Which is the fastest browser?
Tuesday, August 26, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Microsoft Explorer?
Just kidding. Just the facts people. I have only tried Netscape myself and it not that much faster then ei but maybe its because of my computer (Netscape takes allot of RAM)
I really like the Juno Browser even though it technically isn't a browser on its own (uses ei)
So what browser you use and what browser do you think is the fastest?

I personally use MOzilla, but it's not because of the speed. I think testing Browser speed is for the most part oa thing of the past. Features are the important thing now and Mozilla just beats teh heck out of IE when It comes to that ; the most important being popup blocking and Tabs. Yes I know taht there are some IE based browsers that can do the same but I have gotten used to Moz and I likes it...

I hjaven't seen any IE plug ins that allows EI to have tabs...
But for me with Netscape it is all the features including the tabs and pop up killer. I can also white list sites for pop ups which is cool.
I heard and read that Opera is a dream come true. I might get it for some friends of mine for X-mas
I think I should give Firebird a try and see how it runs on my win98 system.

I was a diehard MyIE2 fan for quite awhile, but recently switched to Firebird. Have to download a couple extensions to equal what MyIE2 comes with, but I find it a touch faster. But speed isn't why I switched, just wanted to get away from IE. MS isn't interested in working on it (except burying it in the OS) so why should we use it when there are others making better browsers with useful features?
Anything based on IE still has IE at its core.

I use IE 6. As long as I have my DSL (256 Kbps) who cares about speed as long as I get to come here everyday?

Opera, though I have had a number of them in the past, it is the best in my opinion so far. Mazillia.Firebird is pretty good as far as it goes, Koa pointed it out to me early this morning and I installed it for about 15 minutes to play around with.
FastBrowser is nice also and also the one that was posted and unposted a month or so back looked interesting. But they had a serious problem with ripping TT's work which is plain crap and enough of a thing to keep it from ever hitting my hard drive again...

I was just curious. I choose not to skin anything on my computer or use any other browser but IE. Maybe I am old fashioned.

The biggest problem with IE is security risks. If you run IE you have to constantly watch for new ActiveX controls and stuff that adds spyware to your computer, also running something like SpyBot becomes an almost daily exercise to keep everything running smoothly. Flash also stopped working for me in IE at home and at work months ago with no fix seemingly possible other than Format. Eh. I've stopped using IE permantly as of about 3 months ago and use Firebird exclusive but have been meaning to try out Opera again.
