Ahh I see.

Functions such as...?

Primarily, the enhanced search function, and mouse gestures.

See my first post in the thread for details. ;)

Right, ok then... :)

Hmm... well, they're things that don't really matter to me personally, but if you feel you need them, that's cool. I don't mind taking the scenic route. :)

Each to their own. ;)

I'm using Firefox. Why? I am used to it, I don't miss any features and Ilike the interface and plugin system. That's it :D

I'm a Chromium user. (Chrome without integrated h.264) for a few reasons:

- It is a natural part of the operating system I use; Kubuntu.
- It is automatically being updated to the latest version.
- It is open-source.
- All my bookmarks and also the browser theme are synced between computers via my Google account.
- It has a very good functionality, while still being the easiest to use browser I have ever used.
- It is fast.

This applies to Chrome as well.

Even though it has quite a big bunch of features this statement is obviously wrong. Everything you want, is not what everyone else wants too.

I have used Opera for years, and have nothing negative to say about it. But you saying Opera is more lightweight than Chrome conflicts a bit with the statement of having everything built in. Also, speed is not overall better when comparing to Chrome. Different tests give different results, and as every browser is constantly updated the trophy owner keeps changing. To be honest I don't even care about a few milliseconds, as long as I know the browser I use is one of the leading browsers in both speed and features. :)

IE 8 for laptop (because I couldn't be arsed getting a new one)

Opera for mobile (because speed and compression make a difference when you're being charged for data usage)

Ok, I downloaded Opera now, all this talk about it got me curious :)

I have the problem that I can't make up my mind wich one I like the most... I usually use Chrome (cause of the lightweight thing and also firefox crashes more) but when I work (making webpages) I usually use Firefox beacause it have some plugins I need (I was positivly surprised that opera had the "inspect element" built in by default :P), and also I like "open recently closed tab" and som other stuff.

I only use IE to check my webpages...

Soooo, let's se if Opera can win my heart ;)


Oh, and by the way, can someone tell me more about theses "mouse gestures"?

I use Firefox for a simple reason. It's reliable.
In the end, that's all that matters.

I find both of those useless (and in the case of mouse gestures, worse than useless. Oh, I moved my mouse and closed a tab lol.)

But the good thing about firefox is if you WANT those, you can add them.

downloaded opera...
didn't like it before it was running...

the installer allows no customization(shortcuts,location,import...)
running it now...

how do i block ads?

i'll be back with more questions and such.

my current favorite thing: accel and decel on the scroll wheel.

I downloaded Opera, too, and I think I'll be using it until Firefox 4 comes out (I like new stuff :)).

Right click, "Block Content", click on the things that you want blocked.

If you don't have a mouse with lots of additional buttons, they're pretty handy.
See here for info. → Opera Gestures

The beta's out, haven't really tried it out yet; but I'm looking forward to the full release. :)

I really don't understand why people want to block ads.

Ads are there for a reason - they provide money for the people who run the site, and by doing so, makes the site (hopefully) last longer.

When I visit a site that I like, I even click the ads there now and then, to show my support for the site. I mean, it's not that hard - and as a web developer I know how much ads can mean for a website.

If I visit a site I don't like - well, then I don't visit the site, of course. No need to block ads on a site I don't like.

So... out of curiosity - why do you want to block ads?

Why do we want to block ads?! Is that a question? I know why I would block out ads.
