Get Firefox Now!!

Http://www.GetFirefox.com

As soon as you start using it you will notice a faster and cleaner feel when browsing.

As soon as I turned my back on Internet Explorer I've never looked back. There are much better things in Firefox than IE.

Tabbed browsing.. Although Internet Explorer has started to use this aswell, Firefox's look much better and are easier to find etc.

Popup ads are blocked. It also tells you when its blocked an ad on a perticular site.

Google is built right into the top right hand corner of the Firefox window for easy searching!

There's much more stuff but Firefox is the best browser I've ever used. It's better than Explorer by leaps and bounds. I don't miss Explorer one iota. Give Firefox one day of surfing the web and you won't either.

So you've tried the other options as well have you?



You need to at very least try Opera as one of teh other players in teh market. I use it on both Windows (work) and Linux (home) and its superior to firefox IMHO

It is better & quicker in some ways to firefox & certainly windows but not all websites work on Opera

Firefox for the win!

Any specific ones you care to mention? You can always use the user agent to spoof it for that particular site. I've yet to find a site that isn't suported.

I love features like the voice tool that will read highlighted text to you. I can sit at work with a techie site open on a subject I want to brush up on, shade teh tex and click voice and it reads it out to me whilst I get on with work.

Or teh way that sites all have their own set of preferences so I can allow pop ups or images or cookies at a granular level very easily

or context menu (Right Click) that includes sensible options like search with and a selection of sites liek google, dictionary, etc

Or even a simple Go to URL option for where URLS are on web pages but not as a link,

Teh trash can to recover tabs you accidentally closed, thumbnail views of all tabs, teh list goes on


Also if your a keyboard person teh shortcuts are better configured ( Z is back instead of ALT Back Arrow.) One finger to rule teh world

Banking online doesn't work with opera.

Barclays does, Lloyds TSB does that I know of. You have tried spoofing teh user agent haven't you?

You've started typing very fast on that phone of yours!

[entwisi]

I love safari. It performs even better than Opera for me, although I have never tried it on Windows. I hear its not too brilliant there
