Fact.

 

[crawlingpeter]

unfact

 

[SD-Ness]

unfact

 

[Teknopathetic]

Indeed, unfact.

 

[Diablos]

It's faster, looks better, intergrates mail better, blocks popups just as well, has more features...

 

[RedDwarf]

I also declare this to be an unfact.

 

[Kon Tiki]

I was a former Opera user. It has nothing on Firefox.

Fact or Fiction: You Decide!

who gives a fuck?

 

[Diablos]

State your reasoning, fools!

 

[Suerte]

IE for life yo!

 

[mjq jazz bar]

It isn't free.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Fact.

Firefox is strictly a browser. Mozilla is the internet suite app.

 

[Fallopian Tube]

I like both browsers, but I use Opera cause its super fast on my super slow system...Firefox is super slow

Plus Opera's customizability is unmatched by any program.

 

[Diablos]

Cool, where did you get that?

[mjq jazz bar]

But you have to pay!

 

[Teknopathetic]

Opera's resource heavy, gaudy, and strictly as a browser, sluggish. That said, of course Opera integrates mail better, becasue it's a fucking suite. Firefox is strictly a browser, asshat.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i don't see a problem with paying for a browser. Next to your OS it's the second most use piece of software on your computer. i just think Firefox works so well for free that there's no need to bother with Opera, which is an excellent browser as well. i'm content waiting for programmers to write Firefox extensions that emulate features in other broswers.

 

[Diablos]

Hmm, it loads a little faster than Firefox on this machine.

Well, that's what I mean. When something so good is free, why should I bother spending money on something whose advantages are negligible?

 

[Fallopian Tube]

You can add that proxy thing on Opera too http://nontroppo.org/wiki/CustomButtons#quickprefs

 

[Diablos]

...now what are some good proxy servers

 

[dynamitejim]

Opera is definitely the fastest browser I've tried. You can customize it to look however you want and it's very easy to do so. I use Firefox as my backup browser.

Or you can just d/l Firefox.

 

[goodcow]

IE for life yo!

 

[Mejilan]

I'm currently enjoying my third day of Firefox. No more IE!

 

[Teknopathetic]

For something that looks so much better than firefox, people sure are trying to emulate it with Opera.

 

[Fallopian Tube]

Opera's resource heavy, gaudy, and strictly as a browser, sluggish. That said, of course Opera integrates mail better, becasue it's a fucking suite. Firefox is strictly a browser, asshat.

You can also make Opera into strictly a browser by removing its mail/chat client dll, which is whooping 200k in size.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Or...I can skip all the work and just get Firefox. Yeah.

 

[DarienA]

IAWTP

 

[Mejilan]

Firefox forever!

 

[Fallopian Tube]

Deleting a dll = "all the work"

mmhmmm

 

[Che]

Fact.

PS. The people who have tried one of them and still prefer IE don't deserve to live.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Fallopian: when I don't have to do said work with Firefox, yeah, it becomes "all the work."

 

[Shoryuken]

Because of all the recommendations in this thread I just downloaded Firefox. Do I have to download any plugins to use Java or Flash or are they already integrated into the browser?

If you already installed java you don't need it. You might need the mouse gestures plugin it's very useful.

 

[Mejilan]

I had to redownload Flash, I think.

Maybe it was just a new version, dunno. Didn't have to get a new Java, however, and I didn't need any of the plug in extensions. Though, after a day or two, once I got familiar with Firefox, I experimented a bit with some of the more useful ones.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Java's pre-installed, you'll have to install Flash.

 

[Mejilan]

What is mouse gestures? I was contemplating getting that plug in (and there are a few, apparently) but couldn't find a decent explanation of what it actually did.

 

[Fallopian Tube]

You don't have to do the said work with Opera either, you can also check the disable email/chat button.

Back, Forward, refresh, etc all controlled by 'drawing' characters or symbols on the screen with your mouse.

 

[Mejilan]

OMG awesome.

Getting it now.

 

[DarienA]

All In One Gestures is what sold me on firefox... that combined with multiple tabs makes browsing a friggin breeze.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Wait, wait, there's a check button now? Make up your mind Fallopian Tube. Actually, it doesn't matter, I *still* don't have to do that with Firefox.
