Title: Web Browsers
Post by: Zoratunic on September 16, 2007, 06:46:12 PM
This has a little to do with Tacheon Black's thing in his sig that tells you info about your computer. I was just wondering what y'all use. I normally use IE 6, but I'm installing 7 now, plus I also have Firefox 1, but I don't use it often.

I use Mozilla Firefox, version 2. I used to use Opera, but I got hacked off at it.

IE? Ever tried using firefox? I notice that there are certain differences when you view the site and forums with FF.

I mainly use Firefox v.2 for the handy inline spell-checker, but Opera is also quite good.

Internet Explorer sucks. Any version. They all suck.

I liked how Opera gave you the option to start up where you left off before you stopped browsing, but ever since Opera screwed up and wouldn't let me do anything to fix it, I've used Firefox ever since. Plus, Firefox is more widely used than Opera, so it's compatible with more websites.

By the way, the Wii isn't a web browser. I believe it uses Opera, but I could be mistaken.

Well, now I'm using IE 7, and I'm a little confused, being used to 6 and all.

I have Internet Explorer 7.  For some reason though, it won't let me check my mail, so I have to use Firefox for that.

FireFox:
Say if you're typing up a real long post or something, and you're computer shuts off due to a storm or malfunction. It will save the page of what you're currently viewing, and all tabs connected to it, and wait for you to return.

FireFox:
Has an automatic spell check system.

FireFox: PWNS

I use Safari...  ;) Though the main reason for that is that it's simple and doesn't need customising. I'm kinda lazy.

I used to use Safari. When they released a version for Windows, I tried it out. It's not too bad, really, but some webpages, this site, for example, get a bit messed up.

Well, since I'm currently using a Mac laptop it comes with the computer. So I just use it for ease of access. By the way, I've seen the PC version of Safari. It's quite horrible looking and limited in my opinion so...

Fiyah Faux. Version 2, to be exact.

Firefox seems to be pretty popular so far... I guess people have finally seen the foolishness of using Internet Explorer. After all, version 6 was just full of security weak spots.

And Davros, I envy you. I want a Mac so bad...

I've used a few of them at the Apple store... they're awesome. Too bad they cost twice as much as a typical laptop...

Anyways, I've used four... no, six web browsers, I think. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, the web browser that came with our DSL, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. I just thought that warranted mentioning.
