It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Firefox.
I want to like Chrome, but a lot of websites I visit just don't work or view poorly with it. Also, the zoom functionality works a lot better with firefox. The only positive I can actually give to chrome is how fast it is, everything else firefox seems to do better. I haven't tried Opera in probably a few years, but never really liked it. IE, I occasionally still use, but for the most part Firefox only.

I wouldn't say it's my favorite really, but I mostly use IE. I also have chrome and Firefox installed, but I only use them for very specific things that IE can't seem to do.
I'm currently using Opera Next 15 and I love it!

The 12.15 was eating min. 850 MB RAM on one page and hanged up a lot.

BTW. I'm so sick of people whining about the new version of this browser. Developers stated clearly, that this is BETA, so it's missing many features on which they are currently working on.

And I'm happy they removed the mail client from browser and now is developed as a stand-alone product.

I wasn't aware of that, hopefully they make it a better email client than the built-in one was. I still prefer Thunderbird despite it not being officially developed any more but only community-supported. Wouldn't mind switching to a stand-alone Opera email client if it turns out good enough.
I normally use Firefox with Adblock Plus and Ghostery. I have just been trying Comodo Dragon which is Chrome based, but it seems lacking in features. I will look at the preferences.

I'm not using any, at the moment. I have an Outlook and Gmail account. So far, only Office's Outlook fully supports both accounts. I hope Opera will support Outlook's folders, contacts and aliases in the future.
Even if this is still in alpha, i doubt it will be fully customizable as the old Opera since it missing tons of feature. Have seen enough of these Webkit based browser They come with basic functionality and customization, everything else will come in form of extensions or addons. Although i admit Opera kinda went downhill since version 10 or 11. It was slow and heavy.

But when it come to customization and organizing, nothing come close to Opera. It's suitable for casual, professional and business minded user. User can customize everything to suit their browsing habit, no need to download tons of extension. Those were big part of Presto-based Opera. Hopefully this new one won't disappoint.
Chrome
Although Netscape Navigator is still tempting :P

I have to agree with this because presto opera has everything I want more or less whereas firefox no matter how many extensions I install it just doesn't quite give me all the features I want that I typically use in opera.

I wouldn't say 12.15 is really resource heavy well except memory hungry, ok just looking at it I'm wrong the private bytes or opera is currently 7GB and working set is 3GB. So yeah opera x64 is very memory hungry but I'm not convinced webkit will fix that...
Firefox, before I use Opera, but now that isn't more that a bad clone of Chrome, I've changed to Firefox.
Firefox all the way. It may be a little slower than Chrome, but thanks to Noscript, it's a lot safer and pop-up free.
I hate all of them. I tried them all and they all fucking suck.

The closest one to my heart was Opera but it always had problems with displaying certain pages.
I've used Opera almost exclusively since version 4 - I don't know for how many years, perhaps 12? Opera once was an incredibly efficient, innovative, powerful browser that worked great even on weak machines. However, a while ago they basically ... completely lost it. I don't know what happened up there in Norway, but suddenly the updates became more and more bug-ridden, added useless feature creep while breaking important previous functionality, and worst of it all was their attitude when asked for assistance.

Posts that I made in their support forum (and in which I merely described in which way Opera 11 wasn't working and asked for assistance) simply got deleted, a moderator told me very sternly to not do this again, without even specifying what the problem was, and she never replied to the questions I sent her. In another post, where I described how Firefox implemented a certain feature and suggested that Opera use a similar solution, the paragraph about Firefox was simply edited out of the post, without notifying me or without indicating it in the post in any way. Again, no moderator or support agent was bale to tell me why. Other users got banned for stating that they'd drop Opera if it continued to get worse, and switch to Chrome or Firefox.

I stuck to Opera for a while longer (you don't simply drop a browser that you've used for more than a decade), but finally dropped it in disgust and switched to Firefox. After adding a few plugins, my browser is now more powerful than Opera ever was, it actually _works_, and when I ask for assistance, I do _get_ assistance instead of abuse. I'm very happy I made the switch, and I'm currently my friends (who I've introduced to Opera over the years) to Firefox as well.

Opera was good while it lasted, but they've shown consistently now that they are unwilling and unable to provide the tool that I want. With "Opera Next", they now seem to have given up.

Psyringe: ...
I was actually using chrome up until recently, but then it became a crazy resource hog for whatever reason - and I have remembered my good times with Opera, it was such an awesome browser. It has never been exactly lightweight, but I thought maybe they have fixed that. So I thought 'hey, let's just try it'. Oh boy, what a mistake. Nothing works properly in Opera anymore. Now I'm on FireFox, definitely the most responsive and least resource intensive browser I have used from the modern ones.
Oh god i so don't care about the web browser, I use them indifferently (in practice firefox on one computer, explorer on the other), and I hardly notice which one it is. I can't believe people make a thing out of them.
