Firefox or Opera. (I'd personally go with Firefox: free and many more plug-ins and extensions like an adblocker)

Yep firefox here too, or just plain old mozilla. Depends what you want, but firefox is smaller but suposely faster then normal mozilla. (though I never noticed a difference - they're both 100 times faster then IE though)

firefox it is.

Thanks again!

Don’t just download one browser! I beg you to try Opera as well.

Who needs a browser when you got telnet?

because telnet will only give you the raw code. who wants to read that? use lynx instead.

Ahh, which explains why I was having such a hard time finding somewhere to download "foxfire" from. Thanks y'all.

I forgot about lynx I'll have to install that on my server to play around with it. Might as well make my site friendly to text based browsers, since I'm sure it ain't right now.

Well, if you have Opera, you can similate Text Browsing with it.

Old Skool!

Lynx is fun to play with, but I find it harder to use than its rich-GUI sisters. I think it still can’t handle XHTML served as XHTML, but I must admit that doesn’t matter much when surfing.

The Maxthron browser is ok, but it's engine is based on IE, which means you still inherit IE's vulnerabilities, like spyware.

I think you can use Gecko now, but support is incomplete. I have yet to try it personally.

What would be a cool feature for any browser to have is the ability to edit the source code, and that it actually changes it on the "site". Would be good to test scripts and such for security holes. I heard opera has this but I tried it and it did not work when I hit refresh.

You must hit “Refresh display” in the View menu after modifying and saving the source.

Oh I see, found it. Now only if mozilla had this. Since the more I use opera the more I realize I like mozilla better, it's a cleaner interface I find.

The Web Developer Extension has HTML editing ability on a to-do list. I guess the DOM Inspector is the closest thing right now.

Nice to know, since it is a very good way to test security of a website. Or to exploit it.

i'm really not liking firefox in linux. they decided to not support non xft versions which sucks since i can't get the installer to work nor the non-installer program to run. nor is upgrading the xft, fontconfig packages an option since it breaks my fonts and it took a fair amount of fixing to fix. on top of that running firefox in root (to install extensions globally, i don't run as root so don't go hissy hissy over that) keeps going to whatuseek.com when using the firefox %u command even though my homepage is set to a different url. don't know where firefox is getting that frickin' page from. works good as a regular user though, but that's annoying when i have to run it as root to install extensions globally. i still say stick with mozilla or konqueror in linux. (yes, i still think opera in linux sucks ).

I talked to someone who has it and says the spyware problem is fixed.
