    What browser do you refuse to use, be it from usability issues to site layout/standards problems.

    OK, the options were supposed to be:
    IE4
    IE5
    IE6
    NS4
    NS6
    NS7
    MOZ1
    OPERA
    OTHER

    It is what it's.

    Definetly NS4. It's a real pain in the arse.

    Maybe a mod will stick the poll in?

    Netscape. It's been a hoor of a browser since early in version four. I'm using NetCaptor at the moment and it's the tits.

    You can ask it not to :)

    Yah, Netscape 4 seriously sucks ass. UCD still have netscape 4.0 as the 'official' browser :rolleyes:. If I'm ever forced to use it, I point myself straight at mozilla.org for some downloady goodness :). Netscape 6 was an improvement and 7.0 is even better, but I prefer using mozilla now, even though they're almost the same.
    Opera is a tiny bit too unstable for me, but maybe it's just the comps I'm running it on.

    When on linux I run galeon cos it's fast :)

    IE is ok, and tends to be the only one compatible with everything, but I hate that it's so tied into the OS. One error can bring the whole system crashing down, or if one IE window crashes, it closes them all :mad: very irritating.

    IE or Mozilla 1.2.1 under Windows, sometimes Opera. Under Linux I'd run mostly Opera or Galeon.

    BTW, Mozilla 1.2.1 is my browser/email suite of choice. I hate IE for its security issues and the way some progs use it as their "own" inbuilt browser.

    Could lolth turn this into a poll please?

    It is what it's.

    I hated Netscape 6, it was really buggy, and annoying for off line testing.

    Happy with Mozilla 1.2.1 now :)

    I don't like Netscape browsers, especially the awful Netscape 6, I never could get it to work properly!

    Now I use Opera - it's fantastic, fast, although it has crashed once or twice, it renders even quite complex sites (think k10k.net) very well.

    :)

    Probably IE - just for its OS tie in properties. Also - its not actualy that fast.
    best at the mo is opera - even with its instabilities its the bee's knees

    cant transfer the posts into a poll. you should have done that when you posted first. what i will do is make it a sticky for a few days. if it is still alive and healthy, i'll extend the period of stickiness.

    NS4 is a pain. IE can be annoying if you don't tweak the settings.
    Opera is fine on both windoze and linux.
    It was so much simpler when there was only mosaic :D

    Netscape is a complete disaster, I hate it.

    I'd choose IE for it's sheer handyness. The only PC's I'd ever come in contact with are Windows machines, and IE is always there as a result...

    i must give these opera and mozilla browsers at try, using IE 6 at the moment, had NS 7 installed for a bit but there was java issues. can't get online in linux due to my winmodem not being supported pity i would probably actually use linux then.
