I'm not really understanding the benefit of an open-source browser to your average user  psyduck;

Then there are the fools that assume open source=god
Everyone knows Open Source things are the best, they're free, and people can change things to personalize it for themselves. If we didn't have open source we'd still be with IE and Safari. Soon Songbird will take over this piece of shit iTunes media player.

Songbird uses VLC to play the songs/videos so I approve and you should too Lawlz. Just as long as they release it within my lifespan.

Explain the differences between it and Fedora, which you seem to prefer.
One of the two don't suck.

The average user doesn't understand either. Hell, there really isn't much of a benefit for using an open source browser at all when there are superior, proprietary options like Opera. Except Shiira, which is greater than pretty much everything.

Also, the average person thinks Windows is the greatest thing ever... So of course, there are a few retards that think Mozilla is the greatest thing ever.

I lol'd at this entire post. Seriously.

Who would truly take GIMP over Photoshop? Who would truly take Ubuntu over Mac OS X?

Also, Songbird is the most god-awful piece of shit to ever exist. Oh god, I hate it. Well, maybe not as much as the PS1, but they're pretty close.

I went back to Safari, if there isn't a true noticeable speed difference, I don't see the point of keeping it on my hard drive.

I loved the sidebar and image scaling. Too bad Safari 3 killed the latter feature and made it slower than molasses.

Okay, Shiira's a great browser... but Firefox doesn't really "suck".

Most Mac users are Windows converts and know jack shit. Then there are the fools that assume open source=god, and have never heard of far superior open source browsers like Shiira. Just group them with retards.
Nope, that'd be you.

Because it's nowhere near as good as you make it out to be.

And I assume Solaris is better? Why? Because it's a !@!$!$%#$Nixxx system.

yeah thats pretty cool i guess

fedora uses gnome thats cool

Lawlz, if Shiira is so perfect why is it that the most recent versions are riddled with problems, such as displaying animated GIFs?  You even recommended older versions of it because you said 2.2 sucks.  If you can pick and choose which versions to support in your claims of browser superiority then the same can be said for Firefox. Firefox 3 passes the Acid 2 test.


edit: lol i made a lot of typos

There isn't much.  That's not to say there are any disadvantages, though.

Ideologically, and monetarily, I prefer open source.  Closed source is bad enough, but closed source that makes extensive use of open-source components (OS X itself, Safari, etc.) just sucks. ugly;

Oh, right.  OS X.

Still waiting on a list of sites.

Keeps everything neat and organized, and you don't need to have a window or tab opened for every single little thing you need to do.

Shiira has no problems with GIFs. The problem is people have animation turned off.

Also, I didn't use the 2.x versions of Shiira until after I got Safari 3. Overall, it's pretty sweet, but it suffers a speed drop because of the Safari beta. Had I not installed it, I know it would've been much better. And Firefox 3 doesn't exist. Shiira 1.2.2 does.

Nice try, though.

I never said all things open source are better than all things non-open. Songbird is still in beta though if it ever is released in a full version I'll download it asap. Right now it's horrible.

Photoshop > GIMP
Mac OS X or Vista ??? Linux
IE < Firefox
Safari < Shiira
AIM < Miranda IM

See? Not everything open source is better but in my opinion most open source things are better.

It's in alpha or beta phase but okay.
