, most members here,say good things about Firefox (is it close to Opera?)

As far as MyIE2 goes. What is it like?

Also which one has the best rendering speed?

-edit-

Firefox is still beta?

Firefox. It's fast, spyware-proof, does everything I want, blocks all ads on websites and pop-ups, built-in download manager, has tabs which makes browsing tons faster, supports alpha PNGs... I'll NEVER go back to inadequate IE!

**Katsuya** · May 25th, 2004

Sounds good! Anything else I should know before I jump in?

**Kane** · May 25th, 2004

MyIE2 is basicaly a modification for IE that adds increased protection, tabbed browsing, increased speed and popup/ad blocking. As far as the spyware thing goes, you should have spybot S&D on you machine anyway, realisticly, and that blocks a lot of IE exploits.

I don't know how close Firebird and Opera are as I haven't used Opera in ages.
As far as speed goes, on my current (~56k) connection, Firefox is far faster than MyIE2, but when I was on broadband, last time I tried it (Mozilla that is) I found the opposite to be true.....
