Greetings.
I am curious as to know what with all the variety's of Browsers available each having there own pro's 'n Con's, what is the most favourite/Used browser amongst AO users for 2008.
Yeah yeah i know there are official stat things, but i'm more interested in what AO users use to surf the interwebz with.
So cast your vote ( *Multiple selection ) and give a reason in your reply on why you choose to use that Browser. :)
IE8 beta I have been using, dont know if that constitutes to go under IE ...
I still prefer firefox, doesnt crash that much for me as any other browser. Also really quick and easy to configure.
Opera forever.
IE 8 feels *good* too.
This was a tough poll as I like both Firefox and Opera.
I have to use IE at work. If Opera had the dropdown File>Open Location like IE and Firefox it would be almost perfect.
How did a thread about cellphones get attached to a poll on web browsers?
Because it is a 2006 post.
When we updated the site software it couldn't handle the links ;)
IE or Opera.
Everything else is subpar in comparison.
Like, there's this icon that comes installed on my computer?
I click it and it goes on the internet...
I use the default, whatever it may be. It seems that firefox
is the most common on Linux. I use Ubuntu, so whatever...
Actually some Linux versions have three or four browsers
installed. That's overkill, but.. My daughter's XP box, I made
the mistake of updating to the latest IE version. I liked the
previous one better. I guess you just get used to the interface.
For security, disable scripting and all is well, no matter what browser.
Yeah, first thing I'd do with IE is disable live search, then tabs, and all toolbar buttons except for Home.Quote:

I have the iepro Addon installed to run with ie7. Adds a lot of extra's to help a user configure ie to work the way they want it to work.
Can even setup adblocking filter's etc and can install user scripts. There much like greasemonkey scripts.
I still use Safari on my Macs out of habit.
I use IE6(still haven't gone to 7) rarely, since there are sites/apps I use that use ActiveX.
Mostly I use FF on Win and Linux, although it is getting a little too bulky, 100MB memory usage a lot of times.
I realy like Opera, but I already have two browsers that I use on most machines. If FF keeps getting more bloated then Opera will win out.
.. Opera Forever ..

Hiii Guys Give me a break.....:p Safari is the worlds best browser....Experience the web, Apple style, with Safari the fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world.

Been using opera for a week now. Really do see what you guys like about it. Can I change my vote?
Still cannot believe FF is in the lead. I mean after all the bad press that browser has been getting from members here, i would of thought Opera or Ie or even Chrome would be in the lead.
And slart i moved your vote from FF to Opera. :)

Safari gets out of your way
Again (pardone me since its the 3rd time) but,
Opera Forever.
Reformatted and put on XP at work. Decided to stick with IE and working great so far.
Can I take my vote back? :)
I miss FireFox v1 (just the exe file).
