Browser of the Year

Just got done taking Midori for a little test drive. Still under "heavy development" and "tends to crash due to bugs in WebKit" but I really like what I see thus far. Finally a modern lightweight alternative to the bloat that has become Firefux... Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this puppy:-)

webkitgtk library has too much glitches to be seriously used for now. It doesn't even handle correctly focus or menus, but still quite promising.
We are in a big debt with the webkit/gtk developers as webkit is good and pushes Mozilla to think further.
However, I personally wonder if I'll abandon vimperator for such an "improvement".

Interesting... although I think they will still be friends. I hope FF starts to use Chrome's JavaScript engine, it's the ONLY multi-threaded engine.

This was a difficult one.

Recently I found myself tired of having my browser use all my CPU so I decided to let go functionality in the name of performance.

I now use Epiphany and I barely miss any functionality and frequently use Links2 when I don't care about rendering.

I still have FF handy for the odd situation.

All in all I voted Epiphany.

firefox 2 is smooth. In time firefox 3 might be the best choice, at the moment I don't see the advantages.

only Firefox

FireFox all the way.I don't even have to close the webpages I use almost everyday anymore.I load fire fox and it loads all my pages.

Thanks for tip, i didn't kow that. I mostly use Firefox, because it is default browser with Ubuntu, and best for XP, IMHO.
But Seamonkey got my vote, because it seems faster.

FF....

Hard to vote against FF but IMHO Opera advanced a lot this year. I'll give 'em my vote for the good progress. SeaMonkey's not bad either.

Chose FireFox or Seamonkey
