Best Browser: Mozilla/ Opera/ IE, Firefox/ Konqueror/Anything else?

I have been a long time supporter to Opera. So far Opera has crash maybe a half-dozen times in the last 5 months. Moreover, whenever it crashes, its recovery phrase remembers your laast sites visited. It has a lot of flexibility and customization options and permits plugins.

Firefox is the best browser around at the moment. IE is very spyware ridden where as firefox is amazing against spyware.\n\nNot only that but prefer how firefox functions and what you can do with it, for example, dragging and dropping websites into a toolbar as shortcuts.

Use Firefox, it has most of the great features of IE 7 with the familiarity of IE 6, plus more stability, faster web page loading, greater security, and much more. http://www.mozilla.com/

firefox isgood as it shows contents as they are download . it even shoes partially downloaded pages which Opera doesn't . so as you are having a dialup connection with less speed opera will result in a delay and therfore FIREFOx will be the right browser for you

Mozilla is the best and Internet explorer is the worst (but is used widely since Microsoft forces it on everyone). I never heard of amust and I was not happy with opera.\n\nNorton and McAfee are about the same. They catch most stuff and get very naggy when your subscription is expiring.

As between these two, Firefox, without doubt. IE has been, and continues to be, riddled with security problems. So safety goes to Firefox (properly configured). Make sure you've gone through every menu and setting under Tools, and made good choices, before you use it. Poorly configured Firefox is not all that secure. Of course, even optimally configured IE has lots of problems, so there isn't much choice. \n\nOn the faster front, things are less clear. some have reported IE (one version or another) to be faster than Firefox (one version or another). Let's look at some details. Firefox allows you to adjust your settings more easily than IE. And so you can tell Firefox not to download popup or popunder windows (makes things faster, less garbage traffic) and you can tell Firefox not to download images unless you ask (less data unless needed, so faster).  And so on. There's a Firefox extension called FasterFox which automatically loads stuff in the background when you're inactive for a moment, and it can speed things up a good bit. It also requires configuration and probably  experimentation to find the fastest settings in your situation. And there are several other firefox extensions which filter out other detritus and trash and so don;t use the limited bandwidth you have. Things will seem to load faster. So for the faster question, I think it's Firefox, properly configured, and perhaps with the right extensions. \n\nAs for better, if it's safer and faster, where's the doubt?\n\n======\n\ncaveats\n\nMicrosoft is in the midst of rewriting substantial parts of IE, so it is said. if so, the next version of IE may be better than past version have been. But Firefox sets a high standard, so IE has a considerable ways to go. Due out sometime early next year, and only for Windows, naturally.

I can't beleive your still using IE. Firefox is much better and faster. got to mozilla.com it is a free browser and with the "fasterfox" extention you will be surprised at the speed. (firefox does read html slightly differntly so on a small percentage of websites, the page is displayed slightly differently)

Internet Explorer is a horrible browser. I suggest Firefox (http://mozilla.com/firefox). It's faster and safer. Plus there is tabbed browsing and a convenient search bar. Plus it's fully skinable and there are entension you can install and you won't have this ActiveX problem (I know cause I had the same problem). It's a 100% better browser

At present, Mozilla Firefox wins the race.\nVersion 1.5 introduces several new features, including an improved software update system, a new option to clear private browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, and more robust pop-up blocking.\n\nAs more users continue to abandon Internet Explorer, Mozilla's popular Firefox gains traction in the browser space. Version 1.5 of Firefox offers a few notable features, foremost of which is the ability to reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them. You'll also find a tool that lets you quickly clean up your surfing history with two clicks of the mouse or a hot-key combo. The latest iteration of the browser seems more responsive than it has in the past and also is more efficient; with 10 windows open, Firefox consumed slightly less RAM than either IE or Opera.\n\nIf you're new to Firefox entirely, you'll appreciate the other features, including the RSS feeds, the JavaScript debugger, the basic download manager, and the ability to search several popular sites (such as Google) directly from the address bar. You can easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. More technically minded users will appreciate that Firefox displays the page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags like an HTML editor. The built-in pop-up blocker is still extremely effective, and Firefox's reuptation for tight security is still well deserved. Anyone who's tired of IE will find more than one reason to like this free alternative.\n\nTop Ten Reason To Switch To Firefox:\n1. Tabbed Browsing - Makes surfing the web faster\n2. Popup Blocking\n3. Find Stuff Easier\n4. Simplified Privacy / Annoyance Eliminator\n5. Better Bookmarks and History\n6. Accessible, Intelligent, Responsive\n7. Customizable and Extendable\n8. Modern Download Manager\n9. Built for standards\n10. KISS (Keep It Simple and Straight-Forward)

Firefox\n9.5/10\nEverything about it is great except for the few remaining pages that refuse to work properly, forcing me to *groan* open them in IE.

You don't specify version numbers for Firefox or Opera but I will assume you mean the latest version so 1.5 and 8.5 respectively. Assuming this Opera is the best browser.\n\nOpera provides a very clean interface and a whole range of features, and it is the fastest browser that I have ever used. However despite it's feature-rich style Opera is not bloated, and its download size and loading time are significantly less than Firefox.\n\nFirefox 1.5 improves on the features of previous versions with better tab controls. It is still not as good as Opera though. IE6 is somewhat in the past. Current information about IE7 suggests that it too will lag behind the competition.

my opinion:\nFirefox is good, and i have been using it for my main browser since before version 1.0. it still have bugs, dont you believe people that say otherwise. and i still have ff crashes for some unknown reasons. but i think its better than IE 6 (havent try IE 7, but i think it will not be much of a different). CSS is better in Firefox.
