I'm trying to break away from aol. what is the best browser? hotmail, gmail, yahoo or something else - & why?

I had internet explorers but i had problems with the plug ins. I tried mozzila and firefox they got so slow it was RETARDED. So Being a mozilla fan and having my fave browser get stupid I got opera on a recommendation from a friend! the best BESTBEST thing i have ever used super fast. it has speeddial like a phone for your favorite pages. It has all kinds of widgits like a weather updater. Fish tanks etc. Such cool add on's It runs so fast it's Reality defying. I have to delete my cookies after i finish for the day but who cares it is worth it. My games load so insanely fast

Reply:Never had problems with g-mail. I got too much spam with hotmail.
Reply:Well, Hotmail, Gmail, yahoo and etc are not browsers, if that is what you mean. As far as browsers, Internet explorer is fine, but it isn't super secure. I would suggest Firefox or even Safari (apples browser - runs on windows).





As far as E-mail, whoever you use as your ISP will give you an e-mail address, you can use that with outlook. As far as free web-based e-mails, G-mail. Hotmail and Yahoo get blocked a lot and are on blacklist servers due to the spam and inability to track the e-mail to the sender.
Reply:You are looking for email service not a browser. Browsers are like internet explorer, firefox, opera.





I recommend gmail, been using for almost 3 years now. No annoying blinking ads, just text ads relevant to your email.





Oh... and you can CANCEL AOL, and still keep your email address for free! Just go to keyword cancel aol, cancel, and when it's canceled, go to aol.com, click mail and log in (you can also try it right now). Your email address changes from @aol.com to @aim.com and it's technically called "AIM Mail", but everything gets redirected from your AOL Email to your @aim.com. And they probably append some AIM or AOL text advertising on the end of your messages. Gmail %26gt; nope!





So if someone sends mail to glenn@aol.com, it will still arrive in your "AIM mail" inbox. But any mail send will have the glenn@aim.com suffix.





As for browsers, I can't live without firefox because of the Adblock plus extension. Does exactly what it says in the background. It's amazing. And free.





from the new york times: "What happens when the advertisements are wiped clean from a Web site? There is a contented feeling similar to what happens when you watch a recorded half-hour network TV show on DVD in 22 minutes, or when a blizzard hits Times Square and for a few hours, the streets are quiet and unhurried..."
