What's the best browser?

Internet Explorer, obviously 😎
I'm currently testing out this Crazy browser, and I have to say, it doesn't seem half bad either 😉

Mozilla is solid. It opens way faster than Internet Explorer, though it acts a bit wonky when dealing with Flash-heavy sites. I can't stand Opera because it isn't free and constantly nags you to register. One day I spent an hour downloading it just to delete it immediately.

I’m actually a big fan of Opera because it comes with a built-in pop-up blocker, plus I love how having just one single instance open for all my windows keeps things so simple.

Despite all the glitches, I guess IE is still king. People just can't let go!
I haven't really messed around with Mozilla yet. Opera is decent, but the look is just too dull for me—I need something with a little more color. 😁

I should've included more options. I've never even heard of Firefox, so I didn't bother putting it on the list. 😢

Look, it's pretty simple—the browser is called Firefox. Mozilla is the company behind it, and Firefox is the actual product. So, you call it Mozilla Firefox.

Well, you can get those exact same features with Mozilla Firefox (there, I bolded it just for Ivansa 😁)
The real kicker, though, is that there are certain things that just flat-out refuse to work in Firefox, yet they run perfectly fine in Internet Explorer. That's why I'm leaning towards Internet Explorer being the superior browser, even if I have to admit it has its fair share of security flaws. Anyway, just for the record, I'm using Firefox myself right now.

Mozilla, obviously...
I went ahead and added Netscape as an option, assuming the original poster doesn't mind.

I’m sticking with Mozilla just because of all the junk Internet Explorer tries to shove down my throat—but honestly, IE actually feels more reliable sometimes. With Mozilla, I can't even get half my pages to load properly, and let's not even talk about the speed... it's definitely not exactly breaking any land speed records.
At least it does have that pop-up blocking feature, though.

I threw Netscape in there too, assuming the OP doesn't mind.
Of course I don't mind. 👍
It totally slipped my mind. If anyone else has an idea, just throw it in. You could even add Crazy browser since someone mentioned it.

Ivansa said:Of course I don't have anything against 👍
I totally blanked on that. If anyone else has an idea, feel free to toss it in there. We could always include Crazy browser (someone mentioned it earlier).
As for Crazy browser... it's basically just a shell for Internet Explorer.
So, what do you get when you wrap a pile of crap in a fancy shell?
#14 ·
Definitely... it's a hell of a combo... running Opera Linux... honestly, it's pretty damn good.
#15 ·
It’s pretty obvious we’ve been spinning our wheels for a million years trying to explain what a "shell" actually is... most people using Internet Explorer couldn't tell you the difference between standard IE and IE with a shell if their lives depended on it.😁
There's no point in driftingnomad68 trying to educate folks like that... that's just how it goes. That's the way the world works.

Mozilla is hands down the best browser out there right now...
It’s like there isn't a single thing on the web this browser can't render perfectly...
Ever since I started working with CSS IE, I've been dealing with endless sleepless nights and even more massive headaches.. It's definitely a browser packed with way too many bugs.. then again, that's pretty much how every Microsoft product works, right?

Honestly, when you look at them side by side, Opera and Internet Explorer are basically cut from the same cloth!

If you ask me, I’m always going to be Team Netscape👍 🙏
I wouldn't let Internet Explorer touch my computer as long as I live👋 👋
