So last week I finally installed Opera and I like it. Surfing feels faster and the look and feel is way better. Some tiny things are better in FF but generally I like Opera better. And the quality of the widgets definately beats all the extensions from FF

And what about mac users, I thought they used Safari. But no one voted for that, so no mac user in this thread ?

The latest IE7 is really good as well, I really liked it, even more than FF.

But like Porhy wrote "or is it that It is nice with a change? "

Based on your comments im downloading Opera. Have been using FF for three years now but i want to try this out also.

I also just downloaded Opera. I have to say, this browser is the best yet so far. Way faster then IE7 and FireFox. Real smooth browser. Right on.

Yes, those 'shift' themes are really cool aren't they?:p I have them all except for the pink one, and I'm using the yellow/gold one right now.

As for browsers, I use Firefox on a regular basis, although I use IE6 when I need to access a site with ActiveX (such as Windows Update). I used to use Netscape (many, many years ago) and the regular Mozilla browser (although I replaced it with firefox about a year ago).

I was using the Noia 2.0 theme until a few days ago. Right now I'm using macfox. I'm still debating whether I'll keep it or not.

Drebbel has convicened me to try Opera. I had to reformat my desktop anyway, so I am installing opera on it right now. I'm still running FF on my laptop for the time being.

IE 6. Tried 7 but I had problems with it. But it was still in Beta when I tried it.

FireFox; I used to have Opera as a 'backup', but I never got into it. I'm now Firefox-only.

IE - ew

Confused

I use Opera @ Home & FireFox @ Work.

Hmm, considering I spend more time online while at work

I'll go with Firefox. Although, I do have one gripe with FF, it takes a long time for the 3rd party addons to catch up with the new versions.

NefariousKoel · 04-18-07, 11:27 AM

Firefox with the NoScript plug-in.

Deputy · 04-18-07, 02:06 PM

Whew! This thread return sure came as a surprise!!

I finally went with IE7. While it works okay, it's not compatible with some websites.
