Well i have been using internet explorer almost all my life, but i was just introduced to firefox by a friend, and on the way i found references to opera, aprently this are the top browsers, and i dont know wich one to use, i am currently alternating between firefox and ie, trying to see wich could do what, some one help me, wich one is the bes and why, what functions do they provide?
everybody has their own preference as to what they like or dislike. keep trying all 3 for awhile so you can decide for yourself which 1 you are going to use.
i just read a thread in this section about pipelining and stuff on fire fox and it is the fastest thing i have seen, i havent used opera yet, but can some one tell me its benefits like cons and pros of the programs
Rather than cut and paste, here is what I said in a previous thread on the subject. It is the 2nd post in that thread. I use Opera and have been for years, using tabbed browsing and mouse gestures way before there was a Firefox browser. The pipelining you mentioned in Firefox is enabled by default in Opera as well, you don't have to go to a config:about page to turn it on. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/190191 I use Firefox at work and it's ok but I always choose Opera when I have a choice. Firefox does have a lot of extensions which is one of it's strengths, but many of them are just mediocre really and many are also already built in to Opera such as mouse gestures. The other argument I have heard is that Firefox is that it is Open Source. That would be good if you wanted to program something for it then also have to reprogram it every time a new version came out since it wasn't in the main code base. Below is a comment from slashdot about a user in that exact position. He submitted bug reports in CSS to Opera and Firefox, Opera had theirs fixed in the next beta. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=162788&cid=13602910
i hear about Opera, but Firefox is fine for me. Use Firetune to get a bit better performance, and you'll love it, too
Mozilla and Firefox are the best of the browsers out there... I especially like the extensions that can be used to get rid of unwanted garbage from web pages like ADBLOCK and Rip it Permanently.... http://www.mozilla.org https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=mozilla&category=Web%20Annoyances&numpg=10&pageid=2 http://mozdev.org/index.html
