Good news! You can f inally open the 400 tabs in Firefox like you always wanted! Starting yesterday 64-bit builds of Firefox are available for Windows. A little while back Mozilla had started producing 64-bit builds for Mac OSX as well. 64-bit builds of Firefox for Linux have been available for quite a while now, and if you are running a 64-bit version of any Linux distro in all likelihood you are already running a 64-bit build of Firefox.

There isn't a 64-bit version of Flash for Windows yet is there, so Flash wouldn't work on a 64-bit Windows browser would it?

There is now, 64bit Flash 10.1 which works in 64bit browsers like IE9 Beta x64

Summary of the browsers in my opinion:

Safari is stupid if you don't have a Mac..

Chrome is far to simple, and then Google added features and it got all messed up and confusing, Still a fast browser perfect for a quick "google."

IE is a must because some stupid sites require it to work properly, otherwise rubbish (except the 9, which seems ok).

FF has a good train of though, open source and very customizable. The only problem is Opera. If I wanted all of Opera's features in FF, FF would - even on a fast computer - take ages to open.. Which kind of ruins the experience. In between the time you clicked on the FF icon and got up Google, you could open Chrome, search and know what you need to know.

That is why I prefer Opera. Some people ask "What kind of food would you eat if that was the only food you could eat?" I ask "What program would you choose if you could only install one" and Opera would be my answer: it is not only a browser, and a fast one at that, but it functions as a server, irc client, torrent client, has widgets and extensions, notes, incognito mode, tab stacking, speed dial, mouse and voice gestures, full synchronization (bookmarks, history, etc) and a lot more by default. No other browser, or program, that I know of does so much by default.
Another up is that it works perfectly on Windows, linux and Apple, it has a wonderful mobile browser and is partly open source.

Every browser has it strengths and weaknesses, but I feel that Opera has the biggest amount of pros over cons.

For some of ya probably Opera satisfies the needs, but still,
i vote for Minefild (Firefox project), which of course updates itself every day but it works great, and most of the firefox addons works with it too (obviously some of them not thanks to the daily update)
i would say it is really fast loading any pages, i can only suggest it

Anyone else have horribly blurry fonts with the latest IE9 RC?

http://i.imgur.com/Dms2S.jpg - you can see here how it appears to me: FF (right) and IE9 (left)

I have cleartype turned off in Windows and have tried disabling GPU acceleration in IE. It looks the same in compatibility view too.

Still have the blurry fonts in IE9. Cleartype/GPU acceleration on or off makes no difference. It's not that annoying as I don't use IE9 as my browser but still....

edit: In Firefox 4 you can disable D2D using gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled=false in about:config. Makes everything look nice again.

What OS is that? Works fine for me on Windows but not Linux. This extension should be able to help though:

MacBook Pro uses Mac OS X,

Thanks for the link, the extension works on most pages.

Its weird that this feature isn't included in Chrome for Mac.

The fonts in FF4 seem smaller somehow, or harder to read at least. Anyone else got this?

trying IE9 now, am i getting old or did microsoft really get it right this time?!

looks impressive, fast and smoother than chrome at playing videos

i miss the old days where the only logical option was IE or FF, now things are getting messy and needs a lot of reading and expermenting to settle down onto a browser.

Options -> advanced -> uncheck "use hardware accelaration" (or something like that) and restart firefox.
