3baid: But it’s Japanese ;)

Ali: Thanks Ali and glad you gave another browser a shot. FF is really awesome, and so is Chrome, if you want speed. I never tried IE8 to be honest. So thanks for reassuring my thoughts :>

Thank you guys for the advice. i am in the web since 93 and never cared about other browsers, or you can say i discovered them when they were first launched, and at that time their features were not that good.

i downloaded FF after this chit chat in Bashar’s blog, honestly, all the problems i was facing with IE8 are solved. i was facing so many issue, one of them was the page alignment issue and now i don’t have that problem any more thanks to FF.

so i guess after all Bashar, your topic helped another person on the web :)

have a good weekend all…cheers

Looks like an IE shell application, which can only mean poor stability :/

Ali: Opera had its days I guess. As for which one is more compliant to web standards, I believe IE comes last until they release IE8 (which looks like never going to happen :P)

tone health: Ohh I C :)

How come no one is talking about opera?! i think it’s a good browser for poor people with IPO “IBM PC Owners” :p I agree with Rayboy, i faced problems displaying so many of my sites since i own a Web design Company, so i think i will wait till they improve it.

For now, i will stick with IE, never liked FF.

Rayboy: I see. I tend to hire designers for CSS, saves me from heart attacks and strokes :P

Nosayba: You totally took my words here. Firefox for all it’s goods takes long to start, and is slower on both Mac and Linux than Windows as I see. IE… Hate Oracle and why they enforce stupid IE. I hate Oracle as a whole as well :)

I never liked Safari, they say it’s fast, but it’s also one of the least secured.

tone health: You mean GreenBrowser? Interesting if yes. I’m 100% Chrome except when I’m on Mac, and these days, I am all the time :/. It feels like a different OS when you use a different browser!

This browser works great for me. I am using it 30-40% of the time. Probably increase it to 70-80% later in a month or two.

I loved how Chrome isolates each tab into its own process; a quite useful feature. It also feels very light, unlike IE. For God’s sake, when I open a new tab on IE, & since I’m used to instantly typing the URL following the Ctrl+T keys, I end up typing it in the current tab not the new tab. Guess why? Why? Because it HASN’T OPENED YET. I hate IE. I have to use it at work though for JInitiator plug-in with Oracle Apps.

Firefox gets on my nerves by the slow start-up time when it decides to go for an update that takes 2 minutes to finish. I also faced caching issues with FF.

Safari is another story. Started out fine, but now it just keeps eating up on my RAM like a hungry elephant. Not sure why.

Also tried SeaMonkey & Konqueror.. Chrome owns them all, so far. But I think I’ll give this Green Browser a try, for a change. Sounds sophisticated.

:-)… i built up a couple of websites on pure CSS. but when i played with divs, chrome had their own way of displaying them. So for the sake of the time i had to continue on compatibility testing with IE / FF only…

Rayboy: I rarely had problems with it, we must have different tastes then :)

Their automated test didn’t do you that good afterall

Nicole: I know about Flock a long time back, but I like browsers with focus on getting work done. I agree for Social things Flock seems the best.

Rayboy: You’re happy with IE @@. I should have comments policy to mark this as inappropriate :P. How about Chrome mate?

But thanks for the Info!
