I was unaware that IE9 cannot run on WinXP. Considering that more people use WinXP than any other OS on the market today, that seems like a very bad decision by Microsoft.

Although, I can understand why they did it. They're trying to phase out WinXP and give an extra incentive for people to upgrade to Win7.

Those crazy norwegian programmers will undoubtedly make opera the first web browser to read your mind wink

You are overestimating us. pfft

RE: Web Browsers
i use srware iron 10, its based on chromium, so its essentially a google chrome, except all privacy unfriendly features are removed.

so i have tried firefox4, i was very surprised to see dramatic speedup. actually when i did javascript benchmark firefox outperformed chromium, i was shocked. however in general usage firefox still feels just a little bit slower than chromium. too bad, because addons for chrome are not that good as for firefox, one of the reasons i guess is bit poor api in chrome.. anyway i stick to chromium. didnt try IE9, after all these years i am somehow convinced that microsoft just sucks in making web browsers. used opera long time ago, its somewhat bloated. well at least they support addons too..

RE: Web Browsers
I'm using firefox, because I've been using it all my (online) life. ^^

But It regurarly hangs for no good reasons, so I guess there are better browsers such as Chrome.

Chrome user from day 1, and it's been living up to expectations.

best browser.

Edit: well actually, a proper chromebug(firebug port) is missing, aside from that nothing to point out.

RE: Web Browsers
Bah, Firefox=Weaker Opera. Many of Chromes and Firefox's newest features have been in Opera for ages. And Opera Turbo really helps on a slow connection. You would be surprised just how much.

RE: Web Browsers
I will have to say there is a Firefox 7 is available now, and I was updating this yesterday, because I need to play browser games like Skyrama, Operation Gamma 41, Star Trek Infinite Space and a few games.

I hate IE browsers, because it is becoming slowly each time Microsoft updates it.
