Firefox all the way baby.
I haven't tried Opera but I'm perfectly fine with firefox.
Add-ons, layouts, skins, protection, private browsing...

Firefox is my favorite.. Firetail just pointed out what I love about it. It also has good security and support.

I am using Opera right now. It's great but doesn't look superior to Firefox. I like Speed Dial however.

IE sucks. It's horrible.

Safari is nice too but it lags my computer.

Google Chrome is also good but I still use Firefox.

Currently, I'm sticking with Firefox. Haven't tried Opera yet...

Firefox. Almost no comparison.

But then again, I've never tried Opera. Nor will I. I'm not taking up more space on my computer. Lawl.

IE is the epitimy of fail. There's only one thing I used it for and that's navigating to the Firefox website. And even that crashed my computer twice >>.<<

So Firefox.

Random recommended theme: Lava Fox. 'Tis epic.

How the hell did it beat out Netscape then? (I am not implying that I like IE)

Hahaha!

I'm not taking up more space on my computer.


Not even a few megabytes?

The first thing I noticed while using Opera is the Speed Dial feature, the default skin, the unfamiliar layout and the missing spellchecker I love.

Maybe once I figure out how to delete excess .dll's on my computer.

Hahaha!

Ah yes, Netscape. I never gave that one a whirl, and I think they went under. Not sure though.

So as it stands, IE is still the epitimy of fail.

So much epic fail, it exceeds 90,000 and goes into win territory.

You may be able to find a download of that here. I used the old Netscape on a Windows 95 computer. Somehow IE managed to defeat Netscape and become the dominant browser. IE peaked at a 95% browser usage share around 2002.

That's funny.

It is nowadays. Ever since Firefox's release, IE has declined in usage. Microsoft will be defeated!

How much space do you have left? Did you try cleaning up your hard drive?

About 75% left, which is my own limit. It slows down after that. My RAM can't take it if it's to slow.

No wonder I've never heard of it (Well, I have, but you get my meaning). I didn't use the internet back then.

I think it already has been. But I don't think Microsoft will be going away. It's a free browser after all.

I think you get what you pay XD

*sigh* Opera isn't even a Internet navigator. How can you compare those two?

How much is your RAM?

I didn't use the internet back then.


Me too. I just happened to have my dad's old computer lying around. Dial-up internet is really slow.

I think it already has been.


Not yet. IE still has around 60-70 percent of the usage share. That figure has been decreasing since Firefox was released. It will continue to decrease.

But I don't think Microsoft will be going away.


Haha. That's true. They'll never go away once they're there.

Firefox is freeware and open-source, isn't it? IE is just free of charge.

What do you mean? I'm using Opera right now.

Wait till you try Chrome. When I first tried it, the boost in speed left me just like "WHOA".


I tried Chrome and the speed didn't last for long. Opera seems faster right now.

Puny for the applications I use it for. Only 368MB.

So much for enhanced performance >>.<<

Really? Well, soon enough anyway. Hopefully in the next few years. IE will hopefully be phased out of existence. Then Microsoft will have hard feelings and do a hostile takeover of Mozilla. Corporate tyrants >>.<<

I happened to chance upon some new computers installed in the public library. It was a nice upgrade from archaic computers before them.

Haha. That's true. They'll never go away once they're there.


Thank hostile corporate takeovers. *Mumbles curses at Microsoft*

True. Fortunately Mozilla is sorta nonprofit. They could make billions if they charged. Or none at all, depending on how people react.

Isn't Opera a software?
