dillo is a tiny browser designed specifically, i think, to run in tiny linux distros. it's super-fast, but can't load anything properly. facebook, for example, looks like this:

Seamonkey is Firefox's lesser known sibling in the Mozilla Project.

fwiw I prefer Seamonkey. This ancient CPU needs all the RAM it can get, so Firefox is out, and with Dillo rendering pages like ^^^ that, Seamonkey gets me the best bang for my RAM.

Isn’t RAM like a meg per quarter?

For my circa 95 Compaq, an extra 256 would run me about $60. Not expensive, but more than I can spend right now what with holiday shopping and moving expenses.

Bigger spending priorities, if you will.

I have a better PC than that in my basement that you can have for nothin', HOOS. Gonna be in the SF Bay area anytime soon?

props for Konqueror. Firefox but.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

internet explorer 2

lol

2 ppl that need to think hard about what they're really doing on the internet

listen to yourself

i am posting this on seamonkey. it is weird browser.

almost like netscape or something, right?

I like Safari 3 a lot.

Oh, interesting! Firefox is the most used browser on ILX now. It was always IE. The top 10 breakdown is:
1. Firefox 47.48%
2. Internet Explorer 37.91%
3. Safari 11.41%
4. Opera 1.71%
5. Camino 0.57%
6. Mozilla 0.44%
7. Netscape 0.15%
8. AvantGo 0.08%
9. Konqueror 0.08%
10. Playstation Portable 0.06%

thanks stet

10. Playstation Portable 0.06%

i'm thinking about uninstalling firefox from my laptop.

it seems to eat even more memory than IE!?!?!?

Rumor is that Firefox 3 is gonna significantly curb the memory suck.

using IE is a one-way ticket to becoming an unwary spammer

but go ahead, go be part of a botnet run by russian criminals, who cares

Yeah, Firefox is a bastaqrd on memory and the developers are aware of it. It's not nearly as bad as it was though. I can remember having to restart it four times a day.

we should get an ilx botnet

firefox suxors. Why the fuck do you use it? I much prefer Safari.

Because it works much better than Safari for me, thank you very much.

LESSONS LEARNED: Only people who totally geek out over which browser they use bother to vote in "Which browser do you use?" polls.

People say Firefox sucks but they never say why.

2. Internet Explorer 37.91% // internet explorer 2

people who use firefox without tuning it up with plugins and shit are bonkers

that's like the whole point of the thing, is fasterfox + adblock + filterset.g

and the pimpzilla theme

^^^

1. No cookies unless I bloody well say so
2. No freaking pop-ups
3. Adblock
4. Flashblock
5. Microfirefox theme

What's good in non-safari OS X browsers, I need a second browser to keep a separate google apps session going and thought I'd try something else.

Ideas?

Firefox? Tho it's currently being a bit weird with some Flash apps but otherwise, y'know, it's Firefox.

noscript bitches

i use camino. can't remember why i stopped using regular firefox but they're like the same i guess

I use Chrome I think on our PC. Not sure though. But I like it.

Which is funny cause I fucking hate Firefox on our Apple comps. I always use Safari.

this post owned well played kingfish

Firefox is good. If you really like Safari, use Fluid to create a site-specific browser app.

Opera's quite a nice browser once you customise it to stop it looking vile.

Shiira's another Webkit-based one that I used to use a bit. Has nice download management, as I recall.
