Hi all,

I think there may be a couple of topics about this, but, I downloaded a few of web browsers last night...Google Chrome, Opera, and Firefox.

I have to say, I really am enjoying Opera...It seems really easy to use, and quite fast, too. I found Google chrome was nice, but not quite my cup of tea, in the sense that there was no 'bar' at the top, ie, File, edit, and so on.
I also enjoyed Firefox, it almost feels like a more 'modern' version of IE, so to speak.

But overall, I feel I enjoyed Opera the best...Fast, modern, and just a tad different.

Does anyone else use Opera? - What are your opinions on the above web browsers?

Kind Regards,
Jack.

I am with Internet Explorer for a little longer until I switch to Firefox. My dad had it on his XP Laptop. It looked awesome. Safari too. ~~I am switching to Mozilla Firefox on the day of February 13th, 2010, Valentines Day Eve.~~ Firefox is a bit like Internet Explorer but with stuff IE doesn't have. After Firefox, I will add Safari to my 7 with Firefox on June 3rd, 2010, my Birthday, and 3 days before Ship Simulator Extremes.

EDIT: Switched very earlier.

Why all this waiting!? =S

I prefer Chrome, and when that's being dodgy I use Firefox for certain sites that don't yet work on Chrome.

Oh look! There's an advert for Chrome at the bottom of this topic.

I'm not thinking on the Design and bla bla bla. but i'm thinking of the speed,and the security the different web browsers has

cptnchris · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2010, 03:51:55 »

I currently switched to Firefox, and have seen no problems so far. Firefox and Opera are more safe than Internet Explorer, in my opinion. The many additions on Firefox are nice, #

* Alerts & Updates - 791
* Appearance - 930
* Bookmarks - 876
* Download Management - 461
* Feeds, News & Blogging - 872
* Language Support - 430
* Photos, Music & Videos - 747
* Plug ins - 7
* Privacy & Security - 596
* Social & Communication - 1134
* Tabs - 374
* Tool-bars - 1017
* Web Development - 1004
* Other - 2058

A lot of addons, but I'm sure Opera is nice too, I have not tried it yet

Opera has some Add-ons too, but not as many as Firefox I don't think!

Facebook doesn't really work on Opera

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2010, 17:22:50 »

Some of it doesn't show up quite right, yeah. But, for me it doesn't matter so much as here and IJTS are my main sites, really...

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2010, 23:21:37 »

Chrome

I think it has the best extensions, try them out

Firestar · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2010, 01:13:59 »

I have been using Lynx, the best CLI web browser there is...

I've also been working on programming my own web browser, not done yet though, I would like to hear what people would like to see in it.

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2010, 08:44:02 »

Is this it?:

Am I missing something here? or is it supposed to look like that?

Firestar · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2010, 17:06:10 »

That's it alright! It's fast as hell. BTW, don't complain that it's not pretty enough. It's made for CLI, and speed, not eyecandy.

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2010, 19:04:45 »

Does it display any images?

McGherkin · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2010, 21:52:29 »

I'm sure that Lynx would provide me with the same sort of fun that using Dreamweaver in code mode would give me, i.e. none at all...

I don't think so, MAYBE it might with plugins, but with the types of monitors that NEED to use those web browsers I doubt it would work very well. BTW that shot is being ran inside a terminal, so the actual lynx is LESS graphical than that.

But, like I said...FAST AS HELL...

(I made this post using Lynx believe it or not)

I agree SD, there's a nice addon I found it's called "Noscripts". It disables every Java and Javascript. It's really really nice. You can add exceptions to youtube and such. It disables almost every ad, it makes things WAY faster, I love it. I also use MyWOT, which I found out about from you..

I don't like too many addons though because then they change everything around and make it frustrating. I also use "reminderfox". It gives you a reminder for things you want to remind yourself about.

saltydog · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2010, 00:58:55 »

I don't have many add-ons, just WOT and ABP, and the walnut theme is nice..
