Recomendations for a browser.. Hey guys, im running Windows 7 RTM x64 Ultimate, and as you may or may not know, with Firefox 3.5, it in some cases causes explorer to crash. Im sick and tired of it crashing so ive decided to move on to another browser, id like you to give me your opinion on a browser, and reasons why you suggest them.
Thanks

You can try Opera browser, it's very fast, light for resources and reliable browser on the market. I use Opera for years and love it!

i use google chrome.
it's fast, stable (even the beta that i've been using for a coupla weeks), simple and doesn't have extraneous bells and whistles.
there aren't that many quality browsers out there - it won't take you long to try them all, and make your own mind up. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number mickey megabyte 1234 OS ultimate 64 sp1 CPU i5 2500K 3.3@4.2GHz Motherboard MSI P67A-GD53 Memory 8 gigs GSkill Ripjaws 1600 Graphics Card amd hd6950 Sound Card creative x-fi gamer Monitor(s) Displays samsung 24" Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard saitek eclipse ii Mouse logitech g3 PSU antec 550 Case antec three hundred Cooling i'm a cooling fan Hard Drives ocz vertex 2e 60 gig, samsung f3 1tb, buffalo 2tb ext Internet Speed about 4 Mbps Other Info i love win7 |

Im currently using Chrome, but it has trouble saving the password for forums, because the page redirects before it has a chance to prompt me for password saving. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS W7 RTM Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q8400 @ 2.66GHZ Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EG45M-UD2H Memory 4GB DDR2-800 Graphics Card Gainward GTS 450 GLH 1GB Edition Sound Card Integrated 8 Channel Monitor(s) Displays AOC 23.6 Inch Widescreen LCD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard HP SK-2960 Multimedia Keyboard Mouse Logitech M350 Wireless Gaming Mouse PSU Apevia Java Power 500W Case Cooler Master HAF 922 Black Cooling Stock Intel CPU Fan Hard Drives Seagate 500GB Internal

yeah, i've noticed that for a couple of sites too.
i'm not sure if that's a chrome problem, or the web site design.
it still seems to remember them anyway the next time you visit.
one day, we may have a perfect browser! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number mickey megabyte 1234 OS ultimate 64 sp1 CPU i5 2500K 3.3@4.2GHz Motherboard MSI P67A-GD53 Memory 8 gigs GSkill Ripjaws 1600 Graphics Card amd hd6950 Sound Card creative x-fi gamer Monitor(s) Displays samsung 24" Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard saitek eclipse ii Mouse logitech g3 PSU antec 550 Case antec three hundred Cooling i'm a cooling fan Hard Drives ocz vertex 2e 60 gig, samsung f3 1tb, buffalo 2tb ext Internet Speed about 4 Mbps Other Info i love win7 |

Well personally I love having all searches available on a browser search engine, in ie 8 you can add in the right corner an add on Umiboxu search, and it will show your top three search engines and results in 3 rows, It is truelly a great add on, You might see the webpage on it, as it works fine with all toolbars and browser, ubuntu, IE 8, Yahoo, and I use Bing, hotmail, yahoo, and My Space, and facebook, and I can set it to open any 3 searches at one time. All my favs are there and in ie you can save all toolbars at a click turn one off and turn one on or even have both on with great speed. I even use the music add on foxy tunes, so I can rock while I browse. So it is worth a look. Also try Software informer, It gives you a transparent buble you can place anywhere, and no matter how many webpage you have open, you have immediate access to bring your icons to the front to open a web video downloader or dvd burner or use any other icon to load a program with webpages undisturbed in front. You all should really love that feature, I always hated to have to minimize to ge to icons or go throug all programs to find my favs,,,, now in a click im there, It also will tell you which drivers or programs have updates.

I've been using Opera 10 as my primary browser for a couple of weeks.
It's a good 'wean off firefox' browser. It's like running FF with minimal add-ons.
The others are good in their own way, but Opera's been the only one that I've used past the one week mark before going straight back to FF. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Computers by SmartEyeball OS 8 Pro x64 CPU i7 3770K 4.6GHz Motherboard ASUS P8Z77 WS Memory 16GB G.Skill Trident X 2400mhz Graphics Card 3x Gigabyte GTX 670 OC WindForce *TRI SLI* Sound Card ALC898 / 5.1 receiver/ ATH-AD900 Headphones Monitor(s) Displays x3 Dell U2410 / 58" Samsung / "40 Sony Screen Resolution 5760*1200/ 1920*1200 / 1920*1080 Keyboard Topre Realforce // Ducky Shine MX Black // Filco Ninja TKL Mouse Razer Imperator + Thermaltake Theron PSU Corsair AX1200W Case Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Cooling Noctua NH-D14 Hard Drives 2x Intel 520 240GB (RAID 0) * 2x WD Caviar Blacks 2TB (RAID 0) * 2TB WD Caviar Black Antivirus MSE Browser IE, FF Other Info GT Extreme V2 Sim Racing Cockpit + 40" LCD and K/B Mouse stand ▼
