Best Browser Alternative to Internet Explorer? - GoFuckYourself.com

webmaster x · 08-27-2004, 01:30 AM

What's your favorite non-IE (aka Active XPlorer) browser?

I've been trying out Mozilla's Firefox. Looks good so far, although some pages' tables look squished.

What's your alternative?

Opera? Fastbrowser?

etc?

mardigras · 08-27-2004, 01:45 AM

As long as I'm designing webpages I'm gonna stick with the browser most of my surfers are using.

GatorB · 08-27-2004, 01:46 AM

They all suck. Mozilla loads images SLOW. Hell I'm on broadband not dial-up.

The Truth Hurts · 08-27-2004, 01:46 AM

Fireworks is good...

But IE under SP2 is 100x better.

Groove · 08-27-2004, 01:48 AM

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.2 and like it a lot. However it sometimes fucks-up forms , probably those using ActiveX (ie I haven't checked what the problem is). If it doesn't like a form for some reason I just use IE.

Nolamer · 08-27-2004, 02:38 AM

mozilla is good enough

wdsguy · 08-27-2004, 02:39 AM

I been usin firefox, so far pretty happy with it

Vitasoy · 08-27-2004, 02:51 AM

I use firefox as a alternative, but I still like using ie.

Theodor S. Geisel · 08-27-2004, 03:09 AM

For shits and giggles, I use Lynx as an alternate browser.

xxxoutsourcing · 08-27-2004, 03:11 AM

Opera

woj · 08-27-2004, 03:12 AM

Firefox gets my vote

SomeCreep · 08-27-2004, 03:13 AM

I like FireFox much more than IE

theFeTiShLaDy · 08-27-2004, 03:48 AM

i installed Mozilla Firefox...so far it loads faster than IE but i'm still trying to figure out how to organize all the links that i've bookmarked.

I'm using Opera about 99% of the time now. I have tried Firefox and that's OK, but Opera has way more cool features.

I have a couple sites I often go to that are apparently coded only to work with Explorer properly, so on those I open and use IE. I think it has to do with Microsoft's ActiveX scripting, which Opera doesn't support.

Opera is by far the best browser on the market right now.
