What Web Browser Do You Use?

Sir Travis D · 05-06-2008, 01:35 AM

I have a laptop with dos from 1988 (hp vectra ls/12), some ibm laptop from the early 90's with 3.1, late 90's laptop with windows 95 (compaq armada something)

I don't use windows 95 unless it is about bonzi buddy. I will explain this in the off topic section, do not ask about it now.

Downloaded/Installed the Bèta 2 version of the new Opera, version 9.5 (last real version; 9.25 if I am correct). Gets me a quite nice Acid3 score of 78/100, but not that that says much because most sites are still IE calibrated... And seeing IE gets a score of 12 in Acid3 I'd be willing to discard that score anyways.

Nonetheless, it has a built in IRC-client which I use all the time (and is very easy to use as well). Also how everything is standard ergonomically placed (such as the url-bar). But ofcourse if you dislike the placing of it all you can change it, you could even put the url-bar at the bottom of the page if you want.

Also the mouse gestures (somewhat the key signature of Opera) are great seeing I open up tabs a lot, the speed dial is great as well.

Without tweaking either FF or Opera, Opera is faster, with Tweaking FF an Opera, Opera will still be a tad faster (although the difference is not much).

If you want speed dial then use FF with extensions/addons
