Post by: TinMan on July 24, 2007, 05:27:44 am: Firefox because it's easy to write add-ons for, then lynx because it's teh leet when I don't have gfx, then Charon because it's Mozilla-like and very light weight.

You're probably just lacking a repository with it, you can have firefox up to date on Debian.

Post by: Paradox on July 24, 2007, 09:31:46 pm: For my main browser, i use Firefox, because i have hacked it so much that i cant get similar functionality out of others. I prefer the webkit rendering engine to gecko, as the webkit engine does a beautiful job on pages (its what safari uses). Webkit is based of of khtml, aka konqueror, which is another very good browser.

I find opera to be bloated, ugly, and slow, with a much larger memory leak than firefox (almost half my ram is taken up by opera, 4gb of ram!)

Post by: TinMan on July 24, 2007, 10:56:54 pm: 4 gb of ram? If you aren't running 64-bit then that's your problem, if you are running 64-bit then you shouldn't be using Opera, I haven't seen a 64-bit version of it yet.

Post by: St. Anger on July 24, 2007, 11:47:30 pm: Opera- because it owns everything else (atleast on my PC it does)

lynx

No popups whatsoever, no annoying flash ads covering up half the screen, no giant memory leaks... blends in with all your open consoles so it can look like you're working when you're really reading some article about other people working.... its a great browser!

Otherwise firefox, though i can't say I enjoy it with the raping of my resources and the constant problems of it not working correctly.. i haven't managed to get myself to use opera more than once or twice though..

Post by: Computer[SU] on July 26, 2007, 06:05:55 pm: I've tried every browser there is for OS X, and I keep coming back to Safari. It's a massive memory hog, but I have a lot of RAM and it has some nice little features that I like. With SafariStand and PithHelmet you never see an internet ad - ever - and have access to pretty much every feature that other browsers advertise.

Firefox is ugly as hell and slow, Camino is speedier but still ugly, and Shiira has too many windows.

So, I'll stick with Safari and just take the RAM hit. It's worth it to me.

Post by: Lobster on July 27, 2007, 01:18:59 am: For Windows I found Opera to be by far the best, but with Ubuntu I found Firefox the best. Both actually seemed like different beasts on the different operating systems to me.

I voted for Opera as the Voice and the Notes features I just loved built-in. Its zoom also has worked the best for me. Speed Dial was also a very nice touch.

Firefox seemed to be better at power using and the interface is much more easy to learn than Opera's slightly confusing but actually very efficient one.

Both had no noticed resource/performance issues with my computer.

Post by: kevlarman on July 27, 2007, 03:54:16 am: if opera offered something like flashblock, i would switch to it faster than you can start a flame war on the debian mailing lists, but until then i'm stuck with renamedfox.
