**Unless you have IE Tab.

Internet Explorer

l33t p0in75: -10
If you're not a Windows user, screw you, you can't use this, not that you'd want to anyway.

Pros

• Microsoft's website won't render correctly.
• Everyone uses it
• You can get lunch while it loads pages.
• Compatible with the great game BSoD!
• It isn't Opera
• It comes with Windows
• It is compatible with all the latest and greatest viruses
• The non-n00bs may take pity on you and teach you some HTML
• The rest of your family knows how to use it
• You can load expression media pages on it!

Cons

• For every page you visit with Internet Explorer, a kitten dies
• Linux users will mock you (except those secretly running it under Wine)
• j00 \/\/0|\|7 83 (0|\|5||)3|23|) 1337 (You won't be considered l33t)
• OMGWTFBBQ IT'S A N00B USING I.E (Oh my god, a lazy bitch using Internet Explorer)
• You won't be able to use wonderful extensions

• Opera Software will launch a gelatin monster to rape you.

• Microsoft made it.

Safari

l33t p0in75: 3
If you're not an apple user, screw you. This browser will run like a slug on your Windows computer, and won't run at all on you pointless nerdy Linux machine.

Pros

• No websites display properly. This means you can't get a virus.
• Its icon is a compass. Not that this helps.
• ZOMG! BOUNCING ICONS! (The Safari Icon Bounces, instead of opening)
• Built in with Apple
• It wants you to look at porn.

Cons

• You still probably can get a virus (Windows)
• Unless you get banned from the forum
• "Are you lost in the jungle Little Billy? Here, have a compass."
• Just give it 2 more years. It will open eventually. It has to, right?
• Except for new versions, which cost $$$
• You are using a Mac or Windows
  • Unless you are running it in Wine
• Using anything other than Safari will cause Steve Jobs to ass rape you in your sleep.

Konqueror

l33t p0in75: π
If you're not a Linux or BSD user, screw you. You can't use this browser. UPDATE: KDE4 IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR MAC AND WINDOWS

Pros

• You're a member of a minority, which is always cool, I mean, is there something like white pride or straight pride?
• Goes perfectly well with the KDE philosophy: "If there are free system resources, add more features."
• Your girlfriend has no idea how to use it, so she won't discover your porn addiction.
• It's also a file manager and an ftp client. On steroids. (This thing could delete Chuck Norris's ass if he was a program, but he isn't. Regrettably.)

Cons

• Some pages actually load.
• No extensions, no plugins, except for the ones it borrows from your (also-installed) Mozilla browser.
• You can preview ogg-vorbis files in it (whatever the hell they are).

Epiphany

l33t p0in75: 10
If you're not a Linux or BSD user, screw you. You can't use this browser.

Pros

• Lets your blind grandmother read; the browser has an enlarging feature.
• Goes with the GNOME policy, "When you find a feature, remove it."
• Renders all pr0n sites correctly.

Cons

• ...does little else
• Your grandmother is blind. She can't even read super-enlarged text.
• The browser will be blank in version 2.0

Google Chrome

l33t p0in75: 10^100 (a googol)
If you're not a Windows user, screw you. You can't use this browser, yet. You can use this browser, but it runs like Steven Hawkings. UPDATE: Now anyone can use this super fast web browser!

Pros

• Based on WebKit (same as Safari). Thus no websites display properly. This means you (still) can't get a virus.
• Very cool name!
• It has a built-in pr0n mode!
• It's way faster than Opera or Safari.
• Nerds use it.
• The beta version has add-ons called Extensions

Cons

• Google gets to see all your child porn, even in pr0n mode.
• Nerds use it.

Opera

l33t p0in75: 16

Widget caught in the act of reading your e-mail.

Pros

• WIDGETS R TEH FUN (Many useless widgets for you to do whatever you please)
• H4$ 4 4w3$0m3 1337 C0nv3r73r W!dg37
• Talk to depressed teenage girls in IRC chat (in case you actually do)
• You can brag about being non-existent (only -10% of users use Opera)
• A big O is the logo. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
• Made in Norway
• Makes you feel rich/cultured. It is called Opera, after all.

Cons

• Widgets take up too much CPU power, and that's only one widget
• No source code for you to write a swear word in
• Those depressed teenage girls are actually actually fat, mentally unstable, divorced 40 year old women.
  • The fat women may squeeze through the O and EAT YOU!
    • ... Exactly.
• If you're non-existent, you couldn't brag about it
  • Until Opera 10.01, that is It's here, and we still don't exist. Damn.
