I use Safari. It comes with Macs, and I prefer it over IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, etc.

I use Mozilla Firefox only, the only time I ever use IE is when it comes to media, because mozilla sucks when it comes to windows media player. I mite download opera and see how it does, I like experimenting with different browsers. I wonder if you can download Safari for version 8.5. hmm...

Firefox. I need tab-browsing, and I love the extensions. Plus, IE commits major crimes against web standards, and I...so won't start this rant, because I seriously doubt anybody cares. :oops:

Netscape 7.1. Just so you know, sometimes it won't open and you have to reinstall it, but that's the only complaint I have about it. It comes with a popup blocker, search feature, built-in AIM (with less features), an email viewer, and it's safer than IE. It doesn't have too many display problems either.

I use IE. Simple. Visually pleasing. And it's pretty fast on my comp.

Actually, Mozilla Firefox and Netscape are identical, the only difference from them is the way they look, besides that everythings the same.

I run AOL since my parents have it, and it works just fine, and has good spyware/pop-up preventions. I haven't bothered downloading any other browsers, although sometimes I use IE as a secondary one.

True, except that Netscape 7.1 is the precursor to the current iterations of Mozilla, IIRC. Netscape is from when AOL still owned Netscape's brand, and Mozilla is post-spinoff.

Mozilla Firefox...IE sucks because that's how so many people get spyware and there's a lot of security loopholes.
Everyone who has IE, I suggest you change your browsers.

Mozilla's not any more secure than IE in terms of a lot of security issues, it's just that nobody writes viruses for it because nobody uses it ;). Safe by default.

I use Internet Explorer as primary, and use Netscape for transfers.

Tue Jul 20, 2004 3:14 am

I use IE.

Tue Jul 20, 2004 3:18 am

I use AOL. I don't feel the need to install anything else.

Don't worry, as Mozilla gains popularity they'll start writing viruses for it, well I guess its all relevent, because in the end were all at the mercy of fanatical Linux hacker community.
