Poll question: What is your favorite web browser?
:shrug:

Netscape and Mozilla are my faves, though security issues aside, IE is quite acceptable as well.

I've always had problems with Konquerer on many websites, and I've never seen the need to use Opera when Mozilla, Netscape, and IE already exist and are free. Nautilus is missing on some functionality as well...

11. Safari does a fantastic job of blocking pop ups
I haven't seen a pop up in ages!
It has some bugs, but they should get them worked out.
Google search is also built into the browser.

15. Safari is da bomb
So far for me, OS X and Safari have both been bullet proof.

Switching to Mac was the best thing I've done.

Pick the whole thing up by the chrome stem, plus a kybd.

I'm on my second iMac (this one a G4).

20. Safari
here as well. Don't forget tabbed browsing and built-in spell check. Macs rule!

21. I like OmniWeb best
of the mac browsers. If only it had tabbed browsing it would be perfect.

25. OmniWeb is pretty good
but lacks tabbed browsing. They have been a Mac browser even before OSX, They were developers for NeXt.

24. Safari is built using Konqueror code.
In turn, Apple has contributed to Konqueror.

I like Konqueror too.

I'll leave the spelling stay, to show my folly...

8. Safari
...far and away the finest browser known to man! Ok, that's a little over the top, but i've never had such a problem-free online experience as i've had with Safari on Panther...

12. Opera's really fast, and you gotta love those Norsemen,
but sometimes on some sites it's a little flaky, so Mozilla comes in a close second.

27. It is now called Camino. I fear that Firebird is stealing its
thunder. Which reminds me. Thunderbird is a very good e-mail client.

29. Since I added a pop-up blocker: Netscape
I liked Opera a lot before their most recent "upgrade". The newer version crashes too often.
Mozilla is good, but a little too primitive-looking.
Never used Konquerer or Nautilus.
IE is evil. All browsers occasionally have problems, but when IE farts out it crashes my whole computer.

30. I avoid MSIE like the plague.
I use Netscape 7.0 simply because MSIE is most hackers' favorite target. I don't have any trouble with it.
