Guest Jordan Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Yet another new MS program i can't run... stupid x64.
arab_freak Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I had BETA 1. They copied everything off Opera and FireFox.
CompSci Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 I had BETA 1. They copied everything off Opera and FireFox. well it atleast i will help the masses of people who do not know of FF (yeah i know ) the main concern is getting these people to download IE7 which a whole different story, as one could see with the Service pack 2 in the summer of 04 dibocle
dabookerman Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I am a very strong IE user, not because i dont like FF because i have that on my slow as fuck PC. but on this laptop, everything is tip top, and IE doesnt cause any slowdown and the main reason is im too damn used to it. its pretty nice. no changes that i dont like. so yeah
Jon Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I will never leave firefox, I use Opera on the odd occasion but I find it doesnt display some sites properly and it can take a while to load.
Guest Jordan Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 look how messy the top of the window is :s Opera would take some unseating as my windows browser of choice. I even prefer it to Safari (which is no slouch) on the old Mac. The next opera is already at beta, and is shaping up to be pretty special. Opera... erk, i was never a fan of that. I've used Slimbrowser for about two years which has all the function and miles more that i'd ever need from my browser. Tabs, pop up blockers, AutoLogin, Groups (so you can open multiple sites at once) and that kinda thing.
DCK Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I like that message down left 'Done, but with errors on page.' on the program's own promotion site. Firefox all the way for me
AshMat Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Looks nice to me, i tried to switch to FF and then opera, but im too used to IE now. And i didn't get Opera at all, i liked firefox though.
Bluejay Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Needs service pack 2 so thats me out. I really like FF but its such a memory hog, only two tabs and already 66megs. Tried Opera, was alright, 'bought time I gave slimbrowser a try I suppose. Is it really more than IE with tabs? I'll miss my extensions too much though, adblock, fasterfox and bugmenot.
RoadKill Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Opera... erk, i was never a fan of that. I've used Slimbrowser for about two years which has all the function and miles more that i'd ever need from my browser. Tabs, pop up blockers, AutoLogin, Groups (so you can open multiple sites at once) and that kinda thing. I'm firmly in the Slimbrowser camp. I've used IE 7 on Longhorn and it really isn't anything that special. I'll stick with Slim :P
AshMat Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 My problem with opera mainly was not being able to transfer my favourites from IE, how the heck do i do that? If i get that, ill give it a try.
Dieter Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Opera is a godly browser (started using it after FF got memory leaks) once you get used to it, the only annoying bit is it never seems to save my passwords on some sites...bleh.
AshMat Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 WOWO, i'm really enjoying Opera, i mgiht be sticking with this, voice commands ar only being picked up half the time. I love the mouse movements though.
McPhee Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 might give opera a try, using FF at the moment. i never realised how used to FF i'd gotten until i had to use IE a few weeks back, i'd completely forgotten how to do all but the most basic tasks. so far i think: FF > IE > Netscape (Netscape is the most god awful browser ive ever used)
Raining_again Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Well overdue from ms, but come on, opera kicks it ass. The top bars do look a lil messy aswell! I liked firefox when i had it, but strangely it kept dying on me ¬_¬
Charlie Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 I've been using Opera since they gave it away free on their 10th birthday. It has everything in it from the start, you don't need to download a plugin for everything like you do with Firefox and it came with a Mac OS X theme to match the rest of my computer The FF compatibility issue is still about, when I was desiging WifiKarts v1 it would work perfectly in Opera and IE but not at all in FF. I'm sure it was working with IE at one point, but it doesn't properly anymore...
