Opera 10 beta F*CK YEAH MAN

[SilverSakura]

After having IE6 for the longest time, I finally caved in because a ton of people were telling me Firefox is better. I switched, eh, a week ago, and it is great. Much better than Internet Explorer even if it was an older version.

[DcRising]

Firefox 3.5 and Opera Unite.

[AoX]

Firefox 3.0.11, although at very rare occassions the Opera 10 starts up.

[Reecey_Boy]

I've just started to use google chrome, i find it a lot faster and user friendly than firefox and IE :D but that's just my opinion of course, i specially like the starter page where you can just click 1 of your most recent pages :)

[Ian the Korean]

Opera, because FF3.x went to ****. Considering Chrome now that my computer is able to handle it.

[Nikki]

IE 8.0... I don't like Firefox... >>;

[Rªdì¢âl_£Ð]

I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 since it has too many good extensions whose functionality is not available in other browsers. The most important ones are Adblock Plus and NoScript.

I do have Chrome 3.0.190.4 installed (I'm on the experimental branch since the stable branch wouldn't work properly with Windows 7 64-bit) and set as my primary browser. This is so that any HTML files or links won't interfere with my Firefox session, especially if Firefox isn't already started.

EDIT: Upgraded to Firefox 3.5.

[DerfelCadarn]

I'm a Netscape loyalist. No matter how outdated it is, I find that it has exactly what I need and I like the icon a lot too. The colours of other browsers' icons piss me off.

[ALToxicity]

Internet Explorer 6. Sure, no tabs, but it's simple, and google toolbar will go with it. I've messed with Firefox, and Opera, not bad, but I prefer IE.

I don't use internet explorer simply because, to me, it runs slower, I don't like the excess browsers, and many viruses are internet explorer specific, albeit that's changing.

So I've used mozilla firefox without issues, but if someone can convince me of a better browser, I may experiment it with instead.

[Voluspa]

Chrome is the best!

However I do occasionally use Firefox for the addons :).

[KT Samurai]

While I did mess around with Google Chrome I settled on Mozilla Firefox. I have yet to play with Opera but I've found reason to do so since Firefox seems to work just fine, despite some of it's weird quirks (like not being able to Ctrl+T when watching video).

Although at the cost of sending this off-topic, has anybody tried Minefield (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/) yet? Unbelievably fast, supposedly even more so than Chrome, too. But Safari 4 (http://www.paulspoerry.com/2009/02/25/apples-safari-4-browserbeta-destroys-others-in-browser-benchmarks/) might blow all of these away if these early numbers are any indication.

I have Safari 4 right now and the problem with it is... even though it out performs other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, it still cannot hold a candle to Firefox (in my opinion). It has faster Rendering speed and what not, but in the end, it almost doesn't matter because the improvement in speed isn't even conceivable by human eyes and it is limited by your download speed and computer speed as well.

What Firefox has that obliterates most browsers in my opinion is the ability have add-ons. Being a web developer and all, I find that Safari's built in stuff is solid, but having these add-ons for Firefox gives it so much more expandability.

[Frozenshadow]

Internet explorer...unless im hacking...then firefox =P

Opera has been my favorite for a long time. The design and layout just seem to fit perfectly with what I want in a browser.

I've tried IE8 a bit with the Win 7 RC, and it still gets on my nerves.

Most does not correlate with best.

It certainly has the best addons too, but don't imply that more is better. A majority of the FF plugins are ****, or duplicates of other FF plugins.

I couldn't find my way through the amount of ****, so I gave up. The gems were just too hidden in a sea of ****.

Opera widgets also suck. I generally hate widgets anyway. They're gimmicky by nature and serve little purpose. I'd rather Opera went for a full blown addon kit too.

NoScript, if it does what it says on the box, could potentially cripple smaller sites that aren't yet on the whitelist. Which, to be honest, is a depressing situation.

Not a fan of NoScript. Most of the time it's your own fault if you cripple your PC with a malicious script on sites you shouldn't be on. [/rage]

Also, I finally gave Opera Widgets another try and have decided that the Twitter Widget is quite decent.

Help -> Check for Updates

I forgot to mention that I use Internet Explorer, mainly for things that are not compatible with Google Chrome, such as network websites (ABC, The CW...etc.) that have online full episodes. Also, certain game websites don't allow Google Chrome to download games from, so I have to use the utterly slow IE for it.

A quick note for Opera fans: In Opera 10 we'll finally have the auto-update feature. Usually Opera is the innovator, but I can't believe it didn't have auto-updating features yet, to be honest.

Well, as an Opera user I've always been annoyed at the lack of auto-updates.

In fact, as a PC user in general, not having my PC automate tedious and boring tasks has always annoyed me.

Having to be alerted to download something, or to have to check manually is something of the far past.

Sure, but how often they make updates for Opera anyway? If it is about PC in general it has its meaning. Buggy things too, but Opera?

[Clintonio]

It's a matter of convinience. It's something that every piece of software should have if it expects to be constantly updating (which, Opera is, just not very often).

As a developer, I can see that it's lazy not to, and as a user it's just annoying to have to manually do it.

There is no reason not to. It wouldn't even take that long to code compared to other parts of the browser.

It doesn't even support all of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and any of the standards that requires to run the majority of the web applications that we have today, including Youtube.

And web developers everywhere hates everyone who still uses it.

[ALToxicity]

Why, I liked IE 6.

Simple, and, I don't like the add-ons modern browsers have.

It ran youtube perfectly, even when the youtube page told me to update for a better website quality. Alot of websites I go to, I have to run them in compatibility view in order to see the website correctly.

Google Chrome here.

Well, for two years I used to use IE when I had my old (and I mean so old that it was impossible to update it to anything higher then windows 98 without it crashing) computer. That was the worst web-browsing experience I've ever had. Now that I have my labtop, I couldn't be bothered with anything but Firefox.

Firefox 3.5!

[Clintonio]

I presume that guitar site either failed to specify a default font or is using a font that is nonstandard or not available in chrome, since it seems to be a different font family entirely. Maybe even font size too.

I'd blame the site, not the browser, in this instance. IE has broken the web more and more on every iteration.

[Shian]

I'm disappointed. More people should be saying they want to try Opera, not Firefox. ;__;

In all honesty Kaixx, I like Opera a lot.
I actually suggest to people to get Opera moreso than Firefox these days only because Firefox hasn't made any improvements to their usability since they became popular.

The same thing can be said about Safari, IE and I guess Chrome can get a pass because it's new.

I was playing around with Opera Unite and Widgets the other day.
Personally, I feel that Opera is the only browser that actually tries doing more than just being a browser. Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer talk the big game, but I still haven't seen anything substantial.

I really, honestly, could care less how fast a browser is at this point. Some of their claims are ridiculous mostly because their speeds are already so fast, it's not even human perceivable anymore.

The only thing that stops me from using Opera, really, is the add-on support. Widgets suck. Tremendously. Some of their web developer support suck tremendously too. I still have Opera Dragonfly to play around with but... that's something else that I'd have to spend time looking into.

[AoX]

I would gladly use Opera more now because it seems my Firefox 3.5 is bugging extremely (locking up, slow performance, etc.), but it boils down to code-compability and, indeed, add-ons. Unless there is a setting somewhere in Opera that manages to screw the pages up, I can't use it as much as I would like.

The widgets are pretty damn poor. The standalone Facebook one doesn't even work. Especially since Opera is changing so much in it's subsequent releases. They don't seem to care if they "break the web". Which is my favourite attitude, since if you don't spend forever writing backwards compatible code, people will be much more willing not to sit back and not upgrade their old site. It's also good for the economy (gets more cash flowing from companies to developers). [/disgress] But, it doesn't help their widget support much.

Anyway, the majority of pages online work with Opera. There are a few major ones that don't. And some functionality is lowered, like there is no WYSIWYG editor support in a lot of places, unless it's entirely JS, how it should be.

I've only had problem with UK government sites, some sites looking slightly stupid because they use floating frames (reeeetaaaaaards) and a few sites dotted around that serve Firefox only, at which point I press F12, click "Edit site preferences", go to the network tab and tell it to pretend to be Firefox. Easy. ;)

Firefox because it's free and everyone at school uses it and is familiar with it.

[ALToxicity]

I've used IE 6 and 7 and now use IE 8.

At school I've used Firefox. It isn't a bad browser, it runs good. I've tried using Opera, but because of my stupidity, I don't go farther than the first page, probably because only my Dad has Opera, on his laptop and desktop, and his homepage is a KnightFight server, and I just don't want to screw with it.

Google Chrome is a good browser. But I see it as too simple when I open it, no already open favoite tabs.

IE 8 is a good one, though I miss IE 6. 8 gives the "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Webpage." when I'm connected to the internet, the site I'm on isn't having problems, and there are no typing errors in the address because most sites i have favorited or on my browser history. 6 wouldn't do that unless the site's server was down or my internet was down, it didn't give my those cannot display notices for no reason. 6 may not have all the add ons, but it was pretty fast and relieble.

[Rhei]

Oh an i tried opening that link in a new tab.... then tried to switch to that tab once it loaded -which this browser has trouble with loading things in another tab- I couldn't, the browser froze, not responding. Now restore that session...same thing....Yes I know that IE6 is crap today, it worked better with me probably because that's the browser bundled with my computer which is 6 years old?

IE 6 never failed the acid2 browser performance test.I have no idea what CSS2 and XHTML are.

CSS2 and XHTML are programming languages used to build modern websites and IE6 fails completely in that department, resulting in a huge loss of compability for a big amount of sites.

Oh okay. As you can tell I'll never be a web developer ever.

[Shian]

Well, it's too late for getting a new browser......though i might download firefox tonight.


IE 6 never failed the acid2 browser performance test.I have no idea what CSS2 and XHTML are.

IE6 did fail the acid2 browser performance test.
In fact, all acid2 is, is the browser's performance in rendering CSS code.

This is what it should look, if it did passed.
http://files.myopera.com/tarquinwj/albums/45511/3IE8.png - IE8

CSS2 and XHTML is the standard for the Present.
Just to give you an idea of why everyone is pushing for the death of IE6:
CSS3 and HTML5 (XHTML2.0+) is coming out SOON.
Mozilla and Apple have already shipped some updates with CSS3 and HTML5.
There is no reason for anyone to support IE6 when HTML5 and CSS3 becomes the standard.
Unfortunately, users who are still on IE6 whether it's a choice or not... they're completely screwed.

[motoko09]

Currently I'm using Mozilla, firefox

Being me, I am picky.

CSS2 and XHTML are not programming languages. They're actually even more important to the user than that. They're what the browsers use to display websites. Without cross-browser standards, we have sites that look different for almost every different browser. Which sucks for everyone, since then you can't have fancy features.

[Mendou]

I don't use any browsers, I'm too cool for those dumb things.

[Foxtale]

I use good ol' firefox it gets the job done

Firefox is the best I've found when it comes to security.

[zenpher]

Firefox is the best I've found when it comes to security.


I'm not too sure what security means to you or how you even came to that conclusion. The most secure browser is chrome. It separates all tabs into separate processes, has no plugins, and restricts webkit from accessing your files directly.

Oh wow, did you register just to make that post? :0

Anyway, OT. I use Firefox. Been using Mozilla since the old Mozilla suite, so I guess transferring to Firefox was a no-brainer for me. :S It's just the one I'm most used to, and the plug-ins make it hard for me to swap to anything else at this point.

[PurpleDiamond]

I just recently started using Internet Explorer 8 ^^... I used to be using 6 but I decided to get an upgrade last month... I find it works fairly well =]

[Naecroknight]

Firefox like any sane person would. IE has way too many holes

[Krauser-san]

I am currently using Mozilla Firefox. But the current version have bugs and flaws in it that I want to downgrade. Any of you got any problems with Firefox 3.5?

[Saphyra]

-raises hand- I can't log in to any of my accounts with Firefox 3.5; it redirects me to another site called MyFreeze...¬¬
The latest version of Safari kicks ass though, in my opinion at least. ^^

[Mr. X & Mr. Y]

Any of you got any problems with Firefox 3.5?

Many people have problems with 3.5. Just use something else till they repair them.

[Kori]

mozilla fox is the only true one!! xD lol

[Mr. X & Mr. Y]

I used it, I know how great it is. *evades*

[Naruto-Rendan]

internet explora 6 or 7

both are fast and reliable, i heard there have been too many problems with firefox
but im getting IE 8 soon ^^

[Prism]

I used to use Safari pretty intensely, but the release of Safari 4 (non-beta) ended up being worse than Beta. Right now, I'm using Firefox 3.5 with a couple of problems, but not really as many as you would think.

[Pokota]

Hatred for IE6.

http://hey-it.com/download.html


"IE6 saw life in 2001. True, it took Microsoft about 5 years to release the next one, but this is 2009. IE8 is here along with loads of other good browsers. It's time to move on!"

Upgraded from Opera 10 beta1 to Opera 10 beta2 and it's been perfect so far. So pretty, especially now that it lets you add a background picture for Speed Dial.

[Muppers]

Chrome.

Used to use IE but it's so rigged.

[Of The Nightfall]

Firefox.

I started using it about four years ago. Haven't touched Internet Explorer since then.

[Mizumi]

Firefox works perfect for me, others I've tried are IE and Google Chrome, both fail hard.

[aichanA4]

i was using firefox before but it was so bad and keeps on freezing up >< so i switched to opera ^^

[rewert]

Firefox!!! Great browser, even greater add-ons.

[Kenshin Gordon]

Firefox is what I currently use.

[Apple Jack Anarchy]

On my computer, I use Internet Explorer, on my mom's comp (which is this one) and at the clubhouse, I use Firefox.

[{oroka}]

Chrome, usually beta builds.

[Neji195]

i love mozilla, its way faster than internet explorer.

[Lord Mogar]

The browser that the PS3 has.

[t-razz]

firefox definitely

[Prince of Thieves]

Firefox as well. I love its pop up blocker and downloading.

[sCam]

once again firefox rules. im using ff btw.

[Stargaze]

Used to be firefox, but somehow it irritated me. I now switched to Google Chrome. For firefox, it suddenly took a long time to start. I was going to get Safari, but I decided to try Chrome first. And wala, I made a good choice.

[DcRising]

I don't like the fact that Chrome has the tabs at the top of the window instead of having a title bar or whatever you call the bar that goes across the top of the window of firefox.

[ambragino]

look like im the only one who use opera...?!!

[Ian the Korean]

look like im the only one who use opera...?!!

You're 17 people all by yourself? That's impressive.

[cronichazel]

You're 17 people all by yourself? That's impressive.

Dang, I guess he is using proxy accounts to inflate the poll!!!! oh noez!

[Lieutenant Lollipop]

Opera. Fast and simple.

[cronichazel]

Opera. Fast and simple.

I would actually say that "fast and simple" would apply to Chrome more than anything. D;

[Mr. X & Mr. Y]

I would actually say that "fast and simple" would apply to Chrome more than anything. D;
LOLOL! Have you tried some real browser..? (hint - Opera)

[Ian the Korean]

Chrome's perfectly fine too, but I've gotten used to Opera. :3

[{oroka}]

I am using the Chrome 5 Beta and it is rock solid, but most importantly, it is 30-50% faster than Chrome 4, which was still faster than Firefox (and IE is a joke). Opera is STILL faster than Chrome 5, but Opera has a few problems of its own. Security+Speed goes to Chrome.

[Kaixx]

When I used Chrome it was pretty great at first - but the more I used it, the more bugs I kept finding then it eventually felt sluggish.

Opera is always consistent for me. My only beef with it is that it'll automatically delete images in tabs I haven't viewed in a while, but I don't know if that's a feature or just a bug. I still have Firefox for a few add-ons, but it always makes me cry when someones reasoning for using a browser as their main is for the add-ons (and Ad-Block+ is always mentioned). Especially when Opera COMES with an ad blocker. A lot of people seem to not know that. :| I don't use it myself because I don't see the point, though.

[ProtoManX]

Opera mostly some **** in IE8

**** google, mozzilla, and apple

[ChaosLord]

I use firefox.

[Hack Me Babe]

I'm using Chrome but I often use Firefox and sometimes Opera.

Though I don't use it, Safari pwns.

[Nightblade]

I use Firefox but have been getting some random shutdowns lately which can be a real pain (i.e. having lots of academic journals and financial tabs open, crash, having to log in to numerous databases again :( ). Back to the ol' Opera I think.

[StrawHats]

Used IE first. But switched over to Firefox. IE has so much errors and it crashes so much times, it's f***ing annoying.

[Blitzballplayer]

When I'm on my iPod I mostly use Safari
when Im on my comp I use Internet explorer. But I'm rarely on my comp nowadays.

[Lumi Zeya]

IE8. My downloads of Firefox always fail.

[DcRising]

I downloaded Chrome today. Is it really set to default to bing as the default search provider. Mine did that early and I just had to chuckle.

[PEET3R]

Firefox. What you'll definitely need is simple, and everything else is simple enough. Being the best running browser is a plus, too.

[Kewkehtsu]

I've been using Chrome for the past week, so far I like it. I honestly haven't run any tests to compare against FF on this machine.

[Foxyknoxicle]

I switched to Chrome too recently so my vote has changed. The one beef I have with Chrome is its commands within the text editor of this forum (and many others); ctrl+b does not make the text bold, nor ctrl+i for italics, also rather than seeing bolded text within the reply box, all you see is the bold tags around the words. A quick google search let me know this is a problem on Chrome's part, regarding the rendering WYSIWYG options, whatever that means. Other than that it's a great browser.

[Rumiel]

Chrome all the way! =D I like it's modern design and it's easy to use *_* The shockwave can fail on me sometimes though D=

[eisenhower]

I would use firefox, but it went weird on me. Opera for me.

[.tokiko]

I always use Firefox, its really easy.

[Sleeping Forest]

I use Firefox...

that's the only option for me though!

[hizumi12012]

firefox is the best one

[ALToxicity]

I've been using IE8 for a while. I just started using the Royale Noir windows theme instead of Xaphire from the windows blinds program and all of these different visual errors caused by the themes ended. So I can finally use my browser to the fullest. I've used firefox, Opera, The Opera based DSi browser, and Chrome along with my IE.

My dad has way too much stuff suppossed to load when firefox loads so I don't use it. I don't use Opera because I mainly use IE, and because it's one of three browsers installed on the computer, and out of date.

I went rambling.

[Longstreet]

I use Mozilla Firefox if I'll be surfing the net for a long time. Otherwise, I use Google Chrome, to just check things real quick and then go off again.

Why?

Google Chrome starts up faster than Mozilla >_>

[Cheeky-]

Firefox amd sometimes chrome/

[Island]

Firefox, of course. I used to use Chrome when it first came out, but I ran into some crazy problems and switched.

[xMinty]

chrome of course! O-O"
what else? the only thing firefox and internet explorer are good for is installing google chrome x3

[VampyD]

i have used chrome and safari but i am using the firefox right this moment.

[ALToxicity]

I'm using my Dsi's browser.Said browser doesn't agree with A4's coding so I'm forced to login through the incorrect password page and retype my post at least once before quick post works.

[DeadairX]

Chrome for the computer, Tapatalk for the iPhone.

[Cal]

Safari, it's my favorite.

[Trololo]

The one with the compass.

[GDA_Inutaisho]

firefox XD

chrome when i need to get into a section on another site...

[Kenshin Gordon]

I just downloaded Chrome, let's see what it can do.

[SH1NTA07]

I like chrome mainly because u can sync bookmarks and it's nice being able to turn on any of my computers and have the same bookmarks :)

[Ra1nBl00d]

firefox i usually use but sometimes i use chrome

[Haruki-kun]

Used to use IE8 and upgraded to IE9 Beta. IE always crashes for me so I switched to Chrome when I got pissed. Tries using FireFox before but it sucked. It always takes too long to load and it doesn't work on the school's net. Never tried the others before. Maybe I will when I finally get a connection at home, :lol:

[ALToxicity]

Mostly IE8. I downloaded Chrome and love it, has a Hatsune Miku theme, use firefox and opera rarely.

[Foxtale]

Chrome all the way, rocking the hatsune theme

[Tsar]

Firefox for me. Been using it for a year now and find it to run very well.

[chibiurd07]

Mostly Chrome

sometimes Firefox....

I might try this Safari though....

[Poptartmarebear]

Google chrome my brother is like, " Mary it's the best!" so I use that! ha

[Null Ersatz]

Firefox for me, though I'm tempted to switch to Chrome. I had initial problems with it during the beta and since then I have hardly touched it.

[Darkfyre]

I'll switch it up between Moz. and IE for the most part. Those are the only two that I need(I LOVE THE STUMBLE BUTTON!!!).

[Pandamonium]

Firefox.
Sometimes Google Chrome.

[Faerhen]

I frequent Mozilla Firefox on my computer, and sometimes use internet explorer while on my Law Enforcement class' laptop.

[Pizza]

I use Chromium at the moment.

[BlackTemplar]

Firefox just seems to have a lot more stability, although i still havent tried Chrome.

[SH1NTA07]

That is all i use is chrome and i love it

[Risutoa]

Firefox. EI did something a long time ago that made me not like it. >.> Which I don't remember.

[Fustar]

I Used IE for a long time, then some years ago a friend told me to try firefox. Now I have to ask, why would you use anything else?

[N/A]

Internet Eplorer 8.0 for me.

[Silver Reaper]

Internet Explorer 8.0
I've always used IE, so I'm never going to stop using it.

[Tenshin Samurai]

Mozilla firefox but it seems most people use that, probly cus its so user friendly.

[Warning Magnet]

Google Chrome.

[jeffari]

Google Chrome so nice.

[strikerx]

I used firefox but switch over to chrome. I tend to use both 30% firefox and 70% chrome.

[Bongs4Jesus]

I have used/use almost all browsers. I have a lot of browsers, but I mainly use Google Chrome cause I find it like more "cool"

[Bleeding]

Google Chrome-Laptop
Google Chrome-Macbook
Google Chrome-Gaming PC
Safari-iPhone

So i guess i like google chrome the best? lol

[ugzz]

chrome 80%
firefox 15%
built in android browser 5%

[ALToxicity]

Internet Explorer 8- 70%
Chrome-30%
Other Devices
Dsi Browser-100%
Kindle Browser-almost never use

IE is a habit to click but I like Chrome better

[Kopliki]

Firefox 3.6.13 For Ubuntu Linux
When i was a windows user i got fed up with IE crashing so I tried netscape and a few others but they all failed in comparison to firefox and chrome does not hove enough of my favorite add ons to be of any real use to me like video downloadhelper, download them all and the personas gallery.

[ChatterboxZombie]

I ish on good old fasioned FlameFerret
love this browser, i feel very secure using it

[Kopliki]

i actually searched for flameferret and then thought oh wait....

[Horo]

I tried looking that up and couldn't find much, never heard of it before.

[Kaixx]

The lack of Opera love still saddens me to this day.

[LadySnow]

I've been using Opera for almost a year now.

[Sc0tty]

Opera. Been using it for years and never changed

[Sig]

I'm a Google Chrome man myself. It helps protect against viruses pretty well.

[EriKut]

Internet Explorer becuase my computer doesn't have Firefox and I'm not bothered to download it :P

[nabe shogun]

ie9 on my netbook and on my iPod tapatalk app

[cronichazel]

On Firefox 4 on my new desktop. I haven't experienced any of these memory leak issues yet, and the browser has been a pleasure for me to use : )
I absolutely need FF's customize-ability, only thing that is keeping me back from being a Chrome user haha

[Patosie]

Google chrome for it's webdev apps...except the good ones don't work on my macbook `)':

[thom]

I'm a Google Chrome convert.
Once thought that Firefox was the best browser for me -- until it started crashing and shiz.

[saramohebmosa]

as all of you do , I use Mozilla Fire fox , it is really faster than internet explorer , and alot better

hopping I haven't replied in that thread before cuz I feel I did !

[~kumi~]

Mozilla Firefox and Safari

[Bloop]

Damn, there's alot of people using mozilla firefox and Im one of them :3

o and google chrome too;D

[LawlietGuy]

Chrome/
For the boss of people

[wish-maker]

i like firefox the best, but i also use chrome, safari, and opera. :3

[elimzkE]

Since I'm a Linux junkie, I prefer Mozilla Firefox. Very easy to write add-ons for, and is much quicker than the likes of Konqueror or Google Chrome on my optimised setup.
On my Windows partition I still use Firefox as to be in a familiar environment.

[Chrissy-Elric]

Google Chrome~
I don't like any other browsers.

[Seiromem31]

I've used Explorer and Firefox but when I got my Vaio I got fascinated with Google Chrome! Loooove it! lol.

[Inferno]

Google Chrome, because it runs faster and It gots all the adds on I need.

[bloody.rose]

Firefox is the only fast server there. So yeah I use Firefox.

[яɛαρσя]

I use firefox most of the time, if firefox stop working i'll use google chrome and if thats not working i'll use IE. I only use Safari on my eMac :3
