Internet Browser

[wyrmtung]

I use whatever browser is on the PC that I'm using. When I'm on my MB Pro it's Safari, when I'm on my other PC, it's Firefox or IE (depends on which one is closest to my mouse cursor at the time.) I really don't give a shit about browsers. Just get me to the damn webpage and I'm fine. Shit, if I borrowed someone's PC and they were using AOL, I still wouldn't care. (well, not entirely true. I would make fun of that person for it.)

To me, being picky about a browser is like being picky about reading a novel in paperback vs. hard cover. WHO FUCKING CARES? It's the story that counts.

I would try and explain why its not about being picky, but you're a total idiot.

Firefox w/ noscript to browse the internet.

Opera to browse for porn. all the tabs don't get removed when the browser is closed, so if i stop at some point, like using a forum or saved on a page, i don't have to start all over again or loose the data.

IE for downloading music & movies and to check hotmail.

Firefox and Safari for PC and I use Opera on my Linux boxes.

Anything except IE tbh.

Firefox, intially because I got a virus back when I used IE and went to a porn site, and I had heard that Firefox was alot more secure when it came to random internet browsing and such.

Now I use Firefox and am virus free. Now though, long after the switch I find Firefox to be better because it loads faster than IE does (I think Woozie mentioned this too), like IE takes forever to fucking load on my computer when I open it on occasion to view the rare .wmv file on a page which my firefox doesn't support.

Firefox.

Tabbed browsing, plugins, search expandability, pop-up blocker, Adblock Plus, etc.

However most Mexico pages are made by lazy bastids so I end up using IE from time to time. Opera has a place in my heart because it used to run nicely in my 486 >.> While I use firefox because it is more mainstream I prefer Opera.

[Tajin]

IE6 because I'm oldschool and never had security problems.

There is nothing oldschool about Internet Explorer

[Seditedi]

Firefox because lolIE.
Only time I open IE is for Windows Update.

[aru]

isnt the only browser older than IE netscape navigator? i'd say that makes it pretty old school

[Tajin]

No

I like Opera because I can save sessions of 20 tabs to open whenever I want. I tried finding a good addon for firefox that do that, but none ever work.

Firefox because of Adblock and Noscript. I'll never use another brower unless utilities like that are ported over somehow... other than manually editing the hosts file.

Seriously. No ads on the internet, or ads for the 3-4 seconds it takes to turn them off again on sites I don't support/care about. It's fucking awesome. TiVO for the internet, yes fucking please.


EDIT - End-task Firefox and it'll save all your last-open tabs. Found that out by accident and I use it all the time when I need to restart/shut down my computer.

EDIT 2 - Tabs, moar security, etc, etc.

Seriously. No fucking ads.
