Anyone who doesn't use Firefox doesn't know what "Inturnett" is.

Goshdarnit! Anybody who'd post crap - or even start a thread - like this, obviously doesn't know what the Internet is. I would have expected a little more from a forum of seemingly tech-savvy users.

Guys 'n gals, please, for the love of Eris, don't confuse the Worldwide Web with the Internet. WWW - which you and I and just about everybody else these days uses Firefox for - is just one of a huge number of services the Internet provides. Ever heard of this thing called e-mail? Instant Messaging? P2P? FTP? Each of these services is provided via "the Internet", which is really nothing but a collection of networks and services loosely connected by the fact that they're all TCP- and/or IP-based one way or another.

Sorry, but it's driving me nuts that kids these days (and nerd kids at that) don't know their basic Internet history.

Erm.. the "Internet" is not just a bunch of websites you know?

It's a lot more than just a browser

 

[MystikEkoez]

Firefox 3 RC Ftw!

Firefox 3 all the way. theres no better browser when it comes to speed and performance. So far, it has the lowest memory footprint of any other browser.

Last I checked, Opera was lower?

The latest nightlies of Firefox 3 has a lower memory footprint than Opera using a clean install from personal benchmarks and those I found online. Also Firefox seems to handle Flash games and videos a lot better than it did in Firefox 2, especially under linux.

firefox, its the best, or close to the best

 

[TrolleyDave]

I use Opera mostly. I know it's not the best browser but it's laid out really nicley. For some stuff I use IE though as it some pages don't load properly in Opera. I don't know if that's Opera or I've just not set something right though.

Opera for me, I've been using it for a good 5 years and I've just got used to it. The keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures are very handy. I've used Firefox a few times, but it didn't have any features that made me want to switch from Opera. I have to use IE for online banking though...

Thank you! You've put it very eloquently. And in a lot less words than I needed for my rant.

I use FireFox as well, it's my favorite browser, lots of skins to choose from, and two very good addons that makes it worth it : adblock plus and noscript !

Whoosh, topic revival.

Opera 9.51 here. Personally, I think Firefox 3 renders pages a bit nicer, has a ton more applications, but the thing that ticks me off about it is that its RSS/Mail features aren't too hot. I've been stuck to Opera for a while now for a few core reasons.

1. The RSS Features are damn nice, looks like a compressed e-mail inbox.

Spoiler

Firefox has a dropdown menu for RSS feeds, and they're limited to a certain amount. Opera can take well... as much as I'd need. It doesn't cut off feeds I haven't read.

2. IMAP mail, works kind of like the GMail manager for Firefox, but it's built-in, and can be configured for any mail provider that allows for IMAP/POP connections. Works well, especially the IMAP. Deletes, reads, etc, directly towards the mail account.

3. Appearances/skins. Like any skin for any program, some of them are god-awful, but some are incredibly pleasing to look at. Opera has a good amount of eyecandy, but a bunch of the "top downloads" from Firefox give me a lot of disappointing looking interfaces.

That's pretty much it. From the websites I frequent, there aren't too many problems, but there comes a time and then some when I simply need to switch over to Firefox to get something to work (Javascript specific stuff sometimes, some other weird mishaps).

I can say though, Firefox is much more user friendly and widespread, so it makes sense that more people would vote for it. My vote still goes for Opera though, for the user interface and already-packaged stuff that I'd usually need a crapload of plugins for in Firefox.
