Posted By: MattLFC What Browser Do You Use? - 9th Oct 2006 11:17am
I am just doing a bit of research and I believe this will be the one site where I will just get a straight answer.

I am wondering what web browsers people most commonly use. I am hoping this won't just turn into an argument over which browser is best like on every other forum in the world hehe.

For users who dont know what they use, you can tell this from the very top of your web browser (the program you are using to view this website), unless you or your ISP software have tweaked it, it will say something like the following:

Internet Explorer 6: (This is the standard browser with Windows XP)

Cruisewirral.com: What Browser Do You Use? - Microsoft Internet Explorer


Internet Explorer 7:
Quote
Cruisewirral.com: What Browser Do You Use? - Windows Internet Explorer


Mozilla Firefox:
Quote
Cruisewirral.com: What Browser Do You Use? - Mozilla Firefox


Any other browser such as Opera/Safari/Browzar etc can be placed into the other catgory.

This info will come in handy for developing websites as different browsers display things differently.

Thanks peeps! smile

Hahahahaha!


Well i say Opera is best!! and you all suck!!
tease lol

Out of all the browsers ive used, I would personally agree that Opera is the best. But it was a paid browser until this year, so it kind of explains it hehe.

I dont use it as much as IE7 however, which is light years ahead of Firefox for usability and online safety, and probably just edging out Opera at present.

IE7 + Fire Fox occasionally just for
web layouts / compatibilty issues.

This is intresting Hackers : Firefox has JavaScript Flaw

IE7 is now relaesed as a final product. IE 7 Home page and Download
Posted By: MattLFC Re: What Browser Do You Use? - 19th Oct 2006 5:15pm
I see from the poll users are still using IE6. IE7 has today oficially been released to the public - in the intrests of security alone, id recommend you upgrade to Internet Explore 7 asap.

You can do this using either Windows Update or by visiting the Internet Explorer website.

Visit latest breaking news.
You will hear a bleep.

Click on the RSS icon (orange thing)
on the IE7 Tool bar.

And you can subscribe to the new feeds.

To view them later, clik the "Star" on the left tool bar.
Then click on feeds.

I have to sort them out with lots of other stuff too.

Enjoy

Firefoz, it's never given me trouble, and I just wish I'd never have to use a Microsoft product ever again.
Posted By: MattLFC Re: What Browser Do You Use? - 20th Oct 2006 6:48pm
You dont... but this is what makes me laugh about people who hate Micrsoft... they still use their core products, because quite simply, no other products can compete or offer the same level of service.

I can give a CD with any flavour of Linux on that you like (CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, Red Hat 9, Mandrake, SuSe etc) , and you can control it all from the command line and you will never have to use anything Microsoft again.

bash - root@yourpc [~]# /etc/init.d/whatthehelldoidohere??? -al

So dont dis them whilst you still use them, until you come up with a better alternative.

I use Linux and Mac OS. wink

I only use Windows when I use 3D Studio Max.

Well if there was a viable alternative, you wouldnt have to use Windows. I rest my case.
