Browser War - Take your pick

Re: firefox vs opera.

I just love Firefox, but sadly I'm forced to use IE. Anyways coming to why FX is better than Opera (IMO):

1. No browser, but for FX can replace the features that I enjoy along with a couple of extensions with FX. Extensions like SearchStatus, Adsense Notifier, etc.. can't be seen in other browsers.

2. I got used to the UI of FX. I use a Theme called Walnut and I'm using that since FX v.1 Preview!

3. As FX gets developed more and more features are incorporated without the need for extension like close tab, spell check, etc.. I think that FX will be the better browser than any other after some 2 years or so. Being open source, so many ppl are working on it.


The only problem with FX is the memory leak issue (and the associated taking-long-time-to-open and usage of less system resources) , I don't know why they're not fixing it.

Re: firefox vs opera.

For a long time I used Opera.Then I was fascinated by the Extension thingy and switched to FF.I installed/uninstalled many and finally it's pathetically slow...I then went for Maxthon,and now back to Opera !

Re: firefox vs opera.

This same topic is opened again and again under various pretenses in different parts of the forum. If some mod would be kind enough to merge this one with this topic in the 'Fight Club' and rename it to 'Browser wars' or something similar, it would definitely help reduce the clutter.

Browsers in according to my preference:
1. OmniWeb (Sorry! This one is Macintosh specific and the one I primarily use.)
2. Opera
3. Firefox
4. Safari
5. Others
6. Internet Explorer

Re: Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2

Only those who are yet to explore and understand the great collection of Extensions and Themes can say that there is some thing better than FF. And IE never comes in comparison Avant is far better than IE.

Re: Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2

surely, my friends IE7 is better one. Don't u know about ie7 security. IE6 runs with all the user previliges in which it is running. But IE7 runs with less previliges even if administrator is running it.
