What Web Browser do you use?

[NinjaNumberNine]

I just wondered what is the most popular Web Browser for Ubuntu users. (This does include all the other Buntu variants too, I use Kubuntu + KDE myself. ) Anyway, since there are about 900,000 members here I guess I can get a few opinions. Sorry I have only listed the main competitors, if I forgot one post a description of it and I will add it to this post. (I can only put up to ten options in the poll)
So, good luck and happy browsing!

If you have another browser, including Google Chrome, (I forgot it in this one) please click here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1267488).

BTW, I kind of expect Firefox will win by miles, but please give Opera 10 (http://www.opera.com/) a try. I think you will be blown away.

I use Swiftweasel and Konqueror often on Linux.

I have been trying Opera on my Windows box's. I kind of like it but haven't given it much of a chance. Mainly on Windows I use Firefox.

[NinjaNumberNine]

Now I got the poll made, go back and vote if you haven't already!!
I use Opera myself, now that version 10 is out, (their site says they have gotten 10,000,000 downloads in one week) I am totally happy with it for browsing, email, IRC and so many other things. The only things I still use Firefox for are downloading big files with FireDownload plugin and for it's good "history" menu. Unfortunately, viewing your history in Opera is a three-step process... :(
Still, Opera 10 is a GREAT browser, if you haven't tried it DO. Totally worth the time, and the convenience of email and web all in one is great. =D>

I see you put a poll up but I will abstain from voting:



Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.I have a strict policy of Not voting in public polls.

[gnomeuser]

no option for Chromium = fail

I know, I was in the process of making it when you posted, but apparently the thread is posted before the poll is made. :)

[Pogeymanz]

I've been using Firefox for a long time. But I like Opera's interface and speed better than Firefox's.

Now I've been using Iron, and it is SUPER fast, which is great. Once it is finished, it'll probably be my main browser.

[NovaAesa]

Can I has Chromium plox?

[NinjaNumberNine]

As you will, but I can't change that now. What's the good of a poll if no one knows the results? Also, I don't think anyone can see WHO voted, just WHAT they voted for. I could not find who voted for what anywhere. So, sorry you don't like it, but I can't edit a poll. :|

[RabbitWho]

Swiftfox, for me it's faster than swiftweasle for some reason.

When Chrome comes out properly and officially on linux I'll probably switch, for no reason other than I love the minimal unobtrusive design.

[NinjaNumberNine]

no option for Chromium = fail
I thought Chrome was Chromium, sorry... :)

[kk0sse54]

Usually vimperator/firefox and elinks but lately I've been using uzbl and opera.

[hoppipolla]

I thought Chrome was Chromium, sorry... :)

It pretty much is but... I can't see Chrome there either!! lol

And it's by far my top browser at the moment ._.

[-grubby]

+1

I voted Opera and then... no Chrome?

[NinjaNumberNine]

I know but Chrome does not have linux support totally yet...

[NinjaNumberNine]

If there is a way to change the poll tell me. :)

No worries.

What ever happened to Kazehakase (http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/20031201.html)?

[NinjaNumberNine]

Sorry I don't speak Japanese lol...
I just put the famous ones, and apparently neglected Chrome, got quite a few protests already.

[starcannon]

Until Opera has an Ad-Block plugin with a subscription I will be with FF.

[hoppipolla]

If there is a way to change the poll tell me. :)

Yeah fair do's, I don't think there is!

And yes Chromium is firmly on Linux atm - I am running it right now and it's fantastic :)

Second choice... Firefox :)

[HappinessNow]

If there is a way to change the poll tell me. :)Perhaps you could make a new Poll and ask the staff to delete or merge this one?

I am not sure what would be the 'proper' way to make a new poll.

I would include the following:

1. Chromium
2. Iron
3. Kazehakase (http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/20031201.html)

[dragos240]

I use firefox, midori, opera, and epiphany.

[PhoHammer]

EDIT: Some of you use different browsers, apparently. If so, it is too late to change the poll, but if you post which is your favorite, I will add a vote to the following text poll results that I will update at will.

Chromium FTW!!

[tjwoosta]

GNU Icecat on my desktop, epiphany on my laptop

[Kingsley]

I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish, but Firefox is one of the best browsers of all time!

[lovinglinux]

Firefox 3.5

Maybe I will consider Chromium, when they make an extension API available. Until then, the speed is not enough to make me switch from Firefox.

Sure, but which ones would you sacrifice? Only ten options can be in a poll, and I doubt you'd get more than 5 votes for Kazehakase. I don't even know what it is.

[hessiess]

Firefox + Vimperator.

Hey, this is a follow-up of another poll I made, found here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1267398&page=1). It listed ten of the top browsers, (I forgot Chrome, somehow) and I got several complaints that theirs weren't listed. So here's the new poll, guys! :)

Why haven't you created the new poll with all the options and asked a moderator to close the other?

Arghh.. When will it stop? This is a SECONDARY poll- I repeat: S-E-C-O-N-D-A-R-Y_ P-O-L-L :)
I provided a link to the first; don't you understand that there can only be 10 options in a poll? I filled up two whole ones which would mean to merge polls would require sacrificing 10 of the browsers. Better to have two, I'd say. I mean, you already voted in my first poll! :)

I generally use Firefox. Sadly, some badly-behaved Windows applications fire up Internet Explorer regarless, but that's another story.

In that case do yourself a favour and don't look at the edited version of my post.

[CharmyBee]

Your icons don't have Seamonkey in them.

I'll stop using Seamonkey once they reach 2.0. They have a roadmap for regression up ahead, plus they're getting rid of the classic Communicator-era icons and buttons because they're not vector 32-bit enough for the public.

[NinjaNumberNine]

Not anymore you're not.

I've been a firefox evangelist and pretty much haven't used another browser since it made 1.5. LOVE IS OVER! Uzbl is the future!

Unlike the last one, I'm unable to vote on this poll as I don't use any of the firefox-based browsers.

firefox.
iceweasel.
seamonkey.
windbear.
...earthpig?

I was kidding. I don't use Firemonkey. I use the RiceMonster browser.

[Jesus_Valdez]

I use Midori as my main browser. :)

This is getting ridiculous. All three threads merged.

[RabbitWho]

Seamonkey is made by Mozilla and uses a lot of the same code as Firefox.

[Redundant Username]

Chromium. It never freezes or crashes.

[ChrT]

This is getting ridiculous. All three threads merged.

but, but...this poll doesn't have uzbl!

[doorknob60]

Another one? Suprised it's not in Recurring Discussions yet. Anyways, I use Firefox because of he massive amount of extensions, themes, etc. you can get for it, particularly Greasemonkey and Adblock (I know Opera and some other browsers offer this functionality, but it just doesn't work as well). My backup browser is Konqueror, it works well and I use KDE so it make sense.

[misfitpierce]

Firefox for sure... Gotta love gecko

[coldReactive]

I've given opera chance, but until it gets rid of that nasty cache not being able to clear manually (all of the cache, not just some) as well as removal of that annoying "Click to activate control" feature, as well as numerous other things I dislike, I'm not going back.

Firefox here, and proud of it.

[Jim!]

You should add an "other" option. I use Firefox, Opera, and Chrome.

[running_rabbit07]

Shiretoko

[levian]

firefox for me.

[mithun.kamath]

I Use Firfox and Flock. For different reasons. Firfox for Normal browsing, Flock for it inbuilt Flickr options

[YeOK]

Chromium is my current default browser, I also use Opera and Firefox for some sites.

I won't vote until my option is available.

[Chianti]

Opera 10.10 beta and testing "Unite".

[Khakilang]

I guess Mozilla win by a mile as it come with most Distro and some people like me don't bother to look at other browser. Since I upgrade my browser, now it become Shiretoko browser. It still Mozilla I guess but I think this is a beta ver. of Mozilla 3.5.

[misfitpierce]

Firefox won't just win because it's built in but because its mostly popular even to windows users and mac users because of the plugin selection. I personally use a ton of plugins and firefox still runs fast and with tons of functionality.

[megamania]

I see you put a poll up but I will abstain from voting:

I have a strict policy of Not voting in public polls.
Wow. A policy for "voting in the ubuntuforums polls". You must have a very structured and organized life. :-)

I don't even know what I'm going to wear when I put my feet out of the shower...

[t0p]

At this time, you have room in the poll for w3m. It's a terminal-based browser. Maybe no one uses it, But no one uses dillo either, and it's still in the poll...

[PatrikG]

and where's Chromium? I thought I'd never switch from Firefox, but I guess I just did...

[~sHyLoCk~]

Links mostly. When I need then firefox
