Best Porn Web Browser

[tittenman]

I thought I would start a thread to determine which browser if any offers features which making browsing/consumption of our favourite hobby (yes porn!) a much richer or more enjoyable porn experience. I am not really concerned which browser is the better browser overall, but am sure that this has a bearing in the whole thing for sure.

I am at this stage not going to comment in too much detail, but instead start this topic and throw the floor open for you guys, to start commenting on your setups and experiences what you like/dislike etc. Please note this is NOT meant to be a browser review thread but specifically to highlight the suitability of the browser for porn.

The main browsers I am currently using are:

Firefox
My main workhorse browser at the moment use this for everything except windows update. Probably my personal favorite, due to its reliability featurs and flexibility. I currently use this with two image plugins worth mentioning ImageHost Grabber and BatchDownload, which can both greatly enhance browsing experience.

Here's a couple of short articles highlighting Firefox

Opera (desktop and mobile versions)
Excellent browser probably as if not better than Firefox, my second favourite. If only Opera had the marketing budget and media presence Firefox seems to have then there is little doubt this would probably be enjoying a much bigger market share. Use the desktop version when not using Firefox (generally excellent user experience). Use the mobile solely on my mobile device (excellent wouldnt use anything else)

Here is an article with a couple convincing articles in its favour:

Internet explorer
(don't use this much and almost not for porn, so I am going to say very little about IE, since I am not aware of any redeeming features that Firefox and Opera dont and cant have that this can apart from maybe website compatibility.


Other browsers I have come across but have not really used are

Flock
Mainly aimed at social networking,I believe has decent image handling features also.

Skyfire
Have not used this currently in beta testing, but have seen some of the faetures this offers. Can provide all the desktop experience on a mobile (which can be particularly useful for the porn connoisseur).

Two things:

1. I think you need to define what makes a browser "better for porn".

2. Where is Chrome/Safari?

It's got to be FF:thumbsup:

Thanks for mentioning those Firefox plugins, I'll try em out later. Currently I use flashgot/flashget for downloading galleries

Other than Safari, which browsers feature a "private browsing" option? That seems like one of the more ideal "porn browsing" features (in that it doesn't save any history, cookies, cache, etc of your "private browsing" session).

Also handy just for using log-in sites on strangers' computers.

That's what i am using now. The mighty Private Browsing Mode! Thank you, Steve Jobs.:2 cents::thumbsup:

Chrome's got it built in. Firefox has the capability right now through extensions, but will have the feature built into the upcoming 3.5 update (due to launch within the next month or so).

BTW Safari's "private" browsing isn't actually all that private. You can find all the sites you've visited in a cache you can get to through Terminal.

FireFox: do you know which extension? Thanks

Yeah, it's called Distrust. It puts a little eyeball in the lower right corner of the browser which you can click on and off.

Yeah, I've read them, but I've never had an issue, and if you do have trouble, there are a number of others you can easily find.

Sorry for not replying sooner

1. Better for means are there any features built in which make it more suitable for browsing porn, eg can you upload/download a whole load of images quickly and easily from some hot gallery you've found. Can I hide my browsing with some sort anonymous browsing facility (as someone has already mentioned). I think some browsers naturally are perhaps more suited to these sort of tasks your average porn guy is interested in. However these need not be hard and fast rules, what works for you may not be be to someone else's preference

2. Yes very valid point, since I am not a Apple user I completely forgot about safari and chrome also slipped my memory both I am sure very capable browsers in their own right. Maybe some of you guys use any these care to comment??

FF is the best browser followed by chrome and safari.
