Firefox

I tend to use both but I like to use Firefox more because of the tabbing in firefox works better for me other than the tabbing in internet explorer.

Opera ftw! I like the look of it, easy to use, and mouse gestures and imbedded google search tool. Opera all the way.

agreed
opera looks a lot better than firefox interfacewise in my opinion

I use firefox, I heard operas better and would probably agree if I tried it but I'm too lazy to do that lol, but I do use IE for web development since it is very widely used but things wont display correctly in IE unless you do a whole lotta extra work, so I make sure it works right in Ie then it works everywhere Razz

K-Meleon is the best web browser bar-none.

It is 100% customizable, runs on the Gecko Engine, and it has all the features people love and adore about the other browsers into one.

It is quick and minimalistic though.

And it has Mouse Gestures, crap-loads of skins and themes, and you can move set up your button layout anyway you want.

Oh yeah, and you broyght a topic back from the dead jrblast

haskell, this is a topic in Featured Poll, meaning it's not gonna hurt.

K-Meleon is for Windows only, meaning it's not the best

This leaves Firefox to take somewhere around #1

Platform doesn't matter. We're talking about an application, not a bias :p.

platform most certainly does matter. If you make something available to some people and not others, it's not the best out there.

haskell · **Posted:** Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:03 pm

It is a available to everyone. Anyone can, in theory, use it.

It just hasn't been ported yet(but it will be ported).

Being multi-platform isn't even a real factor in being the best. Infact, being the best is a mere opinion of an individual or group.

Let's say, hypothetically, that I have a 100% cure for any type of cancer. It only works on North Americans, but it will be made to work for others in the near future. Jjust because it only works for North Americans now, is there any better medication that works against cancer? Since the criteria is working against cancer, than no, there isn't. Making this particular medication the "best out there" against cancer, despite only being usable by North Americans.

Clayton · **Posted:** Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:13 pm

that's the thing though, it's the only one out there, making it the best by default

Yeah, it was a crappy example.
