Recomendations for a browser..

Thanks John,


I think it may be something Opera have added in 10 - and it may be that the next VBuletin will include it by default as they do for IE and FF. the option is buried pretty deep in the site options, but it's not a major issue to set it for the sites needed*

Do you have the turbo fast loading thing on barman?

Hi Nick,
I've got it set to automatic but I don't think it's needed on reasonably fast connections, I'm on 10 Mb/s. It's a form of Pre-Fetch/Cache system, the indicator hasn't shown it being on, that I've noticed

Here we go again


Firefox because it has almost any extension you could want, becuase its configurable (anout:config, and profile location), because it works and doesn't break other browsers (like IE "auto detect settings").
\
I also like that you can backup and restore profiles at will or scheduled.

Most of all I like it because it works, and works, and works

hi ken, very well said. btw, its about:config

Weell ive stuck to opera, just for the fact i have found no problems with it and my system so far, its a big shame that i cant use FF because ive used it for years without fail, and one slip-up and im ditching it, until its fixed. hopefully 3.5.3 has this problem addressed.

I really am no one has brought this up yet.
Even though I use FireFox,
Chrome come in for a MASSIVE win.

it does, oly reason im not using that is because of its password saving technique, cant save passwords for forums, because the page is redirected right after login, and chrome prompts password save after the login is complete.

Every browser has some unique qualities and unique bugs. It really depends on what you like and dislike, so you really have to try yourself to find the best thing for yourself. There ain't many browser for Windows just a few like:

IE8
FireFox
Safari
Opera
Chrome

So just go ahead and try them out. I like and recommend IE8 because its integreted into Windows and works good. The only issue i am facing with IE 8 that its forcing me to type password (which is good for security, but i don't need it) instead of copy/paste thing.

Now i am using FireFox, but that also has some issues with SSL Certificates and won't open the sites. So I am dumping that too.

Thanks.
