what is the best web browser to use?

[Tina TV]

Firefox with Flash, Script and Ad blocker addons.

Does Firefox have an email client with it, like SeaMonkey-Suite does?..
SeaMonkey is Firefox...

I run SeaMonkey, and added TinyPersonalFirewall set to block everything to and from IE &OE... This way all the IE & OE vulnerabilities are closed...
I found the hard way that IE & OE can't be ripped out of the older Window's systems.. parts of them the system needs to function properly... Firefox and SeaMonkey are the best...

Out of the latest ones...its firefox but Internet Explorer version ( 6 ) has the least bugs...

Internet Explorer version ( 6 ) has the least bugs...

MS only reports the bugs that others report
not the ones they find
comparing bug-reports on open source and MS closed source ,is like comparing a car ( not an apple) to an Orange.

but IE 6 has the most unpatched holes
i would use Mozilla Seamonkey suite
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
or FireFox
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
and all users INSTALL
Ad BlockPlus
http://adblockplus.org/en/
and No-Script
http://noscript.net/
and for Windows users INSTALL IETab
http://ietab.mozdev.org/
you can ever run "windows update " from inside seamonkey and firefox

Firefox is the best

I use firefox and IE7, would probably stick with firefox if only running one.

Can't really go wrong with Firefox, especially when you mix in a few of the hundreds of addons.

Isn't IE7 full of intentional hacker holes like in IE6 and IE5..?

Doesn't microsoft make their IE and OE, and their W2K, XP, and Vista, with secret backdoors, so they can trash OS's all around the world at a whim..?

Isn't it best to boycott microsoft's crap.. and go for Linux systems..?
I think microsoft is evil...

Best to go with Linux and Firefox...

no , except for the random number generator ( specified by the us congress/white house) used in encryption . That dose have the possibility of a master key .
the rest is they have a defacto monopoly and the coders are on a short dead line and really don't give a fu** if there is a hole or not

I use Safari most of the time.

Have Firefox as a backup in case Safari runs into problems; but still use Safari ~ 90% of the time - find it generally runs a lot smoother than Firefox.

Also have Opera on an iMac here, but hardly ever look at that.

IE is rubbish, when compared to any of the above.

well cosmicB i suggest you install Linux with SELinux ( default for most) and run a locked down system . none are 100% but most can be setup to be 99.99999% secure. And use full disk encryption( 1024 bit ) with a second encryption key ( 2048 or 4096 bit key) for sensitive data

[micky-m8]

try using Flock1.2 which uses the same mozilla1.2 kernel as Firefox: i have found this to be the most smooth -running browser in the net, and is superior to firefox3.0

That's it!.. That's the one I'll do... THANKS!..

But I never ever put sensitive data in a PC that has a modem... The money world desperately wants to rob this bench manual to build plazma engines for flying cars.. so desperate that they'll spend millions trying to rob it, when I would have given it all free to a kind face...

i am a happy Google Chrome user.

However if you want to use a number of extensions such as PicLens, use ForeFox. It has lots of plugins.
