Which Web-Browser is the best?

[Tom.K]

I don't know which is useful:
IE6: Not safe.
IE7: Needs WGA - Windows Geuine Advantage and it has compatibility only on Vista and XP SP2.
Firefox: Read this.
Opera: Not compatible with all web pages.
Safari: Now supports Windows, but I don't know anything about it.
Netscape Navigator: I don't know anything about it.
Crazy Browser: I saw that browser in magazines, but it seems unpopular. Does someone know this browser?
If you got some sources about browsers, you could add a link to it (if administrator of this forum allows).

I didn't vote because I use three browsers, IE7, Opera and Firefox; and I wouldn't give up any of them.

If I had to choose, Opera would be my first choice but I switch according to what it is I want to accomplish.

IE7 makes it easy to integrate "LIVE" programs such as Live Writer, Live MSN, Live Spaces etc. I think it has come a long way since IE6 and is more secure.

Firefox is always a favourite and has great adds ons such as FlashBlock, Web Developer and Adblock Plus among many others.

BTW, I very rarely have a problem with Opera and web page compatibility, no more so than any other browser.

You can vote for all 3.

Firefox. I'm a customization freak.

I also use other Gecko-based browsers like Netscape, K-Ninja and K-Meleon.

I use either K-Ninja and K-Meleon if I'm not anywhere near my PC, as both don't need any installation and will play nice with my school policies.

I use (and test) Firefox, Seamonkey and Opera. Mainly it is Firefox and I love it. With little memory overheads you can customise it and make it ultra-safe.

I use IE 7 and Firefox,and Opera and Avant browser on my other computer also,but Firefox is by far my favorite.It`s just less clunky,and I`ve hardly ever had any problems with it.

IE7: Needs WGA - Windows Geuine Advantage and it has compatibility only on Vista and XP SP2.

IE7 doesn't have WGA anymore (it is microsoft's idea trying to make internet explorer 7 the most popular browser on the planet. By having WGA microsoft were only targeting 'valid' windows users and blocking out everyone else. But now the WGA is gone, they still have to tackle the sp2 compatibility issues)

I myself voted for firefox...because it is the best

as for safari...i don't really know much about it, apart from apple's claims about its performance which im sceptible about.

Apple claims that safari is the fastest web browser on any platform. It says safari loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2. And it executes JavaScript up to 3 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 2 times faster than Firefox 2.

All from the safari website...

ill try to post url: http://www.apple.com/safari/

for the average user I would recommend firefox because it is fast, stable and safe.

for the experienced user I would recommend firefox because it is fast, stable and safe.

...and customisable

...and also firefox 3 will be coming out soon! (i think early next year)

firefox 3 will fix sooo many bugs and memory leaks, and it will pass the acid 2 test. at the moment the only browsers that pass the acid 2 test (on your list) are opera and safari.

you can read more about the acid 2 test at: http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/

(and you can take the test)
