Any guerilla fighters left in the Browser Wars?

NOTE: I was wrong about the Safari-Mozilla connection

Who's using what?

I'm using Mozilla with some extensions installed: All-in-one Gestures for my customizable mouse gesture needs, and SmoothWheel to make things really pretty when I scroll

I've still got IE and Opera on my computer - but Mozilla has been less buggy than either (espeicially Opera) so far.

I do use IE at school and for rare occasions at home, but that's for lack of options, so I didn't bother voting for it.

Mo-zi-lla! Mo-zi-lla!

Ok, stuck with IE at work. Pesky IT standards.

I just checked Opera's About page, and it credits OpenSSL, and some other stuff, but none of the mozilla licenses (unless they don't have to use the word mozilla.

Also - was I right about the Safari using Mozilla thing? I'm pretty sure I was, and there's evidence that points to it, but the Safari developer FAQ (I think that's what I read) didn't explicitly state it. It never hurts to double check.

Also - should I have included Camino in a different category, even thought it's made by Mozilla (but Mac only)?

I've been using Opera as my main browser since 2000. I absolutely love it. It's fast, reliable, customizable and has almost never been found to have any security flaws (although on the rare occasions it has, they've been patched within three days or less). Before Opera I was a Netscape loyalist, but Netscape got to crashing more and more often and even when it didn't bring the whole system down with it, I had to reboot anyway in order to get Netscape running again.

I am using Thunderbird for e-mail though, because Opera's e-mail client absolutely sucks.

And AFAIK Opera doesn't use any Mozilla code. In fact I believe Opera has been around since before Mozilla was available seperately from Netscape.

Nope. Safari is built upon KHTML, the HTML component of the KDE desktop for Linux. It's main usage is in the Konqueror browser. It's the best in speed and W3C compliance, but worst on loading MS extensions like those used in the text editor that I'm typing this comment into. Hence, I have to load Mozilla if I want to visit ENWorld.

Mozilla uses the Gecko engine, made for use in KDE's chief Linux desktop rival, Gnome. Apple's support for KHTML (they've actually been making code contributions to the project) was widely seen as a blow to Mozilla domination of the third-party brower market. Time will tell.

Safari in OSX for me. Although I keep IE around for sites that don't work in Safari.

Thanks so much, Halivar! Sorry I screwed up, everyone.

-cybertalus, I do think that Opera was the fastest Browser I've used. I just like all of FireFox's customability. Yay Thunderbird! That was the first thing I picked up when I started moving away from microsoft and the clients my university provided.

Crazy Browser for me.
