DEVILofDARKNESS Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I currently love Opera, it's just like KingPhilip said: I think Chrome to me now, is what Firefox was to IE when I first switched. Something new and exciting, a lot faster, and cool new features not found in the other one. (just replace Chrome with Opera ) But no matter what you choose, JUSt DON'T CHOOSE IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I dont wanna seem cocky but im just cant help it when im right: http://www.avantbrowser.com/awards.html It's so good that it's dependent on IE being installed. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 dreamwest... LoL seriously? You're seriously promoting Avant? It's a frickin' plugin, which btw, most of its features IE has long since added to their browser, making Avant practically useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrg_alpha Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I think dreamwest is pulling everyone's leg, no one can be that straight faced about making claims of a browser that holds less than 1% of the market and must be paid for being 'gods browser' lolol.

He's just trying to get a reaction from the crowd (which seems to be working). Im 100% serious! I love avant as much as i love BING......i think thats called being open minded to try new things Hmm.. I think there's a large difference between being open minded (and nothing wrong with that of course) and declaring something is the best 'Pomp and Circumstance' style (having posted a link to meaningless awards granted from sites / organizations who most people never even heard of, much less care about)). Personally, while I never tried that browser plugin, I have extreme doubts it would be better than anything else. And to have to pay for it? Who the hell in their right mind pays for stuff like that these days? As for Bing, yeah, I confess I like it.. not going to convert from Google though.. even with Yahoo's search most likely consolidated into Bing, I still don't think it's going to be enough. Google will [abbr=Krush, kill and Destroy]KKnD[/abbr] everyone in it's path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean who doesn't like that N logo with that greenish background? Or the browsing...an absoulte miracle! I don't even know why they made IE or FF when you could've just used netscpae navigator 2.0!!! Oh by the way on the FF vs IE...my answer is: Netscape navigator 2.0.

GingerRobot Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Oh and by the way .... http://download.cnet.com/windows/web-browsers/?tag=bc More downloads that firefox OH YEAH!! Ignoring the fact that firefox had more downloads last week, has a higher rating by both the users and editors of that site and that this is only one place you can download the respective programs you have conclusively proved avant is more popular than firefox.

I think that's downloads on CNET only.. the better question is how many total downloads for both from everywhere. Firefox 3 alone broke 28 million for download day 2008, and according to this link, Firefox has been downloaded over 300 million times (since inception). In either case, I'm no Firefox fanboy (I prefer the new kid on the block [chrome]). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 From Cnet: Avant is a good browser with some nice built-in features and interface-customization options' date=' but the lack of extensibility and Vista problems don't help. [b']We recommend it to users who want a Microsoft-based engine but think that Internet Explorer 7 is a pain.[/b] Who seriously wants a browser that is based off of a Microsoft engine - when they can't even properly render valid W3C markups?

.josh Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 uh...didn't FF just recently hit the 1 billion mark on downloads? http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10301013-92.html lol seriously dude, you're like 5 years behind the times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I generally use Chrome, however. I have 20 odd tabs open in chrome constantly so if I need to quickly look up something, I'll just open up Opera tabs free and do it. I also use Firefox 64bit (Minefield), however with no flash support, I find myself back in Opera for those quick youtube videos or whatever. With all these web browsers, Why touch IE and give yourself headaches? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamwest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 So there you have it, dreamwest... how do you like them apples? One word - UPGRADES ... ppl are upgrading from the previous buggy versions, there cant be 1 billion firefox users - I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Nobody said 1 billion users, but rather 1 billion downloads. Besides, you can apply the same argument against Avant. From a technical standpoint, Avant is inferior to Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari due to the underlying rendering engine the respective browsers are using.

DEVILofDARKNESS Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 You have to admit dreamwest that you will not win this discussion, FF, Chrome and Opera are just too large (and good) players, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 he will not "win" this discussion because he's trying to compare apples to oranges. FF, Chrome, etc.. are browsers. Avant is a plugin. It's like calling firebug a browser and comparing it to other browsers. Damn stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElePHPanT Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I personally prefer chrome over them all i used to be a ff user but found that chrome is hat slight bit better in that u can choose the memory that u want each tab to use quite a cool feature and looks wise i think it plays it part better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
