Simple really show us your internet browser and if you want talk about it.

Here's Mine:


As you can see its very simplistic version of Firefox I got rid of most of the menus apart from Tools which you really need as it holds all the options for Firefox.

I'm using the default Firefox theme.  For quick bookmarking I use Google Bookmarks, for everything else I use del.icio.us and the del.icio.us button.

I use the Google search box which comes with the google toolbar, I use this search bar as it's much more advanced than the default search box.

I also use the Google Autofill tool which is really usefull as I seem to fill out a lot of forms online.

I also use PageRank to check my websites.

The green ball gives me the option to log in/out of my google account.

I personally use Opera.  I find it much better than FF other thanthe fact that it is less  compatible with certain sites. Other than the PageRank thing, it has everything you've already done.

I use Safari, it's sexy, does everything firefox does, and unlike Opera, it doesn't eat bittorrent links with it's own ****ty client. ^_^

You can chose not to use the torrent Opera comes with and even if you do, you can stop it and use the torrent with another program. But I did hear Safari was a good program otherwise and I think it was recently released for PC.

To point out another good program, Konqueror is pretty decent for Linux since its an all-in-one kind of thing. Its a file browser, internet browser, and I think an organizer.

Wait... I thought half-arsed features weren't worth having at all. Waste of space etc etc. If you can't do something properly, don't bother giving us the option.

Whereas Safari does the minimalist job I want it to do. It starts up quickly, surfs the web, downloads in the same way that firefox does, bookmarks, and that's it. And it does it WELL.

The Private Browsing tool is actually pretty useful. The zoom function works properly, without breaking every ten minutes or exploding my screen. It shows the browsing history for the last few days in a menu, rather than a sidebar if you aren't using "Private Browsing". Not to mention that the Options section isn't overloaded with stuff I don't give a rat's ass about.

Not only that, but as mentioned, it's very sexy, and works on my PC ^_^
