Best Browser for Windows?

[AngeredTree]

Yeah, I'm a total mac user of course, but I was wondering if there was a browser I could recommend to my computer illiterate PC friends in college. Thanks.

Firefox nough said

agreed. unless it's for the pc of a person you hate, in which case ie all the way

 

[takao]

jop firefox

 

[friarbayliff]

Agreed, firefox all the way. Popup blocking is supreme and you'll easily become addicted to tabbed browsing.

 

[yippy]

Firefox for sure, but anything is better than IE.

 

[~Shard~]

Netscape Navigator rocks man. Nah, I'd go with the crowd and recommend FireFox as well if he absolutely HAS to use a PC...

 

[Duff-Man]

Duff-Man says...Firefox...or Mozilla (or firefox and thunderbird) if they want to ditch that virus-spreading program Outlook as well....oh yeah!

 

[Timelessblur]

Hey Outlook is still really good and personly I like it better than Thunderbird. It just more powerful (mind you I do use that extra power it has in it so I not giving it up but IE is just weak compared to the power of firefox)

Firefox.

Fastest browser, works great with XP, very stable

Make sure you download Macromedia Flash, though.

I've tried Firefox, but it's way too slow to open. Camino opens faster for me. Also, I have 3 rows of Bookmark toolbar favorites. Camino puts them on separate lines. Firefox only has one line. Camino gets my vote.

But seeing as how we're talking about Windows, your vote doesn't count.

Another vote for Firefox. When you need to be on Windows, it makes it a bit more pleasant.

I just use Internet Explorer witht the Google Pop-Up Blocker. Works great for me.

 

[kirk26]

Firefox for Windows is the best.

 

[FuzzyBallz]

FireFox by mozilla.org, period. Or Mozilla if you need the newsgroup and email client. But FireFox is faster.

Great.....virus and spyware companies aim at IE and Outlook users. Good luck.

I really enjoyed the mouse-gestures with Opera. Maybe it wouldn't be bad if people actually registered it and got rid of the advertisement.

Why pay when you can get it as a free extension/plug-in with FireFox which doesn't force a huge ad in your face to begin with.

Firefox

Firefox hands down! It's amazing... we have a winner!

I assume you're talking about AdBlock, and I agree, use Firefox on Windows and check out AdBlock (adblock.mozdev.org), it's pretty powerful and works really well. It's a lot better than the built-in "block all images from [domain]" contextual menu item.

 

[Abstract]

Um....I don't think he's talking about the adverts, but its good to know about a PithHelmet type app for Firefox as well. Thanks.

He's talking about mouse gestures being available on Opera. It would be good, but no way I'd pay to use a browser unless it was THAT much better than any other browser out there today.

internet explorer.

internet explorer.

Yikes, you're joking right? Do you also enjoy not wearing sunscreen at the beach, driving without a seatbelt and not locking your doors when you leave your home?
