I use a bunch

Safari is default, Firefox is required for some of the SAAS stuff I do,but Stainless gets fired up first for my morning stroll - it's fast, clean, simple and very modern. I have Camino, Navigator, OmniWeb, Opera, and Google Chrome installed and have tried them all. My favourite would be Stainless, except it does hit sites where it struggles, from time to time.

Primarily Firefox 3.0 with MSIE 7 when I have to

In reply to: Poll: Which Web browser do you use? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) 

The title says it all. I use Firefox 3.0 for everything I can (IMHO, Firefox 3.5 is not yet ready for prime time), Some web sites refuse to work with anything but MSIE and for those I keep MSIE 7 on my machine. I accidentally received MSIE 8 in with a bunch of MS security updates and it really messed up my machine. I lost 3.5 days before I figured out what had happened, removed MSIE 8 and and reinstalled MSIE 7.

getting Firefox 3 instead of 3.5

I am a novice but would like to download the older firefox instead of 3.5. I have PC's and cannot get the older version? Any suggestions?
Thanks bggart

Alternative Browsers

So I wonder why no one puts the following web browsers down? Is it because they never heard of them and/or scared to try them and understand the features?
That would be my guess.

Here is what i tell you to do.
Update your MS Browser to IE8, What's it hurt.. nothing your at least getting the latest BROWSER ENGINE that RENDERS web pages better and your at least as secure as the that Browser Version. THEN DONT USE IT!

Now your thinking, Huh...
So the next step is go and Get one of this Alternative Browsers
1. THEWORLD Browser (http://www.ioage.com/twen)
2. Maxthon Browser (http://www.maxthon.com)
3. Acoo Browser (http://www.acoobrowser.com)

Why get one of these, Visit the web site and read up.
1 they are faster at browsing web pages than IE 7/8.. and the funny thing is.. They use the same web rendering Engine. My 2 browsers of choice are THEWORLD and Maxthon currently. One example which makes it better, I have a old Roboform software, it dont work right in IE8, However using THEWORLD browser it works fine! yet it still using IE8 rendering engine. At one time MAXTHON and Microsoft were working together, How do you think IE7/IE8 got TABs? My guess is because MAXTHON showed Microsoft a thing or too.

You have to READ up on the Browser to understand how it works better for you. DONT BE AFRAID to try them, They are all FREE
Also SO Far.. They do not take over your machine and can be easily uninstalled if you dont like them.

IE8

I tried it and haven't had any problems with it and I use XP home edition on my laptop. We have it on our Vista desktop computer and no problems. I do like the Foxfire and have used it alot also. IE8 is up to the individual but it doesn't seem it would cause problems with newer updated computers if that's the way you want to go. Why not use IE8 and Foxfire as a backup if IE8 acts up. Just my opinion.
