What browser do you prefer when visiting LQ?

I'd like to vote for Firebird but when I do I get

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

What's that about? Do you want us to vote or not?

Edit - it's working now. Sorry for the spam.

Firebird - fast, functional - simplicity.........

"Phoneix" Phoenix. but then seeing as it IS firebird, should really just be removed all together.

"Phoneix" - ain't that Phoenix? ;) and then: wasn't Phoenix renamed to Firebird?

Opera every time!!

btw I couldn't vote either :(

What happened Epiphany?!? If you think firebird is fast you should try Epiphany. And what about Elinks? :cool:

I had to vote for firebird because it's exactly what I want and nothing more.

Why isn't Internet Explorer on the list.:confused:

Internet explorer in a Linux forum?
My vote is for Opera.
Yes, it's proprietary, and yes, it does use more memory than Firebird, but it does some things that Firebird can't. (E.g. clearing all cookies, cache on exit. Tabbed browsing without the use of a IMHO buggy plugin. A handy thing at the bottom of the screen to tell you how fast a webpage is loading.)

Well if we're talking speed then what about dillo? ;)

Browsers for Linux. IE isn't a native Linux application. If we were here to vote for Windows applications, well, this wouldn't be a Linux forum and we'd also have Office, Dreamweaver and too many others to list in all the other categories.

Regards.

Maybe. But I would not use it as my main browser. I ran into quite a few sites that it was unable to load properly. Haven't had a problem with Epiphany loading any site. Thats the one I'm sticking with for now.

Firebird! When visiting anywhere ;)

I voted for Firbird but if Links/Elinks (not lynx) had been listed I would have had a more difficult time deciding.

I didn't say use as a main browser. I just said if we're talking speed. ;)

I voted for Phoenix, but wonder why Epiphany isn't listed...

I was kidding about the Internet Explorer. Just to let you know that.:p

I like both Mozilla and Firebird - but vited for Mozilla.

Firebird is the best browser on all OSes I use :D - Linux, BeOS and even Win32

Where's galeon?

I used Opera on Windows, but find in Linux Konqueror is all I want and more.

I'll echo several others: that is a strange list. w3m is *far* and away my favorite console browser but links isn't even on there. And dillo is my speed demon and local html documentation browser and it's not there.

But mozilla is the *only* browser I can't live without. :D

The real mozilla (Mozilla 1.6 alpha) - not IE, er, Phoenix, er, Firebird. ;)

Yet another vote for Firebird 0.6 - both under Linux and Windows.

Where's galeon ???

firebird, cause it is not so much overfeatured :)
and blazing fast!

links and dillo :(
Where are they?

Well i use lynx and firebird in the most time(Firebird's amazing displaying USACO Training Program Gateway)

Re: Browser of the Year
 

Gawd Damnit! you haven't got Galeon in there. It's all i use now. I know it's based on Mozilla but it's not the same thing

how could you forget Galeon?

Galeon has been added.

firebird all the way

Hells yeah!

I was a big mozilla person until they brought firebird!

Its light, fast and very compatible, what else to say!!!!!

I'd be curious to know where Firebird is getting its votes from - mainly from ex-Mozilla and ex-Opera users but I wonder about the ratio between the two.

And it's interesting that, if you add up the Mozilla family of browsers it's almost as lopsided as the webserver category. (Well, okay, nothing's *that* lopsided, but still...)

firebird (ex-mozilla user :D), and epiphany for when firebird crashes b/c of bad page code.

Phoenix/Firebird

And if you download a few add-ons/skins it becomes godly.

Links works well and displays much better than lynx, but it isn't in the list. :(

Opera all the way. Windows or Linux. It's what I'm using right now.

Epiphany?

i will vote for Epiphany but since there is no Epiphany i will choose Mozilla

Konq for me. It handles Javascript and Cookies better than any other browser. Its quick, and doesn't tack long to load. Firebird just didn't cut it for me. Nice but misses some important things to control over how it behaves. Just too basic for me. Galeon is good on Gnome.

Thats what I was just about to say ;)

Epiphany is without a doubt the best browser I have ever used

Well, Epiphany is also Gnome's official browser, so its kinda suprising that it isnt on the poll...

Epiphany has been added.

I've even installed Mozilla at my work, where I need to use Windows 2000. I like it a lot better then Internet Explorer.

Jay for mozilla :D

Hey is *mozilla* firebird not simple *firebird*. There is an oss database named firebird (tm)

http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap/branding.html

Firebird all the way!!!

boty -> Mozilla
 

Mozilla: fast, stable, reliable, great features, excellent mail client, using Mozilla since 1.2, before that used Netscape until 4.7, never IE!!!

Mozilla: all I need to browse and communicate on the net!!!

Firebird is only an internal name
 

We have been assured by Mozilla that FIREBIRD is only an internal name for the NEW Mozilla Browser.
Once this project is integrated back into the suite FIREBIRD (The Browser) will cease to exist.
It should not be marketed as a product and should be removed from this poll.
You will find the REAL Firebird on the Database List where it belongs !

Firebird rocks!

This was actually close for me. I am currently using Firebird and voted for it. I also enjoy Galeon,Netscape (nice integrated aol messenger), and Opera.
