Best web browser
:newbie:
Well I have been looking for a good web browser for linux and so far my favorite is Opera with KDE's web browser coming in second. I would like to hear what everyone else thinks. so what is your favorite browser. note: I shouldn't say this in a Linux Forum but IE is my overall favorite, to bad they don't support linux. |
IE is my favorit too. So dont worry ;)
And if you include the Google toolbar to IE.....OWNAGE! lol :D btw.. only tried Netscape and Opera on Linux. But I dont use my Linux server for surfing so till now I've just stuck with Netscape there.. |
If I remember correctly, Netscape 6.0 works in Linux as well, which is really nice, I hear, I do not use it, that Netscape 6.0 has a better version of AIM as well for LInux.
I use Gaim, myself, and I stick with Conqueror. Conq is great, I really like it. Later, Oz |
sorry guys, i have a long list of why i don't use IE......
but my favorite browser i have been using the most often would be konqerour... its just overall great i think. |
Don't like IE why? I really would like to know.
|
My browser of choice is Galeon (0.12.1) which is small and fast (as well as having great support for standards).
I don't like IE due to its tendancy to bring down the entire system upon one of its frequent crashes. |
I like Mozilla. Like Netscape, but I find it to be more stable.

I chose IE cause the look and feel of it is the best I've seen.... Maybe some day if I hear an argument that it usefull in any way to me I'd consider using another 1. But that hasn't happen yet.. Same thing goes for Windows vs Linux :D Linux on my server makes sense. Linux on my desktop does not.. |
Opera has my vote! Much faster than NS 6.1 and NO plugin issues!!! More stable than IE and was a whopping 2 meg download. Lightweight and very fast fully standards compliant.

well for one.. i like to do web design and the problem with IE is that it doesn't follow all the rules for the WC3 compliant.
microsoft is trying to corner the market in the web with design techniques that aren't approved by the WC3 people and other web browsers go by these rules.... so look at the web thru netscape or mozilla... anything besides IE and that is how the web is suppose to look.... there are so many sites that can only be seen thru IE because microsoft breaks all the rules and gets away with it most of the time... luckily most designers do design a cross browser compatiblity page for sites.. but why should we have to do that.. if they all went by the rules.. we wouldn't have to worry about that would we.... oh well, that is one of the reasons i don't use IE, even though i still make it so web pages are viewed properly thru it. i don't have any complaints though besides that, it is fairly stable though when using... its just the concept behind it though i feel. no wars please... this is the reason i don't like IE... but have to deal with it cause it is used by 60% or more of web browsers though... but the only reason that is, is this... think about it... 90% of the home pc and desktop world uses Microsoft OS which in turn comes free with IE, so most people think, why should i waste time downloading another browser, when the one here already installed works for me.... ????? |
Yeah.. it's the same reason most worms and viruses hits Windows.. You want any1 to ever get to know what you made then through Windows is the way..
Standardisation is a nice thing though..... that is if you like the standard of course :D |

I prefer Pheonix, which is part of the Mozilla project...
It's smaller and faster than Mozilla, only problem is that it's still in beta |
