I like to be in the minority with Opera...

Tried Opera...couldnt stand it. Tried Chrome...couldnt stand it. Mozilla Firefoxy is my choice.

Actually, i uses all of them daily (except Safari). Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

Before Chromimum, Opera was the fastest more secure browser on the internet. But it historically has been so unusable as it tries to be EVERYTHING to everyone.

If you really want to be a minority, use Konquerer.

 

I don't. I want usability without add-ons. The only problem with Opera that some of the banking websites don't like it...

But generally I like diversity. Chrome is my 2nd choice for simplicity...

 

Dude you the man , Mine too

 

It has a Mikey in Missoula ring to it "Mozilla Fire Fox" and everybody knows how vain I am . Megalomaniac vain !

 

Die IE6 already!

 

Yep, that's been my favorite for several years. I don't trust !E because everybody is trying to crack it.

 

I am one of the 0.015% of users who use Opera on Linux (based on the 2.14% market share posted in this thread and 0.7% market share that Linux has on desktop computers as reported here). Of course there is some dispute about whether Linux really has such a small market share. Some suggest that it could really be closer to 10% but I think we need to temper that a little with considerations such as the fact that many people might have Linux installed (to play around with) but still spend most of their time in Windows. In any case, even if the real percentage is somewhere around 5, that still leaves people like me representing little more than 0.1% of all computer users.

All I need to do now is switch to some really obscure distro and use Emacs/W3 and I would become part of mind-boggling small percentage of users (sado-masochistic morons).

 

The figure isn't necessarily accurate, a lot of rogue bots pretend to be Internet Explorer to navigate websites, even some legitimate ones also navigate sites masquerading as different browsers to identify inconsistencies in what is viewed etc.

 

Firefox, all the way.

Short and somewhat interesting (okay, maybe not) story. . .

Three days ago, I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 and the thing totally stopped working.

When I opened the task manager, it would show Firefox running, but there'd be no window. I re-installed. I uninstalled and then re-installed. I deleted the home file and started from scratch. No avail. So I sent an email to Mozilla. . . and waited.

So, I got annoyed and dusted off IE8 (which I used to love, but only gave up about a year ago) just to get around town. Gave Chrome a shot. Hated it. Gave Opera a shot, still hated it after a decade of it being around. Fucking thing, I don't remember half my passwords which Firefox stored and I had to go through the whole heinous process of resetting most of my passwords.

Finally got my response back from Mozilla: Delete the individual file from your profile (in the documents file). Re-install. Enjoy.

Now we're back in business.
