I am using Avant Browser simply because it is good at blocking pop ups and i like the tabbing system, keeps my task bar clean
 I dont know how people say you can make Firefox faster because doesnt it depend on the speed of the server the website is on? |

I use Opera..
It renders webpages faster, tabbed browsing etc... It also able to remember your last visited webpage in case you closed it accidentally.. That's different from History option as you will need to search for the closed pages there.. |

QUOTE(Munchie @ Apr 23 2005, 03:59 PM) doesnt it depend on the speed of the server the website is on?  Not necessarily. Different browsers have different HTML rendering engines. The better the engine -> the faster it will execute markups. Because Firefox is open source, many advanved programmers are able to contribute their code to improve Firefox or to make Firefox's engine less convoluted. In other words, Internet Explorer's is not open source, so people cannot point out bugs and such that slow down Internet Explorer.

Oh ok then.
Avant also remembers the last pages you visited and asks you if you would like to re-open them on start up. Forgot to add

I use Firefox because of tabbed browsing; open source, which branches off into many other reasons; customizable toolbars; extensions; themes; straight-and-to-the-point options; about:config; it retrieves the site's icon during browsing, not just when you bookmark the site; and there's a bunch more, but I can't be bothered to list all Firefox's 31337 features
