is the Chromium in linux the latest version?
the Chrome in windows often has updated version.

Opera. I've been using it forever and have stuck with it forever despite occasional browser hopping. Why? It's quick, it's clean, the interface is simple and consistent, and it isn't distracting or overbearing, it has multiple innovative features not present in other browsers and continues to innovate to this day (however, development doesn't seem nearly as exciting as it used to be).

I mean, when browsing LQ we are already revealing our browsers to you via your own server access logs.
I do hope none of us are using browsers/OS other than the ones we are voting for!

So - to come clean - I am using Opera this visit;
But I use Chromium for (Ajax-intensive) Gmail. So if I click on an LQ link in an email from you, I stay in Chromium.
-If I ever want to find out more about how LQ's site works, I'll use Firefox
-If the wireless reception out here in the bush ever gets much worse I'll install lynx
-And if I decide to reposition my 1.5 mm satellite dish, I have to take my XP/IE6 netbook.

As far as I know, browser installations sit happily alongside one another on Linux. What's more, they're free.
It's obvious we'll all have our favourite. So all this loyalty surprises me a bit.

Keep up the good work

This year? Chromium.

Firefox and Opera are great browsers but they have had years to improve and adapt to the changing face of the web. Chrome(ium) is another great addition to the Linux browser arena, and it's very, very fast - what's not to like?

Note : I was going to vote for opera, but not this year. Opera has started doing something I have never experienced since version 6, crashing.

Chromium on Linux, but Chrome on Mac. Used to be a huge fan of Firefox, but from my very informal performance tests (i.e. glancing at CPU/memory usage occasionally and vaguely noticing page load times) I get much better performance from Chromium. Cookies are handled the way I've wanted from other browsers for years. The main thing I miss about Firefox is vimperator.

Seamonkey is integrated with email, more powerful than firefox.
But firefox's addons are more than Seamonkey.
IS Seamonkey the continuation of Netscape?

MAC own browser is Safari.
But Safari for linux version is not available.

Sigh... I remember when Netscape was just a browser...

I'd say SeaMonkey is a continuation of Mozilla Suite.

Please stop being so negatve people? He or she was just simply state their opinion. The posts do not effect the poll at all. And if we are not allowed to post what is on our minds, then what is the point of freedom of speech?

my mistake.
seamonkey is mozilla browser integrated with email.
seamonkey is functionally strong but the appearance is not as Sexy as Firefox.

Did you even bother to read why that post was ever made? If not, please go and read.

Firefox because of the reliability, speed, and addons.

My apologies to Jeremy about posting out of topic, this will be my last reply unless specifically browser based.

Yea I did, and that poster was most likely a newly "converted" Windows user that is just getting into Linux, and hence was making a comment based on how used to Windows they are, and software is software no matter how you look at it. That is why Firefox runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. And the first time I used Linux firefox looked so hideous to me that I kinda missed IE (given the fact that I was young and did not know even half about computers as I know now). But I found Chromium and all was made well :-)


I did not mean any offense by commenting about the negativity comment, cause I was meaning it in general. As it seems lots of very experienced and well versed linux users seem to be very and completely against anyone who says they like anything but linux. I loath and despise Microsoft for their business practices and will do my absolute best to never buy another windows PC again (not even any used if possible) But I would really like to have a Mac for the experience of using it, the various software it has, and the build quality of the hardware. Most likely will dual boot though :-P As open source advocates we have a duty to be open to everyone and everything. If there was a plugin that was developed for firefox on linux, it should and must be made available on all the OS's including Windows and Mac. Otherwise it is in essence closed. If so many Linux users look down on other non linux users, it gives its users and Linux and open source in general a bad name in the general publics eye.

Actually Chromium could be considered an alpha release of Chrome: it is compiled, every time that changes are submitted, by a bot. Ultimately, this causes the builds to be highly bleeding-edge.

Two issues:

1) It is very easy to change a browser string. In other words, it is possible for a browser to identify itself other than what it really is.

2) Some of us use a variety of browsers for different reasons. The browser I am using to post in the forum today may not be my favorite browser.

I agree! I loved the Mozilla Application Suite. So it is probably why I like Seamonkey so much today!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The wonderful aspect of FOSS is we do have quite a variety of choices among many browsers.
