Browser List

[Vanilla]

Hello, Folks :)
Even though a lot of people already have and uses alternative browsers than the default one, there is still people who uses uses the good ol' Internet Explorer. I have nothing against it, but I just think people should be properly enlightened regarding the alternatives. Some people might only have heard about Firefox, disliked it, and return to IE. They too should know, that browser alternatives aren't a sole domain of Firefox. In this list, I've included all browsers with their info (IE included).

Enough with the boring pretext - On with the list :)

I use firefox because of the many plugins but otherwise I would use chrome or opera.

[AloneBoss]

There are nice themes of Firefox.

Thank you for the list. I use Firefox. I sometimes use Chrome.

I nearly always use Opera, with a little FF and Chrome thrown in. Occasionally, I'll use Safari, NetScape, SeaMonkey, Mozilla, or even Camino. I refuse to use IE unless forced, and even then...


And the versions on the first post are all outdated...
IE: 9, 10 BETA
FF: 4.0.1, 5 should soon be in BETA
Chrome: 11.0.696.60, 12.0.742.12 BETA
Safari: 5.0.2
Opera: 11.01
For up-to-the-half-hour updates, go to http://favbrowser.com/tracker.

EDIT: Did someone change my link? It was bavbrowser, it should be favbrowser.

Hey, what about mobile browsers? I use Opera Mini a lot - in fact, I am using it right now.

[Arthur]

Let's see... The leading mobile browsers, (I'm not sure what the order is) are Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Safari Mobile, Android Mobile, and a few others. No one uses Aurora, which is basically FireFox mobile. I wonder why?

[Zach]

Probably because its so new, and the other mobile browsers are already so good.

[Vanilla]

I've been a little busy/lazy/wrecked, so it haven't had an update since 2010. Anyway, it's updated now. [2nd May]
- I might consider adding mobile browsers too, to the list. Of course, other people able to edit is also welcome to add/edit additions.

Opera 11.5 now in Alpha. With it came the release of something called Opera Next, which is similar to the previous seperate builds, but made more like the beta/dev channel of Chrome.
