Browser of the Year
 
What browser do you prefer when browsing LQ?

scuzzman 12-30-2004 10:21 PM

LOL - Where's everyone's favorite - Internet Explorer?

codec 12-30-2004 10:54 PM

firefox for graphic mode, lynx for text mode. firefox has a simple interface and sweet features: tab browsing, pop-up blocker, keywords, RSS...

dick_onion53 12-30-2004 10:55 PM

Firefox rules on windows and linux --- down with opera! lol

J.W. 12-31-2004 01:51 AM

No contest - Firefox -- J.W.

masand 12-31-2004 02:00 AM

Firefox for me too

samael26 12-31-2004 02:04 AM

Firefox really rocks ! :D :D

linux_man_2004 12-31-2004 04:13 AM

Firefox is a "speedster" no other browser is so fast as Firefox, and has also all the features of mozilla!

druuna 12-31-2004 04:36 AM

Opera

@scuzzman: LOL

vharishankar 12-31-2004 04:43 AM

What!? Is anyone using anything other than FireFox?!

kevinatkins 12-31-2004 05:50 AM

firefox - no contest, head and shoulders above everything else i've tried...

reddazz 12-31-2004 06:02 AM

This is a bit one sided isn't it?:D Anyway, Firefox rules, I can't see myself using anything else.

aizkorri 12-31-2004 06:10 AM

Firefox, a great job.

jollyjoice 12-31-2004 07:18 AM

firefox, duh!

kimx 12-31-2004 07:22 AM

firefox

darkleaf 12-31-2004 08:23 AM

Firefox. I would really be surprised if it doesn't win.

mjjzf 12-31-2004 09:08 AM

Couldn't we just send a trophy to the Mozilla Foundation and call it off?

reddazz 12-31-2004 09:36 AM

Yeah, I agree with you there:D We may as well not conduct this vote coz the reult is obvious.

I suppose, though it is marginal, let's face it they're all excellent!

dubkat 12-31-2004 01:37 PM

ooh, this is a shoe-in for FIREFOX

OmegaBlac 12-31-2004 01:55 PM

This is a difficult category. Its been a huge year for Firefox and Mozilla but for me, Opera renders pages faster and just feels better IMO. Builtin mouse gestures(I know Firefox can add this also with an extension) is a plus also. I'm glad elinks was added on the selection as that is my fallback browser or when I want to show people that you can browse the web without needing a GUI. :D

xcon 12-31-2004 02:51 PM

FF rules... I knew it was gonna rock from 0.6 to 1.0, and they delivered!!

smyth_94 12-31-2004 04:27 PM

Firefox!

slakmagik 12-31-2004 06:36 PM

Geez. I voted awhile ago but just to help break up the chorus, I'll post to say I voted for mozilla.

There is nothing in Firefox's "look'n'feel" that appeals to me at all, especially in comparison to the look of mozilla with the lo-fi theme and mozilla's more Netscape vs. IE feel. And I like an integrated mail client and browser. So yay for the firefox folks but, as long as there's mozilla, I'm not going anywhere and I can only hope dillo is more finished by the time anything does happen to mozilla. If you want a fast simple standalone browser, dillo is the thing.

zaicheke 12-31-2004 10:19 PM

I used to use Mozilla but i switched to Firefox. It's a much better browser.

slakmagik 12-31-2004 10:25 PM

Wow. I said I didn't like the IE vibe of Firefox and just this minute I come across this.

"I'm developing this on Windows, since that's where the good debuggers and editors are" - Firefox head honcho.

Man. The panel on the top. Now that's <sarcasm>brilliance</sarcasm>!

kesara 01-01-2005 05:36 AM

For a GUI app I use Firefox.
At the console I use lynx. (the fastest web browser)

lsces 01-01-2005 06:11 AM

Firefox will be great when it ALSO gets put back in the mozilla suite where it was supposed to be heading.
Mozilla gets my vote as I *WANT* an integrated package, but I also want Firefox as the browser IN that package.
(I remember the Mozilla team saying that Fire**** was just a project name and would be dropped as soon as the integration happened !!! )

Mega Man X 01-01-2005 06:35 AM

Firefox at X, lynx at console and Dillo on my 166 MHZ Compaq ;). Voted for Firefox.

mysterio 01-01-2005 06:49 AM

I like Firefox and all, but I use mozilla more so I voted for mozilla.

bluesman2333 01-01-2005 08:10 AM

Opera is the best. The features, power, standards compliance, etc., make it my choice.

Snowolf 01-01-2005 10:07 AM

Well, I often use Firefox but for some sites I Lynx because is the fastest and the most secure.
If sites do not use images as an integrant part I use Lynx for all sites.
So I voted Lynx.

eloyj88 01-01-2005 12:10 PM

I love mozilla but I live with firefox :)

student04 01-01-2005 02:19 PM

From reading all the posts... firefox won. No surprise, really.

FAS 01-01-2005 03:25 PM

Opera

AMMullan 01-01-2005 03:28 PM

Firefox :-) Great piece of software...

esteeven 01-01-2005 03:54 PM

I really hope that someone votes for firefox ---- it really is very good and a little undervalued. Come on Firefox.

mikedeatworld 01-01-2005 04:00 PM

hands down - firefox

dARkHunTEr 01-01-2005 04:04 PM

Konqueror.
It's still under development, but in my opinion it's more complete than Firefox. The KHTML/Konqueror developers also react to bugs much friendlier. Example for Firefox: with loads of wishes on bugzilla they still don't want to add a 'new tab' button on the tab bar, and they also don't fix the "http:// without semicolon goes to microsoft.com" bug.

brianopp 01-01-2005 05:29 PM

Firefox
 
FIREFOX... hands down!!:D

asa@mozilla.org 01-01-2005 06:15 PM

hmm. this is a tough one :-)
 
Firefox.

Frybyte 01-01-2005 06:24 PM

chADDo 01-01-2005 06:35 PM

internet exploder
 
I.E. over FireFox?

Nope.

Safari maybe 2nd or 3rd.

JLP 01-01-2005 06:43 PM

Firefox for graphical mode, elinks for text mode

FrozenMist 01-01-2005 08:08 PM

gvsrinivasan 01-01-2005 09:06 PM

dopehouse 01-01-2005 09:10 PM

Internet Explorer is the best....

A little bit of virus in my pc, a little bit of exploit is what i see :D

Kensai 01-01-2005 10:22 PM
