So i'm guessing that about 99% of people reading this post are using Internet Explorer. Just thought i'd put this thread up so that people can say what other browsers are available.

I've started using Opera (opera.com) which is superb. Have only found that i had to go back to IE when ordering a fathers day card off of moonpig.com.

[kendra k]

i use mozilla and sometimes firebird. i think a lot of people here use mozilla.

I use Mozilla firefox usually.. Blocks all those annoying Java things, popups and Ads. Plus you can have several windows open in the one screen.

The only downside is that some pages where you need a popup doesn't work, but overall its a lot better then IE.

[mungrymatt]

I always liked Netscape, when it was pure and free of Ads and spyware.

If it's an auto pop-up just click the icon and unblock site, then refresh.

I use firefox.

[StaticFish]

Try Mozilla Firefox.... its the greatest thing since sliced bread

No actually... its better

[Sidders]

What's the best? I've always used IE because I can't really find fault with it, apart from pop-ups which I block with the google toolbar anyway.

I normally use IE to browse, but have Opera and NS7 installed for testing purposes as well. I'm getting flashbacks of timb/ Morals arguments...

[Ickle Angel]

I usually use IE but would like to try something else. Lol I had that flashback too Topher. It went on until timb left. Now neither of them hardly ever come here.

[Adam]

In some respects i'm glad they dont.. The reason Timb left was because of the Flame factor.

Thats a nice thing to say Adam when I still come here isnt it? Very sensible

Well one of them had to go because they clearly didn't get on. Morals still posts which is a sign that he still a member. Please don't take it personally because he's your future husband, its just I never liked him anyway.

Anyway, back on topic. I dont think there's anything wrong with IE.

[Ickle Angel]

The only reason I want to change is because I have started to get loads of pop ups with IE which I know with Opera you dont get these

[Adam]

A Simple pop blocker which can be downloaded from somewhere like google will block pop ups.

I've got Google toolbar operating at the moment.

[Ickle Angel]

well Im going to be buying a firewall at the weekend and so I might change then Ill see ....

There's alot wrong with it. Search and ye shall find. You shouldn't need to download a pop up blocker. Firefox has one built in, and a search field for google aswell.

Try writing strict standards compliant xhtml, getting it to display on all browsers the same is rather difficult sometimes, mainly because of IE.

[kendra k]

yeah. stupid IE. i really hate it when some sites are coded such that they only work in IE. it's usually when i'm trying to register with dell or mcaffee. damn the man.

man, morals and timb- totally forgot about that. maybe i should go back and read the archives. speaking of which... never mind. i'll behave myself.

I can - it actually lets virus things have access to your computer. Also the tab things are really useful on the Mozilla type browsers. Mozilla / Netscape / Firefox are actually the same code with slight adjustments. Use Mozilla with a fast computer or Firefox with a slower one.

I can’t say I like Opera that much to be honest, and you have to pay for it.

[jc]

Safari. I keep FireFox and (the final ever version of) IE in case of emergencies and accessing bank accounts from crappy banks. - jc

[lister]

Firefox is my main browser.

[Morals]

Much as I love Opera I've been having problems with it on my laptop recently, so I'm using IE again. :S

[Mcqueen_]

... and (the final ever version of) IE ...

I thought there was one last version with built in popup blocker and tabbed browsing planned?

[Dickie]

One thing i'm starting to notice is when i'm running ad-aware it's coming up with about 1-2 cookies. Whereas with IE i averaged about 8-10 over the same period.

Hmmmm

[iSeb]

im use IE primarily, and i have the MSN tool bar which blocks pop-ups. i find it ok for what i need....

[Mcqueen_]

Do you view your own site alot?

Messes up for me. [sebbywood]
