What browser do youse guys use? Why? Now is the time to extoll the virtues of *insert random browser* mihi!

*waits patiently*

Edit: *I* use Firefox. You can still extoll it, in case there are some people on my friends list who use icky IE, but you don't need to extoll it to me :)

I shouldn't have to justify Firefox to you.

You've got 1.0.2, right?

And I adore that icon. Might I filch it?

Avant. Cuz you can have a bajillion windows at once without loading a plug-in.

It has all the perks and convenience of IE with none of the evil hassle.

I know most people swear by Firefox, but I stand by my choice.

Firefox. I like tabbed browsing, nifty extensions, and pop-ups blocked.

[stexgirl2000.livejournal.com]

Firefox! Firefox! Use it! For it has tabs and all sorts of other nifty things and it's open source and people work on fixing bugs and it has good security and it's just COOL.

Did I mention it's open source, so everyone can help on improving it and adding new features? Plus it is free to download.

Besides, I.E. is ebil.

[conuly]

No, yes, yes. Just credit the icon creator - she's part of the keywords.

Avant, that's one I haven't heard of...

recommendeo "firefox" tibi quod "awesome" est.

Firefox.

Tried Opera, but I think it will be for testing codes only.

Of course, my favorite feature of Firefox is my ColorZilla eyedropper thing. It means I can grab the hexidecimal color code for any part of anything on the web. So awesome! It is very useful for solving internal debate over whether this color is different than that color, or for finding the perfect match when coding a webpage around and image.

Didnt you have a Firefox eating IE icon? Or know where I can find it to steal it? I meant to when I last saw it, but forgot...

Eh?

I <3 Avant.

http://www.avantbrowser.com/

My dad, who is always on the up-and-up on new technology, convinced me to use it about two years ago. He's since moved on to Firefox, but I can't let it go.

Oh, and it's got all the other things other people mentioned, too. Maybe I'm just resistent to change in my old age.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

I use Avant.
I will probably be downloading Firefox soon.

[conuly]

Old? You? Never!

I mean that in the good way, not in the bad way of "you'll die within the next few years"

[panda-cookie.livejournal.com]

I use Firefox. You already know how wonderful it is, so... ;)

Camino, which is a 'zilla for OSX.

Forgot why I use it over firefox, but it was a quirky, specific reason why.

[masterflare421.livejournal.com]

I use Firefox, because the original Mozilla was an intense memory hog. I used to use Opera two or so years ago, but then it started crashing on me all the time and completely losing my bookmarks and stuff.

I still have some memory issues because of Firefox, but I can't live without tabbed browsing. Hopefully one day I can install more memory on my PC...

[hopefulnebula]

It's from firefoxusers if I recall correctly. Same as this one.

[ladyshrew.livejournal.com]

Firefox all the way.

[queenmargot.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. Thanks.

I know I'm not old (mostly). There just has to be a reason for the resistance to change. :P

[conuly]

There's a few ways to reduce the memory firefox uses, but I can't recall them off the top of my head.

[queenmargot.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOO. Let's stick together.

I love Avant!

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't mean it as anything against Avant.

I LOVE Avant.

I just want to give Firefox a chance, just like I gave Avant one.

I use firefox because it tends to suck in a way that pisses me off less than anything else I've tried. It has, however, been pissing me off a lot recently (I upgraded to the most recent version and tabbrowser extensions stopped working, and using it without that is driving me nuts) so I may be changing.

[queenmargot.livejournal.com]

Hee. I did that. I just couldn't do it.

I think what threw me off was that you had to get a special plug-in in order to have tabs. That might've changed, because it's been a while since I tried it. But if Firefox wouldn't give me what Avant gives me without any extra work, I didn't think it was worth my time. :P
