which internet browser do you use?

[learn2kneel]

I, like every other sensible being, use Firefox, although I enjoyed Safari for a long time. Some good extensions I'm using are:

FlashGot - Great downloading app. Works with third-party downloaders.

Fasterfox - Makes everything faster - and has a cool timer thing on the bottom right of the screen.

Tab X - Adds a close button to each of the browser tabs - this is a MUST HAVE extension. at least try it out, this is the way tabs should be.

at least once in life...

I just started using Firefox today. I feel like switching back to IE.

 

[the rockin edge]

great! why would you want to switch back?

 

[GibsonGirl]

Instead of making my internet run faster, it appears to make it run slower. And the coding of some sites (Interference, for instance) doesn't appear to work all that well with it. The reply box is tiny now!

 

[the rockin edge]

you speed is slower? it's much faster for most people!

there was a discussion on the reply boxs a couple pages ago

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

The reply box is tiny now!

I know.

I'm still using firefox but I am not converted. I miss the "clicking" noise from IE. I'm a freak, I know.

 

[the rockin edge]

you miss IE clicking noises?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Firefox for me!

 

[the rockin edge]

i have been adding more extentions to firefox all evening there's a ton of awesome ones out there

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

you miss IE clicking noises?

Did I not say I was a freak? The click was an affirmation.

Tab X sounds nice, but, you know you can close a tab by middle-clicking on it right? :hide:

I dont really understand how tabs are any different than just clicking different browser windows, you are still clicking on something to get to a different window.

The neat thing is that you can open links in new tabs by middle-clicking them (or ctrl+clicking them; you can also middle-click bookmarks or even the back and forward buttons to open things in new tabs).

So you can visit a forum and middle-click all the topics that interest you and have them all load in the background while you get to them one at a time. It also simplifies window management since you can resize, minimize, whatever a single window instead of all of them. It really grows on you once you get used to it.

About the textboxes: Firefox 1.5 has a new feature where you can create domain-specific style rules. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\<random string>.default\chrome\ and create a file called usercontent.css. Then you can add something like...

@-moz-document domain(forum.interference.com) {
	textarea
	{height: 20em; width: 50em;}
}

...which'll make your text boxes pretty big.

sounds awesome, any idea how to do that on a mac?

 

[typhoon]

Same deal, except you create the file in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/chrome.

 

[the rockin edge]

[Rono]

Firefox

 

[alison0313]

I use Safari. It took me along time to let go of IE, but it was worth it. I'm sure in a few years I will be ready to make the Firefox switch.

 

[MacHat]

if you know it's good then why not use it?

I have no idea hehe

I probably will at some point, but right now I'm too lazy lol.
