Internet Browsers ...

[orudge]

The stats in this topic can be taken with a pinch of salt, anyway - the real statistics are the ones I posted, so there's your answer.

Still wonder why so many people use IE, with so many bugs it have.

Basically everybody I know who was using IE got hit by some kind of spyware or other badware sooner or later.

IE is not a browser its "badware runtime environment". ;)

I use Mozilla Firefox. The tabs and adblock keep me going.

[lobster]

"Other (please post what)"

Mozilla Camino.

[Tom0004]

adblock keep me going.

can get this also for IE, and Safari

i'm using Safari, on XP, only becuase the graphics, are 110% better the IE,

personally never had an interest with Firefox

[Purno]

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

Though, this is a quite geeky website. This is a forum for many geeks, and geeks in general are more aware of other browsers. I think if you got the stats of, for example, the MSN sites, you'd have a lot of other stats. Most people don't even know there are other options beside Internet Explorer, AFAICT.

I just downloaded ghostzilla. Pretty cunning

[bob27]

That's pretty cool that IE is about to be overthrown by others. It helps to keep security issues down (a bit.)
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6 now but its not my favorite. I liked Firefox 1x better, it was a lot faster than 2x is.

EDIT: Oh and orudge, yes those stats are more reliable but not nessisarily 100% accurate. Some browsers do have option to "emulate" if you will, other browsers to sometimes access those "IE only sites" and the like.
It stinks when you have to fake something to get access granted.

[Illegal_Alien]

^^ There are also website who deny acces to IE browsers

Using IE7 btw. It rocks and does the job, i dont like FF or Opera.

[RPharazon]

Firefox here. My first act on my new laptop (new-ish, at least) was to install Firefox, even though I wouldn't get internet access for a day or two.

Adblock, NoScript, Tabs (not smelly IE tabs), and extensions rock my socks.

[DeletedUser21]

IE6 and IE7.

It depends on what computer I'm behind.

[rEXpert]

I use firefox on my xp-ubuntu dual boot, so that I can share the settings and bookmarks between them.

[bruce89]

There's no bloody Epiphany option, oh well.

Oi oi oi, let's not forget the other big desktop environments browser:

Epiphany .

*reads the rest of the thread before posting*

Bruce89, f*** spot on. You have taste man, taste.

Edit: Prof. Frink: Epiphany is getting Webkit fairly soon aswell with support for GTK controls, so we'll be ditching gecko and getting rendering closer to Konqueror/Safari. Awesome.

never heard about it

[Ploes]

Does Swiftfox count as Firefox?

I've just started using it today, and the speed different is bizzar!

[Sscls]
