FireFox is the way, everyone should use Firefox...imo
Opera is older than firefox. Also, Opera is very suited for tabbed browsing. And you can customize the interface really easily, if there's something you'd like to change. All buttons can be removed or moved around.Quote:

Internet explorer is not cool, and the rest do not satisfy. All need to be much more customisable, and with clicks of a button to change great functionality. I want to have tabs within tabs, search-able and scrollable bookmarks with options for icons or text or both, I want a nicer interface, that can be customised in terms of where you want to put the different toolbars and interfaces. And I can think of much more.
/me picks nose.
I believe Firefox comes closest to this thoughQuote:

I still love FF though. Best browser I've ever seen.

I'm just saying that firefox crashes more or less 6 times a week, safari crashes 14+, opera more.Quote:

Firefox is amazing if not overloaded with addons. It is, however, easy to overload it with addons. Firefox is my webdev browser. I use Chrome as my daily browser, though. It's just so damn fast. Offers all the functionality I need with the Beta build, which supports extensions. I heart Chromed Bird and Pendule.
This thread is so... derp
Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's so ridiculous to have another browser installed for maybe 10 minutes before declaring that you've "tried it out" and "it really sucks".Quote:

[QUOTE=Jesus of Suburbia;1320265I tried chrome but it sukked ass.[/QUOTE]
How dare you! With a few good extensions and you getting used to it, Chrome can be the most badass thing ever. Trust me, I used Firefox for years, and after using Chrome, I can't imagine going back.
You don't exist either, Khh.Quote:

I can then sticky the video to all workspaces, and continue to browse the web and flip around my desktops
Much more usable than having video confined to the browser
(added benefit, is the videos are streamed in H.264, rather than flash's crappy swf)

Actually the flash video format is flv, and with flash > 9 it supports H.264 encoding :pQuote:

well, whatever
streaming H.264 via flash via a browser plugin pegs my cpu @ 20%
streaming H.264 straight to my video player = 10%
Actually mario it does have an extension to play youtube videos directly from the browser while surfing the web
I tried to install the adblocker for Chrome...gave up after 30 minutes of trying to sort things out. Not exactly user-friendly...
Really? Maybe you're doing it wrong. I googled "Chrome adblocker", hit the second or third link, clicked "install addon" and bye-bye ads.Quote:

Also, the flash blocker is really nice, it blocks all flash until you click on the element you want to activate. Makes surfing so much faster, then there's a add-on tool that, while watching any video in your browser, you click it's button and it dims the entire page except fore the video so that all there is to see is the video, cinema like :)
Ah, that's better. Thanks!
I wasn't going to say anything about it the first three times I saw this thread.
But you have given SO MANY THANKS, Jesus of Suburbia. And unnecessarily. And I shall keep on topic now that this is out of my system. Please do not thank me for this post Jesus.
This topic has already been delt with.Quote:

Hehe I like the picture at the start of the thread. Opera won't let you inside completely... I like that in a woman. Opera+me=<3
:3
I've got 15 add-ons installed (literally) which together make it the perfect browser :) I've got a nice OSX skin that integrates with my windows visual theme, I've got smooth scrolling, i've got my tabs in a sidebar on the left and I can scroll through them by mouse-wheel, etc :)
Chrome is OK.
Opera I've not tried
IE should die in a fire
Incase you liked chromes speed, you can bring it to firefox via this:Quote:

That's what mine searches.Quote:

That's how I search with firefox, too. Generally Ctrl+T for a new tab w/ cursor in address bar, then g, w, d, y, i (google, wikipedia, dictionary.com, youtube, google images) and my search terms.Quote:

Ah, the great debate all over again.
Opera rules.
That's it. I can't go back to any other browser. The mouse shortcuts, speed dial, the block content feature, but above all Opera link and the synchronize feature... (and did I mention the mouse shortcuts? I'm so addicted to them, I try to use them in Windows explorer) Other browsers may have some of those, but not all.
I feel I must continue my Chrome Crusade. Honestly, the only advantage Firefox has is that it's more common, and that won't last long.
Addons, addons, and...yeah, addons. :P I have all of those on FF...plus personas!Quote:

I personally prefer Google Chrome because it is simple and takes a lot less processing power than any other Web Browser.
