Great ! how to make a choice a bit harder.

Thanks.

At this point my mind is going for Fire fox cause everyone says it's cool.

But Opera is still in the race tho. I just never heard of it before.

There are really some titles in that list where you could go to jail for dude.

I hope it's not what it looks like.

Go to jail for reading TorrentFreak? Not very likely..

Don't worry, there's not anything wrong with it. It's a family/work-place safe news site.

you can check it up for yourself TorrentFreak

That's not what mine looks like. But yeah, basic function seems to be the same. I didn't know how it was in Opera. Safari's news reader sucks so much..

Chrome, for sure. Simple, fast, and as mentioned if it crashes you can restore you tabs. If you're doing research that is gold!

After having used it now for some time I cannot go back to firefox. I just can't..

I had Firefox for the last two years. Recently, a friend of mine told me about Opera. There's no comparison in my book! Opera is faster, way more organized, and has a lot of neat features...like speed dial and private browsing. The increase in speed though was noticeable and sealed the deal. You can download them both, try them out, and un-install what you're not going to use.

Well thanks everyone for the advice.

I just installed Opera. I'll you know if it works out or not.

An excellent choice! Love Opera.

You should try it out on your cellphone as well. Works like a charm.

I've just bought a cell phone without all those gadgets. I never use them anyway.

Edit.

Was really hard to get to.

I am using Safari, and love it right now.. I used firefox, for awhile but it got buggy, and crashed or chaffed way to much for me. IE8, well, is crap.. IE8 is for the brain-dead..


I tried Opera, also but like Safari, better..

As long as it supports java, operamini will run on it. Works fine on my old SE 702C.

Don't tell me you're using Safari on a Windows machine. All the software Apple ever made for Windows is rubbish. On Mac OS X Safari is okay but I prefer FireFox over it so much

I use:
Firefox for general internet business
Chrome for watching online t.v.
Opera for ATS.



...unless I'm at work, where it's Firefox all the way.


Tried Kameleon and didn't like it.

IE is balls.

No real reason why I do this, just habit now I guess.

to each his own..

My browser is not that important, yet Its fast and has a good spell check for me, when I write on the board..

I have a bit older system and I prefer Opera for its speed and compact interface. I like the concept of having tabs in the title bar, saves useless space. The startup and page load time is simply the lowest of all browsers I tried, and Flash and JavaScript run most smooth. I also have FF, chrome and IE installed, but only use IE sometimes for incompatible sites. If Opera had IE tabs like you can install in FF it would be perfect.

don't start...

I have tried allot of browser, and I like Safari...


Not as customizable as Firefox, per se, but its good for what I want out of a browser..




With that said I am moving on..

You can have all the final words now..

Im surprised nobody mentioned OperaTor yet.

Considering this is a conspiracy website and many of you are concerned with privacy, why all the talk about Google Chrome which saves all your browser history and tracks all of your information too.

The reason OperaTor is the best browser is simple. It combines the best internet browsing experience of Opera plus the best anonymity program on the planet the Tor network (not to be mistaken with torrents) Not to mention its a portable software which means no installation and you can put it on a flash drive and carry it anywhere and surf anonymously at the library at the cafe, wherever.

OperaTor is a portable software which allows you to browse the web anonymously. It combines the power of the Opera Browser, Tor and Polipo. With OperaTor no data will be stored at the computer you plugged your portable memory into. The protocols which OperaTor anonymizes are HTTP and HTTPS, thus if you want to stay anonymous you should avoid using other Opera features (e.g. Java, JavaScript, Bittorrent, integrated e-mail and IRC clients).

or if you already have a browser of choice and want the benifits of the Tor Network click on the link below. There is even an integrated Firefox version.

www.torproject.org...

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features.

Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy.

Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers. Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.

Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and dissidents. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use Tor to allow their workers to connect to their home website while they're in a foreign country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're working with that organization.

I agree. I had to use Windows when my iBook died last Summer & I thought I'd just give it up altogether. Clean, quick & eeeeasy.
