Your browser reflects your personality

I often comment on a person based on his browser. Whether you believe it or not, your choice of the browser often reflects your personality.

Internet Explorer 5.0:
You only use your computer to chat and write emails and blogs. You stubbornly refuse to upgrade your old Win98, because you don't need many features and think Win98 is working very well. At the same time, you may not use any anti-virus software. You just ask your son, nephew, or friends to clean up the virus every month.

Internet Explorer 6.0:
You probably don't know what a browser is and think that IE is the Internet. You do not have a clear concept of technology, and you are generally afraid of computers. Similarly, you only use your computer to chat and write emails and blogs. Maybe your friends have repeatedly mentioned "fired Fox" to you, but you have never understood what it is and are not prepared to spend time on it.

Internet Explorer 7.0:
You think that you are at the forefront of technology and that Microsoft is the greatest company on earth. The evil "lenoux" operating system (which sounds like Linux) was compiled by terrorists. You have posted Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) a poster on the bedroom wall and want to become the second Bill Gates in the future. When you think of Vista, you will be trembling and restless.

Firefox 1.x:
You are cute and silly and proud of Firefox. You are a strong supporter of the open source movement, and you think Chad Matthew stoman is the "Real Man ". You don't actually care if Firefox is safer and faster than IE-you will always use Firefox even if it is 10 times less efficient than IE. You're just happy that you get a free, open-source browser with a huge technical support community. At any time, you will install at least seven essential extensions.

Firefox 2.0 Beta:
You are a programmer during the day and become an open-source software developer at night. Otherwise, you are a crazy Firefox fan. You are keen to report every bug you encounter. You may have released patches for at least one open source project. You do not want to run beta software on your computer. After all, discovering new bugs and modifying the latest software is fun for you.

Mozilla:
From the very beginning, you were using Mozilla. You think Firefox is too popular to use the earlier version of Netscape than Firefox. You don't think the Mozilla Suite is a burden-in fact, you prefer a browser that integrates the mail client, IRC chat client, and Web Editor. You don't understand why some people prefer to select a browser with few features rather than Mozilla. In other ways, you are more like a Firefox user-you like open source, you like your browser extensions, and so on-you may say that Firefox users taste very similar to you. In short, you are using an admirable, powerful, Gecko kernel browser, while many are still struggling with their IE browser.

Opera:
You don't care about the Firefox stream. All you need is a World's Best Browser-for you, it is opera, and you may have bought it as early as the opera charges. If there is a Firefox fan commenting on your browser, you will open an acid2 test and refute it. You know what you need (a fast and standard browser) And you know how to get it. You are not interested in the browser war, although you have a little hope that Firefox will win, because if so, fewer web page developers will create pages that are only compatible with IE.

Netscape 8.x:
You are an old-qualified Internet user who just got a new computer. Although you do not know much about the Internet, you clearly remember that you need Netscape to use it. You don't understand what IE is talking about and what fire is, and you don't know what relationship Oprah, a talk show host, sounds like opera, and the Internet has, all you know is to open the big "N" and turn it into "online ". You think Steven's speech on the Internet makes sense.

Netscape 7 and earlier versions:
See IE 5.0.

AOL Explorer:
One day you installed the latest aim client, and then it became your default browser. You hate it very much, but you don't know how to change it back. You don't even know how you can describe the problem to your computer experts. When you want help, you may ask, "You can put this new network, er, back to the old network?" They just stare at you and pretend they don't understand what you're talking about. They may not understand computers as they said.

AOL suite:
You are probably still using the AOL dial-up network. Otherwise, you will feel that you still need AOL after using the broadband network. Someone tells you that you don't need to use AOL to dial the internet, but you can't imagine what it is. This seems difficult and illegal.

Safari:
Congratulations! You are a Mac user and enjoy the benefits and good mood that the name brings to you. You like OSX and will never use Windows. Windows is too ugly and inefficient for you. You prefer the simplicity and clarity of MAC, while Safari is a browser that works for you. You will never bother looking for another browser, because you are not satisfied with what you have now, and you will not change it because of the world.

Konqueror:
You are a Linux user, and at the bottom of your heart are geeks (?). You think KDE is the best desktop environment, and therefore despise gnome. You like a browser that includes File Manager, FTP/SCP client, SMB sharing client, PDF file reader, and many other things. You like to show off the network transparency of KDE to your friends. You only need to edit an HTML file on your web server through a browser and save it, then, re-load the modified file in the browser. The vast majority of the software you use in daily use are K-headed (kmail, kontact, kdevelop, koffice, etc)

Lynx:
You must be a liar. Do you really want me to believe that you use a text browser to browse all web pages? Especially a browser that does not support JavaScript, frames, CSS, or even tables display problems? To be honest, I can believe that you have been using VI (an editor) and mutt or pine as your main mail client, but you cannot believe that you are using lynx as your main browser. If you do, you are the most persistent Geeks I have ever seen in my life. Out of your hat!

If you do not agree, leave a message to let me know. If you are unfortunately mentioned, stop using that damn browser and change to a real browser. Please also give me a brief description of the browser I missed.
Disclaimer: I don't know who made the Firefox image (the one starting with this article). Someone has used it as an avatar in the message book. I would like to extend my high respect to the author if I can find him.

Thank you for all your comments. Let's announce it. I didn't say lynx is a bad browser. In fact, I often use it in many different aspects. I just wonder if someone uses it as the main browser. If you are, pay tribute to you! You are more persistent than me.
Now I want to add some popular browsers that are missing:

Flock:
They may call you Mr. Web 2.0. Your web browser shows that you have traveled all over the world, such as Flickr, Del. icio. us, YouTube, and other websites. You think Firefox is good, but it does not allow you to write blogs, share photos, tags, bookmarks, and other functions in the pop-up room. You want to implant a chip in your head so that you can always connect to the network and use 24/7 mobile Blog. When some shortsighted people tell you that flock is only a modified version of Firefox, you will drive them away and say they cannot view things in a broader view.

Epiphany:
You are a gnome user and proud of it. You think KDE is a thing from hell, and you are keen to explain to people that KDE can only be used after several hours of modification, those who say that KDE can be used immediately are shameful scammers. You want everything to be simpler and more intuitive-that is why you chose gnome, which is also why you use epiphany. You 've tried mozzila and Firefox, but you find them really bloated, ugly, and troublesome. Your desktop is as neat and orderly as your desk.

Maxthon and avant:
You may have some doubts. Although you like IE and won't switch to other browsers, You won't worry about website rendering errors, or you won't worry that it does not support ActiveX controls as other kernel Browsers Do, but you envy those who use browsers that can achieve tab browsing and other cool features. You admit that IE is a little behind the times, and you want some more modern east and west, and do not want to give up displaying some websites. Maxhton/avant gives you two of the world's best features-the comfortable and warm ie rendering engine and the cool functionality of other browsers. When IE7 is officially released, you will switch to IE7.

Sea Monkey:
You really like simple software packages. It is unreasonable for you to separate your browser from your email client. You used to use Mozilla before, but after the release of sea monkey, you will soon change your taste. You think "sea monkey" is the coolest name ever in the browser.

W3m:
You have been a system administrator for most of your life. You rarely see the sun, because you spend most of your day around large servers. If there is no computer fan around, you will not be able to fall asleep. Even in the summer, you have to wear a warm jacket every day, because the air conditioner in the server room is so high that it is easy to catch a cold if you don't pay attention to it. Young geeks show you and try to imitate you-and you never know why.

K-meleon:
You are impatient with waiting for a long time to start the browser, and even the IE startup speed is too slow for you. This is why your browser prereads the page and then loads the page in just one thousandth of a second. The pace of your life is very fast, and there is no time to wait for the browser to start slowly. You can spend several hours setting the Windows registry to speed up the program's response, load time, and reduce the timeout time of all programs.

Dillo:
You are a low-resource-consuming person from the bottom of your heart. You like to make your programs more compact and fast. You like to run icewm or windowmaker and laugh at bloated desktop environments like KDE or gnome. You are famous for your local Linux/BSD guru.
