Browser of the Year
 

What browser do you prefer when browsing LQ?

I use Firefox

I use firefox

A minor point, but there shouldn't be a space between "Sea" and "Monkey".

I'll definitely be voting for SeaMonkey when the poll opens.

Fixed - thanks.

I haven't voted on anything yet, because I can't.

All it shows is the results

As per https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...d.php?t=514928 voting isn't yet open. This is a handy preview so you can see what the voting will be for and to query any of the options. Tomorrow (31/12/2007 or 12/31/2007 if you're weird :)) is when voting opens.

Firefox has my vote although I've used lynx on occasion when I mess up X and need information. ;)

I hope we don't have to wait a whole year to vote for the 2006 winners.

I mainly use IceWeasel, and as a Debianite, I'm not comfortable choosing Firefox so I picked SeaMonkey, even tho it's really IceApe.

Been using FireFox for years. I see no reason to choose anything else.

Mozilla Firefox

FireFox all the way!

A vote for Galeon here - I can't be the only one?

Do i need to say? Of course Firefox!

why firefox? :) Opera is older development, lightning fast, and well polished now for linux.

Firefox. and I think IE7.0 improved its performance and security, should also be noted.

No source.

Firefox and Seamonkey for suite...

I use Debian - therefore Iceweasel all the way :)

Firefox will win again for sure, but I love opera, I hope it can rank second this year

Firefox/Iceweasel all the way. Why, because it is fast and because of all the cool extensions and themes.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061205 Iceweasel/2.0.0.1 (Debian-2.0.0.1+dfsg-1)

Firefox 2
 

Still Firefox. Nothing can beat it so far. I would miss my extensions and themes. But it would be great if they would at last improve their integration with KDE.

no one chose Internet Explorer LOL

Internet Explorer is for people living in gutters.

Firefox!Firefox!Firefox!Firefox!Firefox!Firefox!
i am hooting for Firefox.

I used Phoenix
I used Firebird
I use Firefox

Fake Edit: Can't remember what year it is :D

Firefox,I haven't other choice. Anyone suggest another better one?

Firefox
 

Firefox is my one and onlyxx

Of the browsers listed, Firefox works best when plugins count, Konqueror would me my second choice because it "just works", except that there are some sites where Konqueror does not work ;)

The others just don't work so smoothly as of now. And the FF-fork..well, it sounds kids games. Firefox ruled last year, and I guess it will this year too :)

firefox is surely a memory monster, but I vote it, I'm familiar it only :(

I vote for Swiftfox (not listed). When I installed version 2.0.1, I found all plugins were installed. I was so impressed by that, I'm going to make another donation soon.

Firefox ;) It there really anything else ? Although lynx has saved me several times.

I voted for FireFox even though I generally use Mozilla/SeaMonkey while visitng LQ. That's because I use SeaMonkey to visit sites that require cookies and FF for sites that do not.

SeaMonkey. Only Seamonkey has "Send Page" option which works correctly. It is so good to have possibility to send home exact copy of some interesting page whenever you want from. Afterwards you can use all benefits of mail search to process such pages collected as e-mails. "Send Link" doesn't cut it because WWW pages change so often and so quickly, links often disappear alltogether, contents later has been censored etc.

Firefox doesn't have "Send Page" despite multiple promises to make it. IE has it but it often does not work correctly.

I have ok with Mozilla.

I vote firefox 2.0, even sometimes i've used flock or opera :p

Firefox
 

I voted firefox! I like its crossplatformness (I guess there is no word like this but I like making word up)! ;)

I voted for Firefox, as it is my main browser. However, special mention to Opera, an excellent and fast browser. I also re-discovered Konqueror recently, since I installed KDE after years on Gnome, and it is not too bad. But Firefox definitly leads...

I don't see how this can be a reason to choose Firefox over all the other options there, given that most of them are cross-platform!

Firefox, extensions galore!

I love Epiphany! It just has all I need, nothing more, nothing less.

i agree i agree i agree.fast and light and the pages seem to look better for some reason. My only issue was getting some plug-ins to work(namely mplayer) however that is taken care of now

Usually I use Firefox. (A bit more convenient and, maybe, functional than Opera) What I miss there is switching of there those macromediaflash adds (In between, when several pages are loaded with those stupid animations, that consumes all the CPU). Mainly annoying advertisements made with that flash, which spoil the eyes and make the headache, so I have no choice, as to rename those flashlibs in order the browsers could not find them, and the life changes for better. Another possibility I miss there - is viewing easily pictures from the filtered out (for images) sites (sometimes I DO WANT to see a picture - and it is not convenient). Also, "restore new session"-invention in the last version is annoying enough (it is not done correctly). Anyway, thanks for the developers (and sponsors;-)( - and still I use the product ;-)))

Firefox as it manages profiles better than the others and in deed you can share profiles between other OSs installed on your system such as windows. Then there is the extension data base.

firefox all the way

Opera here. I use it both on linux and windows. I know it's inns and outs. I don't like IE at all. The 6.0 version doesn't even have tabs!. Firefox is also a good browser, but I haven't used it much.

Firefox, konqueror coming in next....

Swiftfox!
 

But seeing as that's a friendly fork of Firefox with some CPU-specific enhancements for speed, I voted Firefox. ;)
