What would you all recommend? I've been using FlashPeak SlimBrowser, but, is that not a good one to use? I'd prefer one with multiple tabs for going between sites in one window.

any gecko-based browser or opera if you really hate gecko for some reason, but opera does have some really annoying css bugs

Yeah? I haven't seen any the last few versions. It's IE with the utterly broken CSS.
Develop some webpages, and then you'll see annoying CSS bugs. Damn, how I hate IE.

I feel your pain. One of my more annoying tasks here is to test pages in older browsers.
It often comes down to: Works in IE but not anything else or works in everything except IE.
Thankfully, I don't have to write 'em, I just try and break them (I'm pretty good at breaking things).

OSX Users: just a note that the latest beta/current releases of Camino has /finally/ included the /essential/ tab-related feature, "Open Entire Bookmark Folder as Tabs"...
Would anyone know of a Galeon-1.2.x built for OSX? imho that's still the most power-user-friendly browser out there.. My own attempts at a build kept having issues.. :3

>>12 I'm guessing that with the board's code still being relatively new and not being openly published as yet, there would be little point working on anything more than a framework of an external browser right now.
Can XML/RSS feeds handle thread-structured content?
Personally, I'd like to see a message->RFC1036 one-way gateway, with proper References:, etc., handling. Heavily-centralized servers are for people who like losing money...
opera made it popular on windows platform... and googlesearch bars and such crap

I use Opera, and it is my favourite browser so far. However, I have not given Firefox a serious try yet. I like Opera's e-mail features, tabbed browsing, zoom feature, image display toggling, stylesheet toggling and switching, and mouse gestures, all of which come out-of-the-box instead of having to be hunted down and installed like Firefox. Opera's ads are now only google ads which are based on whatever website you are viewing, so they are usually for things that interest you anyway.

Firefox. Just because Opera started 'tons of shit' doesn't mean others can't do it better.

Used Firefox and Opera extensively. Opera easily won.
That doesn't mean Firefox won't beat Opera in the long run (it will), but it certainly doesn't now. Firefox does have a couple things useful for site development that Opera doesn't though.

Firefox. Extensions, adblock, about:config.
Opera is good, too, but it's not for me. A number of my friends use it, and I can see why.

The BugMeNot extension for FireFox is great if you hate registering for bulletin boards or news sites.
I refuse to register a username with a newspaper just so I can read their articles online while being given targeted ads and spam. And why does the NY Times care who I am? That stuff is just nonsense.
Using BMN to rape pay sites is pretty low, however.

Oh wow, that IS the ultimate browser ever. It's even got a ATI RADEON 9600PRO 256 DDR (TM) and PQI TURBO Series Dual Channel 512 DDR-400 Model: PQI3200-512DBH ram installed!

I use Maxthon. No problems yet and I'm just too settled with the features right from the install (and some config) to deal with finding the plug-ins for Firefox.

I have to admit that while I will stand with either the Gecko or Presto (Opera) layout engines, Mozilla Firefox is not the best of browsers on its own. Looking forward to when Maxathon fully implements support for Gecko or K-Meleon rises from the ashes.

Opera is probably the best browser I would recommend
>>42
Because nobody else seems to be trying to help get you Firefox users on the right track with internet browsers. Opera is faster and uses less RAM that FF so I think I know which one is the better choice
>>43
Opera also has a tenth of the features I expect in a modern browser. At least Firefox has a decent extension system.
But the question wasn't why you fanboy Opera, but why you bump three-year-old threads.

To spread the word about opera to you firefoxfags. You obviously dont know much about internet browsers if you would take your stupid FF with its extra features that make it less streamlined so it doesnt run as optimised as opera and it uses way more RAM

development hasent completely finished on it newfag, the project is just frozen until the two main developers can get enough funding to work on it full time
Lynx and Links are favorite browsers of mine. If you're using X11 I'd recommend GNU Icecat. It keeps up with the firefox upstream but it's more friendly for people that only tolerate free software on their machines.
