Which browser do you recommend most to people? Why?

I recommend Avant [http://avantbrowser.com] to everyone I know. I have tried Netscape, Mozilla 1.7, Slim Broswer, Crazy Browser, and I'm downloading Firefox right now (from what I hear my mind may be changed soon ) The reason I recommend Avant is because of tabbed browsing and tons of other options. My favorite being it will automatically clear up to 7 differnt types of history (history, cookies, temps, etc) when you close it, and it doesn't clog up my taskabr it stays right there in the tray.

So what do you recommend, I'd liek to hear opinions

Firefox is GREAT!!

Get the Google plugin, and if you do webdevelopment, get the WebDeveloper Plugin, and you'll NEVER go back to IE!

I don't like IE at all, I just like Avant's manipulation of it. Whats teh google plugin for FF do?

[Gibble]

like the google toolbar for IE

[websurfer]

Basically everythign that can do comes in Avant

*FF finishes downloading*

I guess I'll find out which I like better soon

I LOVE FireFox...I tried Avant and didn't like it. Didn't like Mozilla 1.7.1 either...too much like Netscape. The bottom bar was just too cluttered. I love simplicity on my screen. Liz

I'm on FF now.... I don't really care for it, no where near enough control for me

[southernlady]

That's what the View and Tool menus are for! Liz

[Gibble]

But it's NOT based on IE like Avant

It renders pages perfectly. (Opera isn't even this good)

What do you want to control? Check out the plugins for it...they'll probably fill in any holes you are missing.

I'm using both IE6 and the 'old' Firebird.
Too lazy to upgrade to Firefox right now, but I know I will.
Firebird opens quicker on my P2 450 than my old AMD K6 500.
As time goes by, I find myself using Firebird more and more.
Probably 60-70 % of the time.
Tabbed browsing is fantastic.
I especially like doing searches with tabbs.
I can see going 99% this year .... I still need IE for Windows Update

avant fans!!

I use avant normally. On this computer and the 'family' one, IE is used. Im not sure, but im pretty sure that avant is much smaller than firefox. If IE didnt come with Windows automatically then it probably wouldnt be the most popular.

You know, i remember the days when the entire school district used Netscape. Now they all use IE.
