Glad to hear your staying SH. :)

Ok.. back on topic...
Firebird fan am I :D

I like the extensions for installing extra search engines...
Google is only one of many brillant search tools that can be plugged right into my search bar... I also have dictionary.com, a thesaurus, the IMDB and Wikipedia only a click away at all times...

One feature I think is just fantastic is how i can right click on a ad banner or picture anywhere on a webpage and choose to block it forever... no matter what filetype it is... I can even block those crappy .swf ads that some adblockers don't touch.

Security is another big plus... for example: that link muchspl posted a while back to test folk's browsers... my firebird took it all in stride and just refused to load the dodgy .jpg with the funky code in it, while some folks using IE would've had to reboot or sit there repeatedly hitting alt+F4...

Half of the browser exploits on the web are aimed squarly at IE because of Mr Gates' "popularity". Thats one less thing I have to worry about when I surf dodgy warez sites.

All this and it's still just a beta version...Imagine how much Firebird will kick ass when it actually goes final.

[muchspl2]

I like myie2, its just more productive, I can high lite and drag it and it opens another window and does a google search on the word/words
plus the pop up blocker, just wish it was more secure

Your missing a lot of features of firebird.

It does have google toolbar support among a few others you left out.

That and the fact that "yourie2" is related to ie which is a major turn off..

If was not based so much on ie then I think it may be a little more appealing.

And I can do without a lot of thoose:

http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b0/deal.gif
AD Hunter-- dont need it
Quick Web Services-- no comment
Super Drag&Drop?-- Is that drag and dropped just supersized?
Skinning-- poor nowhere near firebirds themes.

I tried yourie2 and it looked more less like a homeless beat up version of Internet Explorer. An ie reject I suppose. Maybe the developers didnt put too much emphasis on looks. But performance wise its pretty lightweight and could be an "alternative" if my firebird ever starts screwing up or something.

Just my opinion though. Im sure yours may differ.

That's true. At the very least, developed extensions mean that Firebird can have Mouse Gestures as well as MyIE2.

But this part gets me

Skinning-- poor nowhere near firebirds themes.

Can you pls tell me where you get your Firebird themes from? :huh: Because the ones at the Firebird site aren't exactly much and you get even less when you can only use skins for the version you have :blink:

The themes at their theme site are not that great. I got most of my good themes from just surfing around on the net. By doing that youll find a lot more firebird themes that are not on their theme site bu on third party sites.

For instance right now Im using an icandy junior theme that I got from a link that sh posted. Thanks sh :D

But yes its very important that you "only" install themes for only the build you have and it sucks when you see that great theme and cant install it.

I just tried all of those things with Firebird. It did the lot, thanks to the extensions I&#39;ve got installed.
Check this list out if extensibility and productivity is what your after:

Just one question.
Is there a way to get a permanent tabbed interface in Firebird like the one in Opera?

Try TabBrowser Extentions/TabBar Preferences Extention from the extention site listed above by uNz[i] ;)

[riku_x]

thanks, works like a charm. :D

[h1]

TabBrowser Extension is, IMHO, the best Firebird plugin available.

Ad Hunter can be replaced with the AdBlock plugin. The same can be said for mouse gestures.

And the Mozilla Google Toolbar is much better, because all the code is JavaScript, meaning you can change images, what language Google uses, the appearance of the toolbar, make your own Google skin, etc...

MyIE2 is based on the Internet Explorer engine, which means some strictly coded pages won&#39;t appear correctly, and supports ActiveX and VBScript, which are big security holes.

And what is Privacy Protection?

[Java Boy]

MYIE2 can go to Windows Update...
Last time I checked the others couldnt get there

I dont even use the windows update site because you really dont need all thoose updates. Only some if any at all are critical updates and then I just download them directly from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads and last time I checked I was pretty competent enough to install them myself instead of having windows update site do it for me (although some may think that having microsoft do it for you is more convenient than double clicking an exe file.) http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/lamer.gif .

And your box can be enabled to check for and download updates without going to windows update site. That method pretty much sucks since it runs in the background but If you have the ram and cpu power then it will save you the trip to the update site.

Windows update site and the software they make you install to use it is something I can do without.

So a browser that gets you to windows update , plain & simple is a very viable choice
You might as well get Linux running on your computer and then you dont need to go near Windows , which is full of holes...

Did I say that? I dont think I did.

And we were talking about firebird and yourie2. Where did linux come in at?

Since you are obviously being stereotypical and we are both getting off topic Ill just say that I prefer to get my updates via manually rather than confining myself to one browser because the others cant do something as pointless as that at the moment

Btw please dont quote me after you take my statements out of context.

You left out "I". Which means "I" dont use it. You on the other hand are more than welcome to. <_<

[Java Boy]

Well keep ya preferences to ya self then..and ill quote what i like ,when i like , cause i can.. B) .And there aint jack you can do about it&#33;&#33;&#33;

Anyways
Myie2 has built in support for a lot of things. Say for example, Firebird etc,you would have to get a plugin...as it doesnt support everything straight outa the box

I&#39;ve always used IE :ghostface: :ghostface: :ghostface: :01:

[Java Boy]

I have Opera 7.23, Mozilla Firebird,Mozilla Thunderbird and MYIE2 installed on my computer(No IE6) and try them all out at different times but my personal preference is MYIE2

[h121589]

Mozilla

[shn]

I seem to have found something else distasteful in my venture with yourie2 browser.

My router has a web based admin console that I use to monitor my lan and other activity and why is it when I type it in firebird it brings it up as usual and yourie2 brings up this unacceptable redirection search page mess. I could just type in the ip address of my router&#39;s dns server and get it but where is the practicality in that? This was a newly installed version of yourie2 and it just so happens that I reinstalled firebird earlier today, profiles and al,l and started fresh and clean so both browsers were performing right out the box so to say.

Try using Windows Update with mozilla firebird(straight outa the box) and post ya results here as well...
Thats one of the "outa-the-box" issues I was talking about..Its no good just replying to one issue..We could go on all night tit-for-tat with different things the browsers can do&#092;cant do.but im not into playing kiddie games..im too old for that crap..so whatever works for each person is whatever

Results please.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

MyIE2 is a good browser but it carries over with IE&#39;s faults and gaping security holes... ;)

It would carry the holes over..Its based on the IE 6 engine so it would definitely have a few loopholes..
Ive just downloaded Avance browser..All this interest in browsers has me curious.
See how this one adds up against the list of alternatives..
Anyone else tried "Thunderbird" here?

@Shn..didnt you used to belong to that Fasttracker BT forum?havent seen you there for a while if your the same one

if you mean mozilla thunderbird (the e-mail application), I use it as my default mail client :)

I couldnt get the bloody thing to work..Its a pity cause heaps of my friends swear by it.
Must give it another go

There are a few nice themes at the Firebird Site; they look far better when installed than the illustrative thumbnail. One that stands out is called &#39;Okhotska&#39; and available for both Firebird and Thunderbird.

On the original question, i think both Firebird and Thunderbird are great. :smilie4:

No. Ive only been a member in this forum. Ive joined other forums but never stayed long.

They were not as interesting as the k-lite board :P

[Lite]

I use Firebird 0.7+ (the latest "0.8" build), its alot better than 0.7 and has a better rendering engine :D

Direct Link (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-0.8/FirebirdSetup.exe)

Theres a link if someone wants to check it out :D

And yes firebird rules - ive used many browsers and this ones the best

I can&#39;t find it &#33; Where the hell is that thing ? And is posibille to add that click sound in Firebird just like in IE ?

[h1]

@Lite:
That&#39;s a nightly "trunk" release, so watch out.

@Java Boy:
Yes, Thunderbird is the shizz.

Also, about your comment that "Firebird needs extensions," Firebird is open source, meaning that it is infinitely extensible, limited by the world&#39;s creativity. It also means that Firebird will probably never have a single bug in it ever.

@liquidacid:
Quite nice, have you tried the iCandy theme?

Hehe - I use the Smoke theme myself ;)

A good tip if you use WindowBlinds - Get the Alpha OS theme from WinCustomize and use it along with Firebird w/ Smoke. The result is a professional, clean and kick-ass looking browser :D

I&#39;ll take screenshots in a bit to show what I mean :smilie4:
