Preferred Browser

I love to test software and recently I've been testing Netscape 8 (beta) and Opera 8.0. I haven't used Internet Explorer for a couple of years due to security issues and the fact it's buggy (like so many Microsoft products). I love Netscape 7.2, but since testing Opera 8.0, I now cannot decide which one to use regularly. Opera seems to load webpages much faster. I swear it's on speed!!

What browser do you prefer?

I use Mozilla. It's pretty close to Netscape, but has a few more adjustment options. Sometimes sites wont load on it though, and I'm forced to use EI. I still like it though.

I use Mozilla Firefox. I used to use Opera, and before that Netscape. Yep, Opera is definitely a fast little b*gger, but I kept having issues with it not displaying web pages properly and freezing up on me. I am so totally happy with Firefox!

Boring "Internet Explorer" here...

Me too Rigel!

I like Avant Browser.

I use Opera. Firefox and Netscape are both Mozella based, and they don't have the capability to view a lot of websites properly. When I first started on the Internet, I used Netscape, then I found out the difference when I started using Internet Explorer. However, because Explorer is not so secure, I was told that Opera was the best and the fastest browser and it is, plus it has the capabilities to view websites the way they were written to be viewed.

yep i have internet explorer

i use firefox, but i too have to use Internet explorer for some webpages

Firefox for me.

Mozilla Firefox.

I use Firefox because of the nifty cat theme that you can download to go along with it- ok, not really, but it is cute! Especially when the cat bounces the ball when a page is loading.

I like Mozilla's ethics. It's really the same reason that I use Open Office and will eventually use Linux. I like the ethics behind that whole movement.

The only time I use Internet Explorer is when I'm taking an online class. For some reason Firefox won't let you copy and paste onto Moodle (an online classroom program set up similar to a message board) unless you happen to be good with computers and can figure out how to get past it.

Just in case any of you Firefox users haven't seen this:

The cat theme!

Their description: Eye candy for all cat lovers! Turn your Firefox into Firecat and browse in peace and purrfection.

Opera here -- both at home and in my office -- despite the fact that the office standard is IE. Fortunately our IT guy is just as anxious about Microsoft's security issues as I am, so he doesn't give me any grief. (That also means he doesn't give me any grief about using Eudora instead of Outlook. )

I didn't know version 8 was out. How is it?

I really like it. I've had various versions of Opera before, but never could "part" with Netscape. Version 8 just really seems to load pages extremely fast and the pages seem to display as well as IE so far. When I reply to a post at TCS, Netscape took like a minute to load the window, but with Opera, it loads in about 10 seconds or faster.

Internet Explorer

I use Internet Explorer, but I just downloaded Firefox to try it out.

Oooo....I like Firefox, it's so cool! but how do I load the cat theme? I downloaded it, now what?
