    What browsers you all use?

    Firefox seems to be growing at some fierce rate but I hope thats not the only alternative people will consider.

    I cant believe the amount of people who seem scared to try out browsers other than IE. In my quest for the perfect machine Ive tested about 8 browsers in the last week and will not be going back to IE in the near future.
    Aside from Firefox :rolleyes: which is nice I would reccommend Avant :) . The one I disliked most was called K-melion :eek: .

    I use Avant over Firefox for a couple of reasons. It has similar features to Firefox such as tabbed browsing and allowing you to see less browser and more webpage but I find it more stable than Firefox.

    Avant is based on the IE engine.

    K-meleon may be ugly etc. but it's great on low-end machines.

    Have you tried F11 in FireFox ?
    As for the stability - have you reported the problems/tried the latest version etc.

    How about a FireFox is better than IE because forum :rolleyes:

    Yes. Have you tried F11 in Avant? [true fullscreen]
    Either way, most browsers have a full screen mode like these but its in "normal" mode which most people surf and where many browsers, such as IE take up too much room or dont allow for enough customisation.

    Im sticking to Avant for the meanwhile. Just pipped FF at the post for me. It has so many options to improve my browsing aswell as lots of nice themes. Im chuffed with it. Its a secret gem. Mouse Gestures are brilliant too.

    I wonder will the next version of IE have tabbed browsing and mouse gestures. Either way I can see Firefox taking an even larger percentage of users in the near future. Im not a "microsoft basher" but I love to see them have strong competition like this in all areas.
