What's The Best Free Web Browser ?

[rdale]

Free Firefox
Paid Opera

LOL - very good one there pgp_protector , never quite heard/saw that version before... hahaha

AND moral superiority

... huh

And everyone else that wants/needs to know... Opera Version 8.01 is out now, get it when you can.

 

[ChrisLockhart]

is this thread not dead yet? I think we've clearly established the technological AND moral superiority of Firefox, so enough said

But, it's not an indefinite infinite thing. Something else could sneak up and take over Firefox's position.

Avant Browser!

Sure, if enough people could possibly be using Konqueror...

there's still some weirdness in khtml that i would like to see worked out, but except for the loops one would have to jump to run it on Windows, I'd say it'd have a good chance.

I also like Epiphany, but it's more just a stripped down ui for Mozilla;
However, isn't Avant just an improved UI for Internet Explorer?

Yeah the only pb to me with Konqueror is the HTML rendering engine indeed... Apart from that, I consider it the greatest multi-protocol browser ever.
As for Epiphany, I'm not a "gnome guy", since I don't see why I would buy a colour screen only to get grey windows... (well in addition to many features KDE provides).

Konqueror is nice, but a bit on the heavy side in relation to how the buttons look. Its a shame it doesn't use the gecko engine to render pages, as that would make it more standards compliant - otherwise though, its nice.

Firefox all the way however,

Hey I just discovered K-Meleon a couple weeks ago and after giving it a try I rather like it as a stripped down version of Firefox if you have lower powered hardware.

I just downloaded the Advant browser and I really like it. It's like IE, but it's a lot more secure from what I can tell. I'd give that a shot.

Avant is NOT a browser. It's merely an IE plugin...

Firefox is the best.

Firefox is most definatly the best. IE is most definatly the worst.

 

[ChrisLockhart]

Of course, if you really want to check out different browsers, evolt would be a good place to start.

If you're a safe-surfer and don't go to "bad" sites,you should be safe from any attacks while using Avant Browser.Provided you use anti-virus,firewall,spyware blocker,and have the latest updates from Windows.

I just started using Firefox, already impressed. The only thing that sucks is that whenever I get an e-mail through MSN Messenger I cannot set it to open in Firefox. Also, the Rich-Text Editor for Hotmail doesn't work with Firefox.

It misses a lot of the best browsers though ... Where are Konqueror and Epiphany for example ?

If you are a safe-surfer, you don't use Windows and don't need an anti-virus or a spyware blocker...
