What is your default web browser?

[SGC]

I use Konqueror, What about you?

[Curlydave]

Internet Explorer.

(just kidding!) -Firefox

[gil-galad]

I am suprised epiphany isn't on the list. I believe more people on the forums use it than opera.

I use firefox myself.

[mrtaber]

Epiphany is my first choice; after that, Firefox.

[SGC]

I didn't know that epiphany is so popular.

[poofyhairguy]

Epiphany is great for older machines, things when you need lots of tabs. I use it sometimes because it uses WAY less resources than Firefox. I love the way Firefox looks and behaves but when you start leaning on it (say 10+ tabs with nested tables) life starts to slow down. Also I sometimes use IE in Ubuntu because it is harmless (it too renders pages faster than Firefox) and its like driving a bumper car. Yet, my all time favorite program (or as I call it "the reason to have a Pentium 4") is Firefox.

[qalimas]

Opera ;) I'm in love with it :D

[Monchy]

Good ol' Konqueror.

[skoal]

I voted Firefox - the obvious choice. However, I only see 3 real alternatives up there in the options. What's up with that??? I gotta have more browser alternatives on Linux. I need more cowbells. I got a fever, and the prescription is more cowbells.

in my case, firefox to ubuntu linux and internet explorer to win XP(in korea nothing to do without IE it's so sad)

Firefox

[jannol]

Opera :-\" is my first choice and have been for many years, in both win and *nix.
It simply works as I want it to , although I have nothing against Firefox :grin: (great extension resources) or Epiphany :razz: , they are great, I also have IE [-X ](*,) :evil: installed with wine as fake win since I sometimes build webpages and need to test the finished pages.

[Xian]

+1 :)

[carlc]

firefox is my default
i also like opera but no longer use it

[panickedthumb]

I only liked Opera when I had never tried a mozilla variant. It's ok, but not up-to-snuff in my opinion. And I'm still dumbfounded that it's adware, unless you pay for it. It's a browser-- there are probably hundreds of browsers that are totally free, many of which are Free (as in freedom), and have no ads. That's why I can't use it except to test out web design changes.

I love firefox, but it can get a bit bloated sometimes, so I then use Epiphany or Galeon.

EDIT: SGC, you mind if I edit your poll to include Galeon and Epiphany?

[NeoChaosX]

Firefox. Despite the RAM problems, the extensions keep me coming back.

[bored2k]

Word. Firefox over hizzay.

[SGC]

I don't mind. please do it.

[Lovechild]

Epiphany, it's HIG and it blends perfectly with my GNOME desktop - plus the translations are correct, unlike with firefox

[psychicdragon]

I use Epiphany. It does everything I need it to and definitely feels lighter than Firefox. I do kinda miss adblock, but depriving some sites of their only way of covering their expenses is not cool IMO.

[defkewl]

I use firefox both in Windows and Linux. A great browser for sure.

[ow50]

I'm surprised by the low popularity of Epiphany. It fits much better for Gnome than Firefox. Epiphany's faster, both in page loading and opening tabs. Epiphany integrates much better into Gnome: it uses Gnome's icon theme and detects Gnome default apps for different filetypes. Only thing better in Firefox is the vast selection of extensions, but most of the time I can live without them.

[paulvandenberg]

Even though I use Kubuntu, I installed Firefox. KHTML just doesn't work with enough sites for me, like Gmail. I know there is a mode in Gmail that will accept Konqueror, but changing settings in Gmail must be done in a fully supported browser. Firefox with the Plastikfox theme works well for me.

[zaxer]

Always Firefox.

[Buffalo Soldier]

Epiphany.

Reason: Better GNOME intergration & better looking fonts (at least for my computer).

[tread]

Opera .. it is such a joy to use. I managed to pretty it up even though I don't have kde, and I find it much faster to use than firefox (which is my next browser of choice). I'll give epiphany a whirl, but I doubt its gonna move me from opera .. esp. since I don't like to relearn keyboard shortcuts. And opera is so customizable!

[DirtDawg]

Konquerer is my favorite browser. But I have windoze and Gnome(Ubuntu), so Firefox it is!

[-Rick-]

Konqueror is the default browser(opens links in gaim etc) - Starts fast
Opera (favourite) for daily browsing/forums - Fast rendering/loading
FireFox for gmail and other exotic sites...

[qeek]

Firefox. Probably the best browser in the world.

[sonny]

My first choice is firefox, I even have it installed in my work's pc (wich runs windows; when I said the word Linux to my boss, he answer "I'm not gonna waste more money in software"; I guess he didn't hear the part when I said it was FREE), and now I'm trying to get my mom to use it, that way I feel she won't have so many troubles with spyware adware, and those things.... Firefox is the very best.

[BWF89]

I wouldn't trust any other browser other than Firefox.

[panickedthumb]

any browser with the mozilla engine should be as trustworthy as firefox, really. Obviously it's not going to be 100% the same, but it's all based on the same engine.

[mozgreen]

Swiftfox 32. Why is this not in the list?

[IusedTObeSOMEONEelse]

Swiftfox ):P

[karellen]

firefox in ubuntu
ie7 in xp

[fuscia]

this week, it's epiphany.

[davtaine]

Iceweasel

[Erunno]

As I already use Konqueror as a general purpose document viewer it would be to bothersome to open a seperate application for websites. In case a website doesn't run I usually switch to Opera, which is also my default browser under Windows.

[the.dark.lord]

Firefox!!!!!

[kniads]

It's nice to read back into this thread's pages, wasn't this created like 2 years ago? :p

Anyways, Firefox, or Opera on Windows.

[LookTJ]

Firefox any day.

[zenwhen]

I probably use Safari under OSX more than any other browser.

[joe.turion64x2]

Firefox here. I really liked the old Mozilla Suite (in fact I used Seamonkey for while), but since this package is no longer default in anything I have I just got accustomed to Firefox (it is Mozilla's son after all).

I liked Opera a little in Windows (much better than IE) but did not like the adds so I quit using it in favor of Mozilla.

Joe.

[Kubunteando]

I use firefox mainly. When I have troubles with some pages or dowloads I use Konqueror.
I have slso installed Opera but I have not used it much, at least yet.

[Outrunner]

Firefox, although I also like Konqueror(if on Linux) and I could live with IE(if on Windows) if I had to, as well.

Joe.
Forgot to mention about Internet Explorer 6, I installed it following the instructions of ie4linux and use it for compatibility with some sites (without the hassle of booting in Windows altogether).

[RAV TUX]

My default web browser is Epiphany.

I primarily use Opera and Firefox.

[AndyCooll]

Firefox all the way. I've even (surruptitiously) installed it on my works laptop since I much prefer it to any version of IE.

I've also tried (and liked) Epiphany, SeaMonkey and Konqueror. However ...I still prefer FF.

:cool:

[Epilonsama]

Firefox ftw

[GrueTamer]

I'd go with Swiftfox, but I can't bring myself to entirely trust it because all it is is Firefox edited for speed (something that a Firefox user can do) without releasing the source. I mean, come on, Swiftfox isn't doing anything completely revolutionary, it's possible to mess with Firefox and get what Swiftfox does, and you KNOW EXACTLY what you did, and you know it won't do anything bad. So, I go with Firefox.

Just my 2 cents :p

[raul_]

Iceweasel

[walkerk]

Firefox :)

[init1]

I use Konqueror, What about you?
You didn't include w3m, links, elinks, links2, lynks, retawq, or dillo. And don't forget wget. I actually had to use that once.

[init1]

Iceweasel
Isn't that the same as Firefox? It seems that it has replaced Firefox in the debian repositories, but the themes and the extensions are compatible.

[Rutabega]

Epiphany. ;)

[ThinkBuntu]

Usually Firefox, when heavily in GTK I use Epiphany. In KDE, I try to get the feel for Konqueror, but it never really works out well. I also enjoy Opera, and I use a combo of Firefox/Safari on my Mac. Not to mention the browser testing I do in IE6 and 7 at the office.

[Ptero-4]

I use Epiphany. It's quite lean, fast and goes along with gnome.

[-grubby]

seamonkey

[RAV TUX]

My default Web Browser as of lately is Opera 9.50 Alpha.

[bruce89]

More Opera than Epiphany, shocking.

[andrek]

Other, swiftfox-pentium4

[Skorzen]

Mozilla Firefox.

[htor]

Epiphany is my default browser 'cause it's cool and very advanced (specially his AI features).

[Iceni]

I've been opera user for a while, and just installed the new weekly build. It's great! Notably faster and no problems with flash anymore.

[IgnacioMiller]

Swiftfox!

[DirtDawg]

Epiphany is my default browser 'cause it's cool and very advanced (specially his AI features).

Epiphany is very nice. The fact the history and bookmarks open new windows is a little annoying, but there is one major annoyance that keeps me away and that is the lack of a drop-drown address bar. I prefer to navigate with this rather than bookmarks, etc. But Epiphany does not include this simple feature. Why, I ask you, WHY!?
