people did you know IE has the worst security it has 10 security holes (wonder why pop up blocker doesnt work ) 10 is bad your computer get in fcted and you dont even know it fire fox has 1 security hole but its a small one though

FF/Opera is the best out there

I like Opera but never used it much. I'm more of a Firefox person. With addons like adblock plus and no-script it is one of the safest and easiest to use browsers out there.
After the 3.0 release it is also one of the most RAM efficient browsers as well.
Cool themes and addons, security and speed! What more could you ask for?

Gwenblade people.

Security vulnerabilities are continously discovered and (hopefully) patched in *ALL* software, Internet Explorer, FireFox and Opera included.

Just today Mozilla issued a security patch (to v2.0.0.15) for FireFox 2 fixing 12 security vulnerabilities, 4 of which were rated as critical. If you're still on FireFox 2 and don't want to move on to 3 just yet *NOW* is a good time to apply the patch to v2.0.0.15. Given that FireFox 3 is partially based on code and architecture from FireFox 2 there are very likely a number of existing FireFox 3 vulnerabilities awaiting patches from the FireFox crew that have not yet been disclosed to the public. Expect a FireFox 3 patch soon...

That being said there are an awful lot of holes in IE compared to FireFox and Opera. I'm personally sticking with Opera as it's the least popular of the four major browsers (IE, FireFox, Opera and Safari) and thus the least tempting hacker target.

Remember that timely patching is the key to staying safe on the web regardless of which browser you use. And you also need to patch up plugins like Adobe Flash player (how many here have even bothered to update Flash in the last year or so?), NoScript etc that can, through their own security flaws and regardless of which browser version they're used in, work as attack routes for hackers and viruses. Your browser isn't the *ONLY* software that needs security patches from time to time...

Fire fox is the best browser that I've used, you can add many add-ons and themes to suit your needs... I recommend this one that blocks all types of annoying adds: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

Mozilla all the way, since there MANY extensions,plug-ins and add-ons for it.

Firefox ^^ plugins rule the world.

Firefox ^^ plugins rule the world.

Firefox is just awesome.

Firefox 3 pwns all

Firefox in a pain the the a?* for downloading

Opera, I've just grown used to it. Although I like Firefox too.

its funny people only pick firefox only for plugins and extensions

I prefer firefox. I've just downloaded it and it runs much better than IE.

sorry if i am of the subject but i was hoping someone could help me with locating this belly ring.is it a single item or part of a race or somehthing like that.

Firefox works for people that want a lot from there internet experience.

Opera is for people that just like searching for random stuff
or youtube.

Internet explorer is for people that don't trust in downloads,
too lazy to get other browsers or don't know much about computers.

Considering that internet explorer is a windows default.

what about Flock?

@livaitte

I dont like your comment. You are obviously biased agains anything other then Firefox. I know quite a bit about computers, I download a lot, and I use IE. I use IE because ive never had any problems with it unless it was my mistake, which has only happened twice in the 14 years ive used it. the only reason Firefox is "so much better" is because its more user firendly for those who don't really know a lot about what they are doing. (im not saying all who use it do not know what they are doing, just that its design is intended for that) The only real thing Firefox has over IE is add-ons. Whoopie. Nifty little things that are fun to have but serve no real purpose. The google toolbar alone is like 5+ addons in one, so Im just fine.

It's all about firefox.

@IronicEcho

Yes i tottally agree with you firfox only thing it has it add-ons and the addons dont really make the inter browser a safer thing. It little thing to make your experience funner but firefox isnt the only who have it.............


i think people (like adults and older) like opera because its originial and it doesnt show off it "Widgets" like firefox does and also they grew up with the complex browser so they say it the best

some people prefer IE because they get without DL and sometimes people dont know about the others

the way i see it is, I used IE all my life, there's no problem and IF there is it's either my fault or my little brother's. the way i get viruses,worms, etc. is basically the same with others - except safari coz that was MAC OS, but the point is i tried firefox, opera, Safari, IE out of all of those i prefer IE, why? because it's doing what it supposed to without all of the fancy stuff, ooooh u got a new little icons there? ya who cares :3

ehehe sorry got a bit too crazy there, coz my friend is always getting into my nerve talking about how opera does this how opera does that. so to all ehehe no offense intended whatsoever <3

I'd prefer to use Internet Explorer. The Firefox interface is too hard to figure out. Firefox has plugins, and maybe they are useful at times, but i only use them once, or twice, since i have no need for them. Beside, I'm satisfied with Internet Explorer, its look, and style of doing things.

off topic but... Owch @zip's icon :3

lol, damn off topic comment
now i can't resist to post this too :3
sorry XD

:3

i like IE because it's simple and easy to use for me

I reckon Netscape Navigator was great until it got dicontinued by AOL. Now I use FireFox.

FFX, duh.

Firefox is there any other browser worth using? I do support Opera though, as it is made in my country, Norway

So most people use FF but this site has trouble with FF3... login and registering not working...

I mostly prefered FireFox, but as IE came with new security and tabs, I decided to use IE, as many sites do have complications with FireFox, like Flash not working, long loading times, being unable to receive information, etc.

So IE then, it is.

Fire fox is sexy!

Em... firefox has tabs, all you have to do is press ctrl+T.

Why wonldn't it?

I use FF. Better security, lower risk of hijacking, spyware and malware infections make it a win for me.

I'm using the x64 version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. It's the best one could do on Vista Ultimate x64 imho.

On my XP x32 I was using 'Green Browser', which I did really like.

@Mordraneth

Low risk of hacking no way!

Sicne yo uhave a popular browser you have a HIGHER chance of hacking ince most hacker target firefox since they know how get through it.

Im just correcting your mistake...........Nothing offensive

dos eny one no how to get body mods do work on my oblivion its realy anoyin because i put them into the data file and start the game and its all the old origonal bodys is ther something im doing rong or is it because i got windows vista n all my other mods work apart from body mods ,sword and armor texturs stuff like tha dont work!!!! can someone help iv had this problem for ages?

A semi-old Flash Player 9 has been causing a bunch of problems and crashes with Firefox. Update to the most recent version (or uninstall in install or expect crashes, difficulties shutting down and power suspend issues. ALL that from just one plugin (hope Adobe get their collective act together one day - I still hurt over having to support PageMaker 6 in a professional environment 5 years ago (it had issues and no fixes) and now Premier Elements 4 crashes at whim without Adobe even acknowledging the numerous problems). Anyway...

Firefox 2 or 3 uses SO much less resources (mainly memory) than IE 7 and is more compliant with more standards (eg XHTML... such as it is). Easier to use, safer, more funky and smaller than IE 7...

i'm using the browser netscape with sandboxie its pretty good and its fast and it protects you for pop-ups and virusses what do you need more???!! pretty funny site here cool

Actually, crashes are definitely *NOT* the only reason to update Adobe Flash Player regularly!

http://secunia.com/advisories/26027/

These are all highly critical security updates that have been released for Adobe Flash Player 9 within just the last 12 months. Malicious and virus infected Flash animations are regularly being spammed across the web in the form of SQL injections putting JavaScript links on legitimate sites to malicious .swf files etc etc. Just by surfing on an SQL injected, compromised legitimate site (running *ANY* browser, Firefox or not) you're running the risk of catching an infection if you have an unpatched Adobe Flash Player.

Basically, if you go here and it says any version lower than 9.0.124.0 then you're running a vulnerable Flash Player. If so you need to immediately uninstall it and install the newest version from Adobe's site. 9.0.124.0 is what you want right now. This is regardless of whether you're running Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer 6/7.

lol firefox is pwning

Firefox all the way.

Safer, customisable and more standards-complaint - which is the main point for me, a web developer

I hate IE - I need to use at least 4 workarounds on every site I make because of that piece of $*@£!

@Meltedskul

No, IE has more hackers because it has waaaaaaay more security flaws, so they can get into it easier.



EDIT: Thanks UQForgotten, didn't have that update yet

Firefox Owns

gotta go with the Firefox. Not only is it all flamey and foxes rock, but all the options it has over IE.

Newest firefox. It kicks ass.

Newest firefox. It kicks ass.

This concerns this poll. I use Opera because I ahve found it to be faster than Internet Explorer. Opera loaded Facebook's login page 6 seconds before IE (Facebook takes a long time to load with dial-up). It also adds a few nice features that IE doesn't have (one example being download resuming).

I have not managed to compare Opera with Firefox. Maybe a Firefox user can do that.
