Firefox, Opera, IE 7, Seamonkey?

Question

Tell me:
The main differences between Firefox and Opera
The main differences between Firefox and Seamonkey
All around info on Seamonkey
And what's the best order

Primary Firefox
Secondary Opera
3rd IE 7 (don't know how to spell tercary)

Also would there be an advantage of Seamonkey over Firefox?

Firefox Version 2.0.0.2
Opera 9.10
Internet Explorer 7

I would appreciate if you told me why? Have you used Opera or Seamonkey? Why does everyone think Firefox is the best? Seamonkey is Mozilla.

Firefox is the best because Opera cames

Firefox 3 fatal "holes"
Opera 1 fatal "holes"
Internet Explorer 6 Fatal "holes"

I've had Firefox about 4months and I just got Opera today. Opera I've been using for online gaming because it seems to run faster but not load as wide a variety of pages. I didn't mention ThunderBrid because in my view it is mainly a mail client maybe I should read more into it. Great answers so far!

Answer 1

Firefox and Opera are two very good browsers,in my opinion Firefox is the best because it has much more support then Opera and all its versions are free.Opera has a free version and a version you buy.There both very secure and better then Windows browsers and have a lot more options then Windows browsers.Seamonkey is actually an Application Suite its a browser and more but if your just going to try a browser other then Windows stick with Firefox or Opera there both good.I'll list the sites in source for you and check them out for yourself.You can run any of these browsers and still have your windows browser so don't get nervous about trying any or all of them out.There is another browser that's good you did not mention that is the Mozilla Thunderbird Browser which is good too.

Answer 2

This is partly a technical debate, and partly subjective - ie driven by non-factual opinion.

Opera is a very secure browser, arguably the MOST secure. But there are some pages that it renders badly that Firefox renders correctly. Large Flash animations can be slow to render in Opera when scrolling the page up and down. So - Opera is a good, tight browser with well locked-down security, but looks a bit dull compared to Fox.

Seamonkey is a Mozilla browser, just like Firefox, but not so well maintained and supported as Firefox. It's quite good generally, and more secure than IE.

Firefox has occasional vulnerabilities discovered, but these are always patched VERY quickly by Mozilla, and workarounds published on the Mozilla web site. It also has a HUGE number of add-ons and plug-ins, the most famous of which is NoScript, which gives superb protection against scripting attacks both known and unknown, and has a customizable white list. NoScript does hamper the working of sites like eBay, but it's easy to switch off. Fox is well designed and the interface is tidy and logical, and very fast and intuitive to use.

IE is sort of OK, but Microsoft are very slow to admit security problems, and holes can go unpatched for WEEKS. That on its own is a good enough reason not to use it. The interface is badly designed, with tools and buttons placed in crazy locations. People changing from IE6 tend to hate IE7, and end up getting Firefox.

Tertiary - is that the word you were thinking of?

Answer 3

Firefox and Opera are seen the suitable with the help of many. actually no longer IE 6/7. Seamonkey is likewise solid, yet Firefox is extra effective for mainstream crowd. you could upload function to firefox with addons. It has a extensive database of addons to function very virtually any function which you will think of of. Opera already has plenty function outfitted in 'real out of the field'. I used to apply Opera, yet provided that have switched to Firefox a pair of years in the past and have not appeared back. i think Firefox is the extra advantageous browser.

Answer 4

FireFox is the best.
