Browser war - why do you love your browser ?

[Guest]

[eXPerience]

What do you love about your browser and what would you like to see in it ? I would love to see what people think about it 

Personally, I think Opera is great. It's f :oast (with the turbo function is WOW  ) and I really like the speeddial.

So what about you ?

well mine is Firefox,3.0.10,and I really cant say that i love it,I am just so used to it
i cant get comfortable with anything else.
I love the add-on's,No-Script,Ad-Blocker Plus.
I thank DownLoadThemAll is really great,and I have not seen anything come close to it in other browsers..
I wish Firefox would start a little quicker.
And also run a little lighter.
(Getting rid of my favorite theme Aeon,and going to the default ,mud ugly, theme saved a shocking amount of RAM.)
Over all, I am pretty happy with Firefox.

Why I like Google Chrome.... Hmmm..
1. Light
2. Fast
3. Pretty Secure And STABLE
4. Just Disable Few Things and Walla....

I've tried Opera, IE6,7,8, FF 3, Safari, etc etc
I like Chrome Better Then anything...

My preferred browser is TheWorld 3 (www.ioage.com)

Why?
Fast enough
Light enough
Domain auto-completion
Mouse gestures
Integrated downloader
Integrated media capture
Mutli tab preview/navigation
Skinnable 
Reliable

In reality, I don't have an overly strong preference for a particular browser, but TheWorld 3 is comfortable. As long as whatever browser is secure and reliable and I can get to the data I need to get to.

Well...I like the add-ons in Firefox.  If Opera or IE8 had the add-ons I like, I might switch.   (I like Reminderfox.)

I like Firefox 3 ... (Had Opera before).

I can't now imagine browsing without those noscript, adblockplus.... Have speeddial addon now which I liked in Opera a lot. These saves a lot of bandwidth with better speed. Feel more confident of security in FF with noscript (and of course Comodo!).

For some sites I still have to go to IE, as the sites which has glitches in FF or Opera works fine in IE!

Overall I like FF as it delivers almost most of the things I expect from a browser.

Opera works straight out the box.
No need to install extensions, everything is there already.

I really like firefox and the only thing I would like better is something to scan all files when downloaded for viruses, they say there is anti-virus integration but there isn't. Maybe a merger with virus total and access to their database to check the md5 against and give you a percentage that file might be malware.

Hello
I'm currently on Firefox because I like the way it can be customised in to the likes of an individual. It's fast too - perhaps not as fast as Google Chrome, but light years faster than IE.
It's also a safe browser and does not hog resources as much as IE does.
Moreover, it has a dedicated team of people developing it - their response to fixing bugs is second to none (which has been borne out by a recent report from Secunia if I'm not mistaken).

I've also tried Google Chrome and Opera 9.64. I like both of them, but although Google is blisteringly fast it gives an impression of an unfinished product. The fact that googleupdater.exe was running all the time even if Chrome itself wasn't also wasn't to my liking, that's why I uninstalled it.

As far as Opera is concerned I can say that I adore it. It's the most thought-through browser I have ever used, offering plenty of customisation opportunities. However, it's a bit heavy on RAM usage and, as far as I know, doesn't have as many add-ons as Firefox has which rendered it my second browser.

Last but not least, it's very hard to kick the habit of using one browser and switch to another one, especially if you consider the fact that I have been using FF for about 2 years now.This is why I stick to it!

Just my 2 cents....
Regards

So COMODO is aiming to a make a browser huh ? 

[patrice58]

Just make it as fast as Chrome, with loads of add ons like Firefox, make it open tabs like Opera and make it as secure as Firefox. Also make it have time machine as standard for run in a sandbox as standard.

As mentioned I use Orca Browser primarily and Opera as my second browser, I'd like to see something in the lines of VEngine incorporated into all browsers but not only to flag secure sites for banking or other online transactions but also to flag dangerous sites such as Finjan and other site advisors do but with Green, Yellow, Red & Grey frames around the browser window to denote safety/trustworthiness factor of a given site before you click on anything contained within the site in question as comodo does now.
Just an idea
