Looking for a powerful Web Browser

avast! is also a good freeware program. Anti-Virus, Firewall, and Data Protection all in one. It's pretty awesome. Go to avast! antivirus software - computer virus, worm and Trojan protection by ALWIL Software It's a pretty sweet deal. It'll keep ya safe from hackers aka - FBI.

Firefox is the best. Opera is also very good. IE trash.

[TcM]

Well Opera is quite slow in my opinion.

I'd suggest either firefox, opera or netscape.

Thier all a lot better than IE.

But firefox is way safer, and a lot faster. Also you can customize it to your liking.

Agreed. The only thing with Firefox is that on my PC while running XP and even Ubuntu it crashes a lot... even after several formats... It's not stable at all, but then on my laptop while running vista it runs perfectly, I can't understand why.

[chili5]

Yeah although Firefox ain't that stable at times, it does work well for awhile.

Although I have had problems with it, pages start to load slower after awhile. Like I find that if I don't erase my cache every once in a while the browser slows down. What I love above it, is that you can customize it how ever you look.

I like the adblock plus and foxytunes for my firefox. Also I find foxclock very useful It's also got quite a few addons for web developers.

I have had no problems with Firefox stability on XP Home/Pro. Perhaps you have some odd plugins?

[chili5]

Um yeah I removed most of my add ons, hopefully it will work better now.

Firefox on Linux tends to struggle with Adobe's half baked attempt at porting the flash player to Linux. There is a fix I believe but it isn't easy to apply.

[TcM]

Well neither on Linux nor on XP, at first I did not have any plugins, even after a fresh format it did crash... so seeing that it still crashed a lot then I did install some plugins, I had nothing to loose.
