And chome has same similar effect too. I see happen many times because Im my job is Computer repairman and ive fixed many computers with same problems many times.

I can see how that could become a problem if someone was repeatedly downloading DVD-ISOs of Ubuntu all day

lads is there any thing like firefox adblock plus on opera ?

K-9

There is an adblocker on Opera IIRC, if you go to the Opera Extension page (they do extensions now), do a search and you'll find.

I like Opera and Chrome but always come back to Firefox. I've 60 odd extensions and rarely a bother. Install a session history type extension and you can easily restore anyway.

Apparently the status bar is replaced by an add on bar in FF 4 which is putting me off.

Well best Browsers are Opera, firefox, thunderbird, chrome and safari

pickarooney

None of the adblockers for Opera work properly unfortunately. I remember now, after a day of using Opera 11 why I stopped using it a few years back. pity, as it's a great browser otherwise. There are a few other niggly problems and no auto-pager but I'm going to give it another week and see can I cope with ads (probably not).

(Good lord less of the <b> tags please!)

3.6.15 came out nearly a week ago.

Also the RC of 4 is 'officially' up for downloading today (only in en-us though.). I've been using Iron (updated today to 10) and having no problems at all.

I'm still going to update FF to 4 to see what it's like. But if it's still a bloaty mess then I'm going to stick with Iron. I'm fickle like that.

Because every time I open the browser it's like a nervous tick for me to check for any updates.

Yeah according to this it was March 4th

Which is slowly being phased out by MS.

I'm finding it very hard to trace any new pieces of hardware (laptops or desktops) with a downgrade disk for XP.

Looks like support is going to stop in 2014. So we have until then.

Has anyone tried the Kick Ass (asteroids) extension for Opera? It alone almost makes it worth using the browser.

I used the kick ass bookmarklet in firefox and thought it was pretty fun.

What does it do?

Does anybody else use Pale Moon or is it just me?

Dravokivich

i think firefox went to hell after 1.7. the restore session thing being 1 of the biggest pain in the tits i've ever seen as a feature.

opera has too many features in it for my liking.

i just want a simple browser to browse. will check out the browsers mentioned in op to see what they are like.

It gives you a little asteroids-style ship which you can drive around the screen and shoot anything you like with, such as posts you disagree with

Tried it for a while, found it a bit quicker, but the KeyScrambler addon wasn't working with it. It's a good add on for extra security so I prefer to have it.

My brother still sleeps around with IE7. I keep telling him to go with her younger sister NOT because he should always be into younger and younger girl... but because 8 is safer, smarter, a multi-tasker. Shame she can't still cook but.

...and now he's eyeing IE9 and she's barely legal?!

Strange that an add-on wouldn't work like that, there must be bigger differences between PM and Firefox than I thought. I don't notice a huge speed difference on my main desktop computer but on my netbook it's wonderful. even with 1GB RAM Firefox was taking an age to load whereas PM is fully up and running in just a few seconds.

Could well be fixed by now but you just aren't going to get the level of updates FF throw out, especially from now on. FF are going the Chrome route of more frequent updates and higher numbers!

Yeah I know. I might switch back to FF on my desktop, especially since FF4 is out (more or less) but Pale Moon will be staying on my netbook. I don't mind Opera too much and use it on my phone but I absolutely detest Chrome.

Internet Explorer is the best browser available

I am currently using version 9 and I find it very fast and stable

I have used Firefox, Chrome and Safari in the past and was very disappointed with all of them. Of the three, Safari was, by far, the worst. I also find it very annoying that Apple tries to install it every time they send out an update for iTunes.

Do you mind explaining why you feel that way? Internet Explorer 9 is a huge improvement over the previous browsers, but it still has a long way to go standards and performance wise.

Sean Quagmire

Chrome is my go-to browser. I like its speed and clutterless display.
Safari is growing on me, again nice and clean.

I cant stand firefox. I have tried using it for weeks at a time on various laptops and pc's but It just doesn't stick with me.

Opera and Flock make up the rest of the pile

The best web browsers that I have used are Firefox, Google Chrome & Opera. IE is the most hijacked browser your more likely to get a virus plus I find it can be very slow at times.
