Name your flavour ..
What browser do you use?
I read an interesting article on Slashdot that suggested Firefox users on a Mac OS were among the smartest online.. hmm.. does it count if I'm running Firefox on Win XP? (Perhaps not, based on the number of typos I had to correct before hitting Submit)
For anyone that cares, site stats for G-G show quite a broad range of browsers in use:
- Firefox (typically just over 50%)
- IE
- Safari
- Camino
- Konqueror
- Playstation Portable
Pardon my ignorance, but .. What are Camino and Konqueror?

(P.S.: Is there some gadget to bring my bookmarks from Firefox BACK to IE, or are those things still kinda one way?)
It was not as difficult as I thought: you have to save them in the usual .html format and then IE can import them easily. The only irritating side effect is that all accentuated characters (actually all characters above ASCII original 127) get mangled.
It's Not True
Firefox users on a Mac OS were among the smartest online.
I'm sorry but Firefox users on Mac OSX in VMware on Gentoo/Linux are smarter.
Back to IE
A geek's patience has limits... this 3.0 version, what a mess!

good ol' Netscape
Aja!!! Nobody mention the out of "stadards" that
Netscape integrated and where the "cool features" of that navigator,
such as Javascript with Live Connect and the support for Applets (which I don't
remember if were supported by earlier versions of IE, probably not due to the
fact that it was the competence, I remember such crazy and desperate efforts of
using ISAPI extensions for web programming in VB!!).
And for your laptop...well, I'll suggest you get a new One.. here In
Mexico is Father’s Day next Sunday and we have a lot of hot daddies (papis in
Spanish ) in this group!
So let’s celebrarte with a brand new Computer!!!! (My favorites’ are Dell
but I have an HP right now and it works fine =)
good ol' Netscape
Hey Tralfaz,
I remember it well. Right now I go back and forth between IE 7 and Firefox. What I love about Firefox is after every session, a box comes up with options to delete all personal data and search entries etc. Not like IE where you have to do a drop down and then select what to delete each and every time. It also seems to take its time doing it.
Sorry about your laptop. Perhaps it's just depressed? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are considered great comfort food. You could make up a large one, place it on the keyboard, then firmly close the lid. Wait for one hour. Can't guarantee the results!
I'm back, my laptop is
I'm back, my laptop is suicidal, trying to figure what the problem is.
Firefox. I had been using Netscape since 1997 (anyone ever hear of Netscape?) but now it's Firefox. I've alway been a supporter of the underdog.
What ever happened to that
What ever happened to that varnish of neutrality "oh, I use the technology that most suits my needs" / "oh, I am not religious about anything" ? :-D
Come on people! ;-)
Standards!
Making up their standards is progressing!!!
How are new technologies supposed to born? Of course MS breaks the paradigms and standards and leads a change to innovation!!
Of course I'have tried Firefox (Actually I'm using it because I used it as my gay browser for porn and stuff like that ). Hahaha
They Work!
Yup, because bad people out there use them as mallware just as Nuclear Energy might be used in different ways....Come on guys, Don't hate the gamer, but the game!
MS Boy?
javaman dared to admit:
haha I think I'll have to say Internet Explorer... haha I know!! You are going to hate me!!
oooh ... You've at least tried Firefox, right?
However please think how Internet Explorer with the integration of all of the other MS technologies (almost all by means of activeX) enhanced the experience of the user and helped to develop the idea of things such as Ajax)
Personally I love how Internet Explorer ignores standards and then make up their own
Uhhhhh huh. That activeX
Uhhhhh huh.
That activeX works really great when it installs malware on your system too.
I'm such a MS Boy!

Firefox
I switched over to firefox a couple of years ago after IE kept giving me too many viruses due to certain sites that I liked to peruse on my 'alone time.' And so I switched to firefox to get out of that hassle and it has worked amazingly for me. I almost never have problems with it and I don't plan on switching anytime in the near future.
One of the main reasons I like it is because of the method it does tabbing. IE feels like it does tabbing slowly compared to firefox. Firefox also feels faster for going to websites and such. I also really like have extensions on my browser. I think I am currently running 7 extensions, and thats only because 4 of them are currently not supported on firefox 3.0 RC1. (Such as del.icio.us extension.. which I thought would be one of the first to update, but apparently they are slow over there).
Oh and SaintCahier, I've never encountered that bug either. Not even for a single website. Maybe I'm just not visiting the same websites as everyone else who are getting all these 'submit forms' problems...
Camino is a Mac OS X web
Camino is a Mac OS X web browser based on Firefox with an interface designed specifically for OS X. Firefox's interface kinda clashes, although it's much better in version 3. The only drawback is it doesn't support Firefox extensions.
I use Safari because all my passwords are saved in it and my bookmarks are autosynced with it. I used to use it as an RSS reader, but I switched to NetNewsWire (which autosyncs with a web account which can be accessed anywhere, including an iphone).
I tried switching to Firefox 3, but i'm comfortable in Safari. I do like the extensions though, like Adblock, NoScript, and Stumbleupon (although I found the Adblock and Stumbleupon plugin's for safari, although they are technically 'hacks').
Bug in Firefox?

hmm.. I must admit, I haven't had that. I've got one site that refuses to let me hit Enter for a submit, but at least that's consistent. Clicking Submit will still work every single time.
You could, of course, take the time to document and report the bug?
Konqueror is the default
Konqueror is the default web browser of KDE. I was a faithful IE user until version 7. But then Microsoft shot its own foot: it gave me tabs on a crappy version of IE. By the time I've became fed up with IE7, I couldn't simply get back to untabby IE6, I finally migrated to Firefox... talk about bad marketing decisions.
Firefox has a bug, however, which is getting on my nerves. Sometimes, for no visible reason, a form won't submit (either by typing Enter or by clicking submit). It simply refuses to do it. I have to reload the page and restart from scratch. Each time it happens, it's a water drop on my patience's bucket: the day it overflows, I'm back to IE.
