Internet Browsers ...

[Sscls]

I was just wondering what kind of internet browsers are used on the forum, so here a poll.

[XeryusTC]

Opera isn't an option.

[andel]

And neither is running a poll like this - always leads to a flame war - wars lead to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, suffering leads to Swindon...

i wasn't awear there was an IE version higher then 7.

[Geo Ghost]

IE 7 for me. Simple enough for me to use, has tabs, and i just stick to what i'm use to.

[rav]

firefox whenever I can..

[G-TANK-G]

I.E 7 or higher is the one i use.. works fine and simple for me, just the way i like it and the tabs on it makes things much easier and tidy.. instead of having a lot of windows crampt at the windows bar at the bottem.

[Sscls]

some people may have lost their votes because I added a new option.

The question is about web browser I'm using now - which is FF. However, I like links. It's sexy, fast, doesn't crash, and I can access it from anywhere

Well, last month, the top 5 browsers ranked as follows:

MSIE - 45% (4.3 million hits)
Firefox - 42% (3.8 million hits)
Opera - 7.9% (764,000 hits)
Mozilla - 3.3% (321,000 hits)
Safari - 1.2% (120,000 hits)
(others = 0.6%)

In more depth (percentages of overall total):

MSIE 7 - 22.2%
MSIE 6 - 22.3%
MSIE 5.5 - 0.2%
(others <= 0.3%)

Firefox 2.0.0.5 - 12.3%
Firefox 2.0.0.4 - 23.5%
Firefox 1.5.0.12 - 1.1%

Interesting, we had one hit from the Lotus Notes web client, and a few hundred from Firebird and Phoenix (old versions of Firefox). A smattering of hits from MSIE 2 and 3, too. 7746 hits from Netscape 4.0, 12,600 from Netscape 5.0. It all makes for interesting reading.

Ahem.

Interesting, Opera seems to be more popular than I thought. (I thought it's below 5 percent.)

Opera is the best browser for me. It just gives me what I need (and my needs are geeky indeed, like deciding which cookies to accept on a per-cookie basis) without having to manage a bunch of extensions.

I dislike a few "new" features in the newer Opera (v7 onwards), and especially hated the acceptance of some of the (mozilla/firefox)-isms (in particular "tabs" rather than "new page", "tabbed browsing" instead of "MDI", changing default keybindings to that of mozilla/firefox). Opera6 was really the best browser for me, and I missed the old (pre-2002) Opera forum.

Back on topic: My privoxy configuration file contains the line

Code: Select all

+hide-user-agent {Opera/9.22 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0}

and every browser is set to proxy through privoxy (including links!). Says it all really.

+1, not mentioning it works like a charm or fast as a lightning (and I am using portable version)

@kezza: you can switch off what you do not want - enter address: opera:config

..., Swindon leads to me, me leads to death, death leads to doom and destruction...

I think Firefox is gonna win

[Ameecher]

I've had to put up with AOL 9.0 these past couple of weeks and they've been frankly hell, gimme IE or FF any day.

FireFox..

At the moment I'am using SeaMonkey, because with FireFox I can't access a certain forum (not this one ).
