which is best? Firefox, Opera or IE? other?

Answer 1

Mozilla firefox for me. I got it about 2 months ago & I like it a whole lot beter than IE. I have alot less errors & probs. It's even got ad blocks. I haven't had to put up with ads for 2 months now. Sure is nice. Just my opinion. Oh yeah & firefox runs faster too. It loads the pages alot faster than IE.

Answer 2

Because of the safety reputation of Internet Explorer, Firefox (www.mozilla.org), a free alternative Web browser, has captured a growing share of the browser market—because Firefox does not accept ActiveX controls.

You still need ActiveX controls; for instance, Windows Update requires ActiveX. You can not use Firefox to update Windows; you will have to switch to Internet Explorer. Some Web sites require ActiveX controls, too. Use Firefox for safety reasons but DO NOT delete Internet Explorer since you need ActiveX controls to download Windows Updates.

BUT you can install a plug-in, IEView, that allows you to switch to Internet Explorer when necessary (for updates or for certain Web sites).

To find IEView in Firefox, click Tools and then click Extensions. Click Get More Extensions. To use IEView, right-click the page you want to open in Internet Explorer and select View This Page in IE.

Firefox does have security concerns, but it is not part of Windows and is, therefore, safer than Internet Explorer. Since Internet Explorer is an integral part of Windows, consider only using Internet Explorer on Web sites where you have an expectation of safety.

Netscape version 8 uses the best qualities of Internet Explorer and Firefox. When Netscape determines that a site is safe, it uses the ActiveX component to access the site. Therefore, Netscape can access the Windows Update site. When Netscape encounters an unknown site, it will refuse to download ActiveX controls.

Answer 3

IE is the standard, but the most easily attachable for viruses and malware. Opera is the most basic of the three. FF is immune to most MS hacks and seems to be the most solid.

Answer 4

Opera has the most wonderful user interface and pretty fast too, anything can be controled using opera.


Firefox is the fasted browser with good user interface in the market.


Netscape is quiet better in all side.

Internet Expolrer is the worst of all browsers.
