Firefox 1.5

Voted for lynx although mostly using Konqueror. Lynx is lifesaver when you don't have X drivers

I used to love Opera, at least since they've removed the banners. However, the past week I've tried the latest Firefox with the mouse gestures plugins and I'm not sure which one I prefer now ^_^

firefox since the first relase, now 1.5

Firefox, because
- it´s highly customisable with tons of extensions
- it uses GTK+ -> fits to my Gnome-Desktop
- I can also use it at work (under Windows)

I use Firefox for the most part, but the memory leaks sure make it a hassle sometimes. I am hoping that they fix this problem soon. Other than the memory leaks, I think Firefox is a great browser, and is the first browser to really take serious marketshare away from I.E.

Gotta love the extensions and the fact that you can tweak just about everything about it to the way you want it.

Firefox for me, because of it's increasing popularity on Windows. It's getting the phrase 'open-source' into people's minds, resulting in more interest into Linux and other free software.

Firefox.
I'd use Konqueror the KDE comes with, if it was as fast and feature reach as Firefox.

I would say Opera. I has lost its adds, is soon to be on the nintendo DS. It is fast, pretty, and really good.

Even though i enjoy the live bookmarks, firefox is still a memory hog. That hasnt changed.

I'm going to keep using firefox, but i think Opera deserves the award

cerealkillerrsd · 02-17-2006, 07:11 PM

I vote for Opera

Firefox is great - It blocks the bad stuff, updates itself, and has cool plugins, extensions and themes!
