Mouse gestures are available for Firebird too. You just have to install the extension.

glytch · 02-01-2004, 08:05 AM

Oh I have the mouse gesture extension. It's just not, in my opinion, implemented as well as Opera's.

nanofever · 02-01-2004, 12:41 PM

Mozilla, because I like knowing what URL I'm really at.

SonicRL · 02-01-2004, 01:48 PM

I personally just use IE6 because I'm too lazy to try any other ones xD. Although I used to use Opera, but after I reformatted, I just stuck with IE.

02-01-2004, 04:15 PM

Using IE but I was thinking about switching to FireBird. but then I heard that Roboform does not work with it so for now im sticking with IE.

I'm a dotcommunist, baby. Everything on the internet should be free (or at least paid for by someone else, especially if that someone is Microsoft).

Where did you hear this? I haven't heard anything of the sort and, frankly, highly doubt it's true.

02-01-2004, 05:50 PM

Features/options and why i love mozilla

1 animations only run once "Checked" cause i hate annoying smiley animaged gifs
2 only show images from url's orignating server "checked" good bye most ads.
3 surpress pop ups (save for allowed sites) "checked"
and the most important feature and why i can never use IE as the last version i tried didn't have it.

4 Tabbed Browsing!!

mrap1 · 02-01-2004, 06:41 PM

MIE2, it offers the conveniece of being IE compliant but it adds a hell of a lot more features to it. MYIE2 now is what IE will be in the future.

Or at least what it should be.

MyIE2 spanks IE in terms of features but MS doesn't seem to be that worried. In their minds the browser war is over so they can't justify spending more money on R&D for IE.

kapoho · 02-04-2004, 08:47 AM

I use Opera 7 99% of the time. IE for windows updates and certain sites that only work with IE.

Confederate · 02-04-2004, 08:52 AM

I also use IE6 i have no problem with it at all, so why fix what isn't broken?

laconic1 · 02-04-2004, 01:02 PM

I use Firebird. I usually hit F11 as soon as I open the browser and I like having the address bar even with the browser full screened. Also tabbed browsing, and a better "feel" to it than with IE.

mgcloud · 02-08-2004, 11:05 PM

A vote for firebird here

Compliance to HTML standards and not to poorly written code is my favourite thing about it (along with teh tabs/auto popup killing)

Yea, I also highly doubt that firebird will be a non-free browser in the future because it's released under a public license. Even if it becomes commercial software (not likely), anyone can jsut take the code from previous releases (or even cvs if lucky) and rebuild the software under a different name.

PorscheBunny · 02-09-2004, 03:17 PM

Mozilla 1.2.1 - the last version made for my computer's OS.

I really need to upgrade.

BenChuy · 02-10-2004, 05:56 AM

safari. a fantastic and uber-functional browser.

SecretMethod70 · 02-10-2004, 06:57 AM

FireFOX baby!

k1ng · 02-10-2004, 07:10 AM

Ok, so i'm really digging Firefox. I've never even heard of it until I saw this post. Thanks guys =)

One big thing I've found so far that I can't do is go to other networked computers using Firefox.

With IE I could just type: \\test in the address bar and it would take me to tests's shared files. Firefox would not allow me to do this.

Is there a way to do it in Firefox?

Thanks!

ToolBag · 02-10-2004, 07:11 AM

There could possibly be an extension for this, I really have no idea but keep an eye on the site as traffic slows down and the extension page may be back up shortly.

That's likely because IE is integrated into the OS (see the issues behind the most recent Microsoft anti-trust trial which was going wonderfully until Asscroft took over the DOJ). Perhaps there may be an extension to add that functionality but I doubt it.

deepinjello · 02-11-2004, 08:42 AM

I'm an Opera man, myself.

Prince · 02-14-2004, 08:40 PM

I've tried several...always keep coming back to IE, though. Tried Firebird before the new release, last year sometime, didn't like it, hated the tab thing... Am giving it another try now, we'll see... Lots of people argue over which browser is best...and a lot of folks say IE is shit simply because it's hip to bash Microsoft... But really, the only way you're going to find the browser of your dreams is by using the same method you use to find the girl of your dreams... You try one, and another, and another, until the one that tickles you right comes along.

KUGR · 02-15-2004, 01:27 AM

Mine is Firebird/fox

Tabbed browsing, pop-up/ad blocking, and all the other awesome features just cant be beat!!!

Gotenks · 02-15-2004, 03:36 AM

IE w/ google bar!

panmunjom · 02-15-2004, 04:21 AM

IE6 with Google toolbar and <a href="http://www.proximatron.org">Proximatron</a>.

Finchie · 02-15-2004, 10:25 AM

Firefox with Tabbrowser extensions. I used to be a big fan of Avantbrowser, but it continually made my computer screen black for some reason.

brandon11983 · 02-15-2004, 10:41 AM

Firefox is kickin my ass. I love it.

eyeronic · 03-02-2004, 10:12 PM

Is Mozilla Firebird going to mess with normal surfing for a somewhat clueless web surfer? (Like myself) i.e., is it as easy to use and doesn't mess up on simple websites as IE?

Eye use IE6, but don't particularly like or dislike it.

Latch · 03-02-2004, 10:59 PM

eyeronic.. you'll want Firefox, not Firebird. Firebird is the name of an older version.

Firefox shouldn't mess with you too much. Check out the Mozilla Firefox thread that's on the front page (at the moment) for people's reviews/questions/etc.

_the_wombat · 03-02-2004, 11:23 PM

I use Firefox for most things. It has trouble some stuff I do regulary, IE fills in.

Bugs and all I think it's pretty nice.

Sledge · 03-04-2004, 09:28 PM

I tried switching over from MyIE2 to FireFox, but it didn't really work out. MyIE2 has all the features of FireFox and loads just as fast. The only thing I realllly like about FireFox is the speed with which it displays web pages. That shit is hot.

HeAtHeN · 03-04-2004, 10:53 PM

I use Opera 7.5 for just about everything. There are some sites that are still wonky and I have to use IE but not many.

Opera is the shit....

elko64 · 05-13-2005, 01:53 PM

what web browsers are you guys and girls useing, i am useing firefox at present but still have to use ie for some web sites and for microsoft updates.
has anybody found any better browsers?

connyosis · 05-13-2005, 02:40 PM

Using Firefox under Linux here, my girlfriend uses firefox under XP. We have no need for IE at all, which is nice.

aberkok · 05-13-2005, 03:04 PM

Don't forget about the other threads that have covered this topic before

You'll find plenty of opinions there. The most notable recent one I believe is:
