Ok there is a big topic going around about web browsers. The facts are web browsers are made to browse the web and bring back anything you tell it to no matter whats inside. This is why so many people get viruses. The important thing to do is learn how to use your browsers internet settings. If you learn the settings for your browser they apply to all. However there are safer web browsers the best are (Firefox) which is also faster than Internet Explorer. Then there is (Opera), this is the fastest and safest browser on the web. However some sites and things you do on the web are not compatible with Opera so you would then use Internet Explorer to go to those places. In the mean time you surf everywhere else with Opera. Why is it safer, because the company strives to make it safe by blocking the things that aim to harm your pc before it happens. Also If someone goes to attack your browser they will not be doing it correctly because Opera broadcasts that it is Internet Explorer so everyone on the web thinks you are using Internet Explorer instead of opera. There are certain sites that tell you what browser you are using in order to sell you something. Now they wont even now what you have. Of course if you dont know what your attacking you will never attack it correctly. Thus Opera comes out on top agian.

It is useful setting Opera as IE, but it can be annoying on sites using javascript to detect which browser you are using, and then the entire site layout goes haywire. Then again it is more secure.

I personally like Firefox, but now that Opera is free, I might try it. And if Opera broadcasts aatseld as IE, then why do sites go haywire? Is iy because the sites assume that the IE engine is running, and display pages optimized for IE? And then Opera can't display the pages properly?

QUOTE(Rubyducky @ Oct 7 2005, 04:07 PM) Is iy because the sites assume that the IE engine is running, and display pages optimized for IE? And then Opera can't display the pages properly?
It's because IE uses a different rendering engine from Opera: Opera is a standards-compliant browser, IE isn't. A lot of sites uses CSS hacks to get things to work in IE and if Opera identifies itself as IE, it gets fed these hacks which aren't compatible with its rendering engine and result in incorrect display. You can, of course, set Opera to identify as Opera or Firefox rather than IE.

but you can't get viruses from browsing the net. What you can get is spyware which isn't really a virus and you only get that if you download something. You still no matter what have to click ok to everything, so if you pay attention you won't accidently install a virus.round

Of course if you click on something you will get the virus still. The only thing opera does with its security is blocks spyware and viruses coming in from the pop-ups, banner ads, and cookies. Operas security works to block all of this. So does Firefox I love firefox too. Firefox does all the same except telling everyone its Internet Explorer. Also Firefox is more compatible with websites the only one Ive had problems with is (pogo.com). Yet Opera still stands safer and has been selected as the safest in 2004-2005. Like I said just keep Internet Exporer handy for those sites you cant access.

I mean, if you use common sense, your ok. MS idiot proofed IE, so if you use wise judgement you wont be attacked.

To me, both Opera and Firefox tie for first. They're safe to use, and they also protect you from viruses, and spyware. But some of their main uses is their pop-up blocker, which comes with it and does a great job with it. What I like about it, though, is that it's safe to check your bank acounts, email, or anything with them. With IE, there's a change that someone might get your password or something. Also, with EI, you can get alot of spam mail. Which is a killer with hotmail and yahoo accounts, especially with their free mails. I'll have to agree with others on that Opera is the best, but Firefox comes in real close. It just depends on the person and their likes about a browsers.

Since Opera is now free, it may gain some share in the browser industry, and maybe take away some of IE's with it...

Love do not have a proper definition (I can hear voices... we know this already.  ). Never Mind. I have to tell that again. You will never know why you are in love with something/ somebody, but you still love them. And the best thing in love is that you always see the positive side of it and defend your love against yourself that tells whats happening is wrong/ mistake. Your evil side will always refuse to agree to what is right and that definitely tells you are in Love. A typical example. How many times this Firefox crashes? - 100s of times a month which is very high by any means... and deserves "The Software that crashes the most", but still i refuse to stop using/ loving it. I am in Love with Firefox. I will not say firefox is the best software ever, but like in Love, i compromise with the goodness of Firefox. So... Here is the verdict. Firefox rocks. And when it comes to mobile devices... Opera has the market.. no denying in that sector. And also there are lots of users who are dependent on IE. And there is no denying that IE7 is catching up and its cool.

I say ff is the unsecored one because it's the most eassly hacked one IE is mostly used becasue it is packaged with Windows  If it wasn't for Windows, IE would be a begger  , Oprea is said to be secure and fast but I'm not that sure since everything loaded on the same speed for me Only thing I liked about Oprea was the speed-dial, that was awesome  Firefox is still my first choice though because I got used to it
