Best internet browser?

[pcslookout]

You may have a point firefox offers the most add ons to date out of any browser.

Actually not just the most but the best ones.

I agree!

I wonder how many have tried more than one browser in addition to internet exploder.
Anyways, here are my ratings.

1) Opera. If you are really willing to try something different, this is the one. Once you get used to how well rounded Opera is, the others will feel crippled. Tab thumbnails? wand for passwords? stack tabs? all of them are in Opera. Oh, and the rendering speed makes browsing in firefox or internet exploder feel downright geriatric. The "cluttered" menus are in fact an attractive feature, as it is very easy to customize. Print preview in one button press? You got it!

Yes, some sites don't play nice with Opera, but that is because the sites are broken (Opera is the most compliant to the standards) In those situations you need a less perfect browser (read, broken) and while it doesn't have as many add-ons as firefox, opera is ready to work out of the box.

2) Firefox. The stuff is wildly popular, and there is a reason. It has the most add-ons, and while performance is mediocre, it juts plain works.

if a site refuses to work with Opera, I use firefox. 90% of the time this will work. There are some very poorly coded sites that only work with internet exploder, so I will use it as last resort.

Opera for sure.

I used to hate on Opera and never really bother using it but since Opera 9 or 10 it's been the best one hands down. As fast as Chrome and feature rich as Firefox with the common addons people would use, I don't have to bother with any addons for Opera which is good because although it supports addons there isn't the selection Firefox has.

I do still keep Firefox because every once in a while I find a site that Opera doesn't like so much, but it's not a big deal.

This and with Roboform being free now for all browsers there is nothing you can't do!

i like opera, but it's far from perfect. some display hiccups in addition to page rendering issues, and opera.exe running forever after close are still problems unfixed for over a year.

Who closes their web browser ? I don't ever unless I need to restart it for a update or a add-on. That is it. Just like my pc my browser never shuts down.
