RBL · 08-04-2004, 03:22 PM

My IE crashes when press ctr + f and have problems loading a lot o new windows.

What are the non microsoft internet browsers?
What is the best?

I know alot of ppl will say Opera.. But it cost money if u dont want a BIG fu"#¤ng banner in the top..

I would say FireFox

1. Goes Okey
2. Dont use alot cpu,ram
3. Stop all Popups
4. U dont need 1milion icon on the startfield . If u press On the middle button on your mouse on a link will it ust be a new "Flik?" In the top..

never had a problem with it

Firefox dude, integrated pop up blocker, and it's faster than IEX. FIREFOX!!!

Chris-3DT · 08-04-2004, 10:02 PM

Firefox all the way!

+++

+ IE-like UI. No need to learn everything new

+ pop-up-blocker that works! (panic ware's popustopper just blocks everything, even stuff you don't want to be blocked, like the galleries ion 3dtotal.com)

+ themes (plenty of them!)

+ tabbed-browsing

+ handy bookmark-managment and import of IE bookmarks

+ faster surfing

+ customisable toolbar!

---

- sounds doesn't always work, depening on how it was implemented in the code

- loads slower than IE

Post from Firefox. Looks good by now. Let´s see...

Psistorm · 10-04-2004, 10:15 AM

wow, all firefox users here oO

me I prefer opera, I just love the look&feel of that browser. its got:
- mouse gestures (cool stuff really)
- multi-tab browsing (no 1000k windows like in IE - I spose firefox got that one too tho)
- good popup-block: only when requested shows the popups you actually want to see (like when a site opens in a java-window etc)
- good compatibility
- download-manager window, quite handy
- easy zoom function
- other cool features

thats about it, to try it, go www.opera.com
have fun

Chris-3DT · 10-04-2004, 11:40 AM

mouse gestures work in firefox too, if you install a plugin, btw

can't get used to it though, i think...too weird for me

Torlok2002 · 10-04-2004, 08:42 PM

The thing I like about firefox is that you start out with a basic browser. You can then add plugins to support features you need.

Nice to have something that isnt bloatware...

Dr.N · 11-04-2004, 03:28 AM

mozilla is the best , its very useful and light , on the contrary Netscape is not user friendly

RBL · 14-04-2004, 09:19 AM

Tryed!
It´s faster and group the new windows in the main one. Download admin and more.

Dislike:
Slower windown movement.
Unsorted and imported bookmarks.
Different Cookies.
And different code interpretation in forums that makes somethings like that:

Xullion · 14-04-2004, 11:25 PM

I have both Internet Explorer on my Windows PC and on my G4 Macintosh at my work, however I recieve lesser banners on the Macintosh IE then on the PC version.

A couple of friends of my uses Opera, that's a fine Internet browser (also less banners).
