the word "experimenteel" puts me off.
Will it work fine with FF3 beta 5?

The word "beta" puts me off as well

Fasterfox doesn't work with FF3 yet but there are some plugins to make all the old addons compatible if I'm right.

FF ftw

I love it, plus the add ons! I have stumble upon and fox marks - you bookmark your pages and then it saves them and you can upload your bookmarks from whereever you are

Firefox all the way. Also, like piperbunny said, there are some useful add-ons there.

ok ok..
it's well good as my standard browser.
i cant change my vote to FF.
Also, jasper - it's beta but I have had no problems with it.

Firefox for me, heck, I was using it way back when it was called Phoenix.

I just found out something new about FF, you can double click the tab bar for a new tab

Nice.

There's plenty that can be said for the improvements made to IE 6, but I still dont see it matching up to FireFox.

It's just a superior browser, need I say more?

Better still, press Ctrl+T and that opens up a new tab aswell.
And to save moving the mouse all the time (if you're lazy like me) hold down Ctrl+1/2/3/4/5 etc to shoot straight to that tab.

Yes, I realise I have WAY too much time on my hands...

Oooh, I knew about cntr+t but not with the numbers Thanks.

I had no idea Safari was available for Wintel machines until I followed that link: downloading it now...

Please do not download Safari for windows. It is not even as half as great as the Apple version so Firefox beats it Also the font smotthing on the windows version is aweful as stated.

I was actually quite impressed with the font smoothing: the sites look positively better. Functionality was a nightmare, however, I had problems scrolling using my scroll button (having to use the silly on-screen scrollbar instead) and with posting on this forum.

Ah they must have changed the font smoothing abit sinse i last used it then. Right now Safari is in beta and doesnt work properly

Use Opera if you don't want an epileptic attack while scrolling down a page in any other browser.

Opera's the one used on Nintendo Wiis, isn't it?

Yes it is, that why I didnt put it here..

BUt i have a wii and like opera.. but this is more like PC's

I wouldn't install Safari on Windows until they properly fix their carpet bomb flaw.
