For the sake of humoring the new guy, what's better about it? I'm just using IE by default, haven't tried any others.

It has a lot of nice features for the lazy man, like mouse gestures. It's also slightly faster at loading pages and is just well thought out

this poll should allow multiple options.

 

I use both mozilla and netscape, and sometimes IE for sites that don't display correctly or autenticate with other borwsers.

 

Some time ago I used opera and when using linux, i use other browsers like the kde browser.

 

So the correct answer would have been all of the above, but sisnce I didn't have that option I voted Mozilla, wich I use most of the time at home.

[HomerJaySimpson]

Well, just vote for which you like best

I've used Opera for several years now... I'm an active beta tester, and have several licenses for Opera. - Used on bother Windows and Linux platforms.

 

Now, as far as the question why Opera?

• - Flexible UI (You can change the location of 99% of the items in Opera.
  - Popup blocking (Though for Opera this needs improvement)
  - Tabbed browsing. (Moz has this as well)
  - Mouse Gestures
  - Keyboad commands for everything (lots and lots and lots of keyboard commands. This is one of my most favorite things about Opera)
  - Not only are there a lot of commands, you can also custimize every command
  - Search Bar (No need for google bar, Alexa bar, or anything else.. it's already there. - Also available with Moz)
  - Notes. I didn't like this at first, but found it to be extreamly useful. It extends the cut/paste.
  - Themes (Also available with Moz)
  - Panels (also available for Moz)
  - Password Manager (Also available with Moz)
  - Full page zoom (not just zoom the text, but images as well)
  - Activaly developed (Moz is also, but not to the extent Opera is)
  - Less security flas than IE (Same would go for Moz)
  - Available for any OS (Even Palm, Pocket PC, and some Cell phones)
  - Free (So is Moz)
  

 

I edited the poll to allow a "Multiple" option. Hope Homer doesn't mind.

 

 

 

I'm sure someone will bring this up...

 

"It's been done before. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5."

My reply - "Not in a while, leave the old threads alone... lets not dig them up, and people's choice may have changed since then."

I dont mind at all mate

[4MD_4_M3]

Dude all i gotta say is Mozill Pwnz

[kirky_D]

mozilla firefox for me, i love the extensions

[kurosen]

Opera for me too... been using it for a long while, MOUSE GESTURES ROCK!!! They remind me of the game Black and White which is what made me search for a browser with mouse gestures... I was hooked from then on. I'm not too fond of the M2 mail app that comes with it though <_<

[d3bruts1d]

Yeah, I don't like M2 either... and I don't use it. Thankfully you can hide the mail option from the main menu as well as the mail panel (and anything else related to it).
