gui10,

Dude!,

Opera!

Finegan

aaaiiiiii! i forget... :cry:

um... i'll have to ask the moderator... i'll have to report this post to the moderator myself! :p

moderator of this forum... could u add Opera to the list above pls? thkS!

hey! trickykid is in charge here... surely he will change it for me...
hey trickykid! could u add Opera to the list please?

(wonders if trickykid would notice...)

heh,heh by the time opera gets added to the poll konq should be in the lead :D

sorry about that.. would have gotten to it earlier, but i drank a little too much last night, just now waking up out of my coma..
but OPERA has been added. :D

thanks... anyway, konq has pulled into the lead... lol

Not any more...

:cool: Galeon :cool:

Unfortunately, I cannot access the internet through Linux as my ISP is coughAOLcough...So I am an I.E. user. If though when I did have access to www in Linux, twas by far happiest with Galeon...

tazzy... hey no worries... it's about choosing your favorite web browser... not the one you're forced to use... :) (just like how most of us have to dual boot coz we want games! doesn't make Windybozo our favorite operating system :) )

interesting... i suppose these numbers are quite local to this forum... but here's my 2 cents on what's going on so far...

i believe gnome vs kde users would more or less represent the galeon/konquerer divide...

and i'm guessing the rest are either using other windows managers or not too comfy with a non desktop-independent browser.

and whoooo! i never knew lynx could be anyone's fav browser... i use it only when i have not much choice... lol... who voted lynx? ;)

Don't anybody knock the Lynx! It's saved my bacon a few times :)
I do think it need a new name though,
it should be called...."ohnoI'vef******myXserverthankgodfortheLYNX"

i heartily agree!
it saved my bacon when i made the transition from redhat to slack... hoho.... i wouldn't have been able to come to this forum for help if not it...

...one more vote for opera.

hm... according to this small poll, looks like netscape ranks right abreast lynx... hohoho!

mozilla has pulled into the lead at this point... 7 votes!... lol
apparently, galeon uses mozilla's rendering engine... but i just can't resist the little foot on my desktop panel... lol
plus i think the performance is better on galeon...

hm... haven't used opera though... ought to try it soon...

Well, opera wasn't up yet... and I had to vote... I use it a lot at work to read the forum when snoopy twerps from work are leaning over my shoulder that animated gif of the arm bashing the laptop over there on the left looks rather conspicuous.

Cheers,

Finegan

ho ho ho... i see...

santa is a linux geek?

well exactly... opera is for girls!

well.... there should be some penguins clustering around where he lives... ;)

the galeon votes seemed to have stalled... :p

The alledged "santa" lives in the Arctic and penguins live in the Antartic...poles apart so to speak...:p

ah pardon my Klatchian!

i thought this santa guy originated from the netherlands?

in any case, it's still geographically inaccurate for me to have said anything about penguins...

oh well, it's back to the dinghy life... :p

vote for NETSCAPE !

Vote for opera :)

Hey,

Just thought I would put my vote in... Opera just kicks butt!

Yay...go konq :D

again.. shadowhacker likes opera. told you it was for girls! bet trickykid voted for it too...

but quite who would vote for netscape is a mystery for me. certainly mozilla instead of that, and then galeon over mozilla...

coincidentally... are there any gecko based browsers on kde yet?

personally, i prefer read html streams manually....

OK bluecadet,

Opera is great web browser! It has never crashed on me, is available for almost every operating system I run, clean and effecient, it provides stats on your performance, and it is extremely fast at booting up and rendering.

Why do you say it is a girls web browser?

Opera for girls? Wouldn't know, haven't ever used it but hear it's great! I may have to d/l it and see what she's all about. Netscape is so resource hungry it'll eat the whole machine and Mozilla is the same thing, although back in '92-'93 netscape was actually created on the mozilla engine. I.E. nothing to say here, i use it, could be better. konquerer is fairly nice as is Galeon. But that's just the interface and where most of the bloat or lack thereof comes from. Everyone has a preference, what constitutes girlishness of a browser really?

I telnet to port 80!

I like it when my friends get in the vi/Emacs war and I start yelling Ed forever.

God that was geeky. Okay, I might have missed it, but me and the guy sitting next to me voted for Lynx... so who was the 3rd?

Cheers,

Finegan

well, i don't like opera and both the renowned ladies voted for it... seemed like a good enough put down to me! :D

I tried opera on windows and linux and yeah it was stable, but i don't think it supported java when i tried it, and it just seemed so utterebly drab interface wise. not sure why really. i didn't like the tabs, but now i think they're one of galeons strong points...

I quite liked opera the one time I tried it......but there was no way that I was going to pay $80 to get rid of the adds.....I hate adds......did I mentioned that I hate adds?

and when people spell 'ads' wrong and keep typing it... ;-)

yeah the commercial side of it is a bugger, but isn't the linux one ad-free from the start? i thought it was. can't remember now

well first off, i don't use opera, so i can say i never voted for it... second, can't really say its a girl browser just because 2 girlies voted for it.. and it is ahead, so clearly guys are using it too.

And I spell colour with a "u".

huh? why wouldn't you? only a total twonk would spell it without a 'u'.

that's one of my biggest grudges against programming GUI's and so forth... i have to spell colour wrong in order to make the thing work... i could write a wrapper for it but somehow.... no.

I voted for Netscape. I've always seemed to
flip-flop between IE and Netscape in the
past. Since installing Linux, however, I've
gotten very fond of NS 6.2. I tried Opera 5
yesterday too -- it seems pretty neat.

What exactly is a 'twonk'? And are there degrees of twonk? For example your 'total twonk' as opposed to other twonks? Like a half twonk, or even a quarter twonk if only your grandfather was a twonk? Am I actually BEING a twonk right now? I know I can be a complete yahoo fairly easily.:D

haha, being english can so kick ass on the net at times. you really can't touch us for insults...

mingwah

so... according to the gospel of bluecadet, all americans are twonks?

Thanks Tricky for sticking up for us :p





I love Opera over the others I have heard here. I am a speed demon, and Opera is the only one that seems to be able to keep up.





And Blue, Opera now supports Java.



And BTW- spelling color as colour is actually the correct way of spelling it. There are two forms of English.. the English way, and the American way.



Unfortunately, many Americans think that everything should revolve around them, so they like to change things. However, if you ever studied the English language, you would find that we spell many things incorrectly even by our own standards. But unless you want to start a war, or at the very least get in trouble for correcting a teachers (cough, cough),dont ever try to point that out :)

OPERA!!! It handles the Netscape plugins that Netscape themselves couldn't handle. Fast and stable. Not only is it multi-platform, it is multi-gender! :-)

Edited due to multiple posting of same post.

OK people....


Where is Dillo?? 0.7.2 is out and beats the snot out of Galeon as far as speed. Granted don't ask it to do anything complicated yet... but soon.... very soon.... you will all feel Dillo's power...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
