What is Your First Web Browser

[SpaceMan++]

I found many "What's your browser" questions, now this one is your First Web browser.
What is your first Web browser you've ever used in your life?
My first browser is Internet Explorer, and that time I think IE is the best.

[Cat333Pokémon]

Where is AOL? That was almost my first browser, but I've used IE4 a couple times before then.

In the order I used them:
1. Internet Explorer
2. America Online
3. Netscape Navigator (or formerly Communicator)
4. Firefox (an early version, and it wasn't my computer)
5+. I have no idea what happened beyond here.

[SpaceMan++]

Microsoft pre-installed Internet Explorer so even if you want to get Firefox, you must click on IE once.
That is Microsoft's unfair monopoly.

32 pages?
PDF?!

OK, I have nothing against the portable document format (PDF) itself. It's Adobe and their terrible Adobe Reader software that makes it bad. At least the Flash software isn't that bad compared to a lot of the terrible content (ads that tell me I won an iPod with an annoying voice) made with it.

My first browser was IE

It is Internet Explorer monopoly! That's why Internet Explorer is so popular.
I posted this poll on other forums, and it said: Internet Explorer: 5, 100%

[Cat333Pokémon]

It doesn't really matter what your first browser is, though. Just about everyone will respond "The one installed on my first computer with Internet," which will almost always be (in this order) Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape, or Safari. The only people that can first any of the others is if someone else installed that browser (parents, for instance) and it was set as the default. I would like to congratulate Microsoft, though; they truly knew how to popularize their product!

And of course he uses IE at school.

BTW, almost 90% of school computers use Internet Explorer.

And the other 10% use Safari (the Macs).

which is version 7-9
if you run linux adobe reader 7 runs fast on linux 1-2sec but it wierd on win 2+ min but the preinstalled gnome document reader is by far the Fastest which is sad.

Yeah, I remember the good ol' 28k modems. When we used dial-up a few years ago, it was even slower, though. The average speed would be anywhere from 800 B/s to 3 KB/s. And, of course, the school network has its down days where it runs about that slow.

Just tested both now and both work fine. Tell her to uninstall and re-install Safari. Or update it.

[balloon303]

America Online was my first. Second was Internet Explorer.

[Blues]

I really wish I could say it was Safari.

It turns out she wasn't properly updating Flash. They work now.
