What broswer are you using?

[clevisvb]

What is the best browser out there? Why do you believe this?

[scott_R]

I'm using a mozilla nightly build from jan. 30th. It seems to be relatively stable, and a lot better than Netscape 6. Of course, some nightlys are pretty crash prone, but I've been using this for several days and it's only crashed a couple times. It's my favorite so far.

[binaryDigit]

w3m :)

because netscape, mozilla, opera, etc, etc. don't run well on 32M of RAM.

[twistah]

w3m or links (not lynx) in console

Mozilla M17 in X, though it is waaay sluggish. I've been meaning to check out Galeon (http://galeon.sourceforge.net), which is based on Mozilla's Gecko engine without the bloated XUL interface. I haven't had time, though (haven't had time for anything, infact. Heh.)

:D twistah :D

P.S -- Heh, this new UBB is pretty cute, but I liked the more simple version that was being used before better. But that's just me ;)

[[GoRN]]

konqueror!

it's great, it works almost as well as netscape but it rarely freezes

and it's fast

-out-

[Strike]

I still use Netscape (4.76). Ever since 4.74 it has worked great for me - it's really fast and stable.

[usual]

I'm pretty much using Opera fulltime now

Opera is the best browser so far in linux IMHO. I can't stand mozilla and don't understand how people can say they love it and use it daily...sure the engine is great but the app itself SUCKS. Other then opera I use netscape 4.76 still usually for java based things because opera doesn't do java yet

[Swapper]

Netscape 4.74 here, I haven't had any troubles with it yet. I did not upgrade to NS6 or Mozilla because I'm running on older hardware. On my Win box I love NS6 though.

[Lovechild]

mozilla 0.7 /w java and psm + opera

[element-x]

NS 4.76 here

though I don't like the fact the mail program doesn't allow for more than one pop3/smtp account, that's my only complaint

[*Lo*Tek*]

I use Netscape 4.76... doesn't give me any problems, so far... :)

[linuxgrrl]

Mozilla, Netscape, Opera.

Opera is the prettiest, but in my opinion, there is no really good option. None of these browsers come close to Internet Explorer 5... especially for the Mac!

:(

[toolio]

hmm... Suprised no one uses Galeon. It uses gecko (from mozilla 0.7) but the UI is in GTK. It's quick to load (compared to netscape 4.76) and renders pages better. I'm using 0.9pre3 and have experienced several crashes, but usually only when more than 3 windows are open.

Can't wait for 1.0 :D

[mstich]

In CLI, I use links.
In X I usually use Netscape 4.76, but sometimes Mozilla milestone releases.

[bdg1983]

When I really really need a graphical browser, I use Netscape but Lynx is my favorite.

[Coral Sea]

After trying Lynx, Konqueror, Opera, Netscape 6 (yech!), and the nightly Mozilla builds, I'm back to using Netscape 4.76. It has the most features and stability compared to the other browsers I've tried.

My favourite browser, though (but unfortunately not available for _nix platforms) is Bill's Internet Explorer 5.5. :cool:

[digital_spawn]

:cool: i use mozilla !!!
by i switched to galeon :D that means i still use mozilla

[ioslipstream]

I just loaded up the fancy new Opera 5 and loved it. Right up to the point it started sucking all my memory and eventually froze up.

Tried again and again with it, but still kept eventually freezing up. I would start to notice it from slight flickering in the screen, then eventually drastic slowdown, the long freezes.

undefined

Kinda upsets me, cause it had so much promise. I was in heaven at first. Lots of pretty features, kinda reminded me of IE in a way, only better (except the rendering leaves a little to be desired at times).

So, back to Konqueror.

[Lonely Cat]

Mozilla nightly, :-)

coz it works great with TrueType fonts, especially chinese GB2312 and Big5.

Waiting for Mozilla 0.8,

[ioslipstream]

Alright, using Mozilla 0.7 now, seems to be alright. Konqueror seems nice too, but it is missing some of the "pizazz" I'm used to with IE.

[manual_overide]

lynx, IE :D

[complication]

Where can I pick up galeon? I've been meaning to get it and finally have time, but don't know where to get it. Thanks.

[LinuxGuyMike]

I have been using Galeon for a couple of weeks now, like it and don't have any urge to change back to Netscape, Opera etc. You can get Galeon at the following address: http://galeon.sourceforge.net
You will also need Mozilla 0.7.

:cool:

[rdeschene]

Been using Netscape 4.76, and yesterday upgraded RealPlayer to version 8. Have to use rpm -Uvh in SuSE 7.0, YaST did not recognize that RP5 was already installed so it wouldn't upgrade per se. Have found the Netscape versions distributed with SuSE to be at least as stable as IE5 - not bleeding edge.

Used Links for text-only web browsing. Works on almost all sites in my experience. Great when you have a slow dial-up connection.

[ifred]

I've been using Konqueror mainly because I like the KDE widget set and the fact that it doubles as my main filemanager.

[X_Entity]

Opera all though th rendering does some strange things some times its on the whole fairly stable. I used to use mozilla but since my failed attempt to try netscape 6 its not been working right. I tried konqueror which if you don't use KDE takes an age to load with all the stupid kde init stuff. netscape 4.76 still get used when I need to do some banking as my bank is picky about which browsers can access it.

[trauma]

i'm really a reader type of guy and not really a fan of cool graphics and stuff like that.

so my staple browser is LYNX.

fast enough without all the gay things that complicate your life like other browsers do.

I am posting this from Mozilla 0.7. This version has many improvements and is as good as the old buggy Netscape 4.7. Yes Mozilla still has some bugs, but nothing worse than the old Netscape.

Konquerer is also a good Browser, but right now it lacks java support, so you have to end up opening Mozilla or Netscape a lot. If Konquerer did have java support it would be my first choice. I like the way it feels and looks. It is also my file manager, so I end up using it half the time anyways. :)

None, as of this moment all Linux browsers are a piece of crap. Linux browsers have a way to go none of them are perfect or at point were they're better than the windoze variant.

I tried all Linux browsers, and I mean [/b]ALL[/b]. Mozilla is kind of nice, but its Java support or lack of it, leaves much to be desired same goes for Netscape (I'm currently running Netscape 4.76 has never crashed but its very SLOW), Opera is good, but still in beta, Konqueror is alright but no fireworks, Galleon has a way to go.

Right now I settle for Netscape 4.76 Once those other browsers can do as good as their windoze counterparts I'll give them another shot in the meantime stick with the latest Netscape and I don't mean version 6.

[waffle]

I use the Browser in StarOffice5.2. Once I learned how to use the program, it was just as fast and stable as anything else.

I timed how long it took Netscape 4.76 to load cnn.com (lotsa graphics) and then how long it took SO 5.2. Couldn't measure fractions of seconds, but they both took the same amount of time....

[vhg119]

I use galeon.
Though it is annoying that i can't D/L with it, Its much faster than Mozilla.

[LinuxGuyMike]

You can download with Galeon. Galeon uses GTM (Gnome Transfer Manager). This requires wget.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

Contrary to popular belief, Konquerer has java support. All you have to do is enable it. For some reason it doesn't default to java enabled??!!

Konquerer is now my main web browser. It looks great.........especially with the forbidden "Aqua" theme that Apple doesn't want anyone to have. hehe

Here is a great site to test if your browser handles java.
www.meanone.com (http://www.meanone.com)

This is the official sight for the movie "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" Once you get to this sight, click on the big Grinch picture to bring up another window that uses java and even produces sounds. At least with Konquerer it produced sound. :-) Everything else also worked great at this sight, except for some bad links, but that's not Konquerer's fault is it?

[chimaybleue]

I'm using Netscape and kfm (for light pages) ... I'll switch to konqueror soon (as soon as SuSe 7.1 is out)
