redace Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 For me Mozilla Firefox is currently best for me, but wait, let see what can the Microsoft IE do if they release the IE7...... Quote Link to comment
howard_the_duck Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Whats new in Firefox 1.0.1: 1. Improved stability 2. International Domain Names are now displayed as punycode. (To show International Domain Names in Unicode, set the "network.IDN_show_punycode" preference to false.) 3. Several security fixes as follows. MFSA 2005-29 Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) homograph spoofingMFSA 2005-28 Unsafe /tmp/plugtmp directory exploitable to erase user's filesMFSA 2005-27 Plugins can be used to load privileged contentMFSA 2005-26 Cross-site scripting by dropping java script: link on tabMFSA 2005-25 Image drag and drop executable spoofingMFSA 2005-24 HTTP auth prompt tab spoofingMFSA 2005-23 Download dialog source spoofingMFSA 2005-22 Download dialog spoofing using Content-Disposition headerMFSA 2005-21 Overwrite arbitrary files downloading .lnk twiceMFSA 2005-20 XSLT can include stylesheets from arbitrary hostsMFSA 2005-19 Autocomplete data leakMFSA 2005-18 Memory overwrite in string libraryMFSA 2005-17 Install source spoofing with user:pass@hostMFSA 2005-16 Spoofing download and security dialogs with overlapping windowsMFSA 2005-15 Heap overflow possible in UTF8 to Unicode conversionMFSA 2005-14 SSL "secure site" indicator spoofingMFSA 2005-13 Window Injection Spoofing   The new Firefox autoupdate should be available around March 7th. Firefox 1.0 users who aren't experienced in handling profiles during the uninstall/reinstall process may want to wait. Autoupdate will install the 1.0.1 patch automatically and preserve all current settings, without the need to uninstall/reinstall The Autoupdate feature should already be set on, as it is the default setting for Firefox 1.0. You can check for proper settings through: TOOLS ... OPTIONS ... ADVANCED ... SOFTWARE UPDATES ... check the boxes for "Periodically Check for Updates" for Firefox and My Extensions/Themes. Another setting to check is TOOLS ... OPTIONS ... WEB FEATURES ... CHECK "allow site to install software"  If you dont want to wait for the auto-update, the updated release of Mozilla Firefox is avalible for download now from www.mozilla.org You will need to uninstall you current version 1.0 and install the new version 1.0.1 Full details on performing a clean install can be found here Quote Link to comment

SpecNyt Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 been a loyal opera user for 5 years... pero as of now pangit ang lumalabas na new versions eh.. so im still using un lumang opera 7. Quote Link to comment
macx98 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm using netscape 7.2 and opera. I like netscape for the email interface. Opera's tabbed browsing is nice as well as it's download manager but every once in a while the program freezes on me especially whe i have a lot of tabs open. Does anyone else experience this?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup, my opera does that too... even i try to update, especially happens pag marami ng elements o kaya may embedded video/sound(while viewing myspace custom pages) sa page... wala pa akong alam na remedy kung paano lusutan...

centrino Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 firefox for me!!! Question lang po sa IE.. how do you block a user's access to certain sites other than the ones that you allow without having to install a web nanny? Tsaka pano ba ma disable 'yung YM without uninstalling it? Quote Link to comment
R@v3n Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 firefox for me!!! Question lang po sa IE.. how do you block a user's access to certain sites other than the ones that you allow without having to install a web nanny? Tsaka pano ba ma disable 'yung YM without uninstalling it?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could try the Content Advisor found at Tools -> Internet Options -> Content. Also, you could modify your HOSTS file to block certain sites from being accessed. The locations for the HOSTS file are: Win9X/ME: C:\WINDOWSWin2k: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETCWinXP: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Find the file named HOSTS (no file extension) and add the site to be blocked.e.g.127.0.0.1 www.dontlikeme.com127.0.0.1 www.ihatethissite.com :headsetsmiley:  *by the way, I think this should have been posted in the Post for Help thread. :cool: Quote Link to comment
Gideon Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 IE 6 and OPERA sometimes. I still haven't tried Firefox yet. But sa Firefox na-disable ang Active X in exchange for the Security. Quote Link to comment

webspider2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Firefox is cool. Very light. Access time is relative ok. Although the drawback I see is compatibility with other sites. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Definitely FireFox is for me. Walang sangkatutak na spy and adware present since i switched. No annoying pop-ups too Quote Link to comment

general_gogol Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Is there even a question? Firefox is the best browser. There is no argument or discussion. Maybe Opera fans might argue but, seriously, Opera is not free so theres no comparison. Quote Link to comment

neraak Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Firefox is the best browser for me. Even thought sometimes I am required to use IE when downloading some files. I always find it very convenient using Firefox. :cool: Quote Link to comment
