Porn browser wars?
Like Robert Accettura, I frequently get emails from strangers asking for Gmail invites, help with Firefox problems, or JavaScript code. But this one caught me by surprise:

Subject: HI....... porn?? Firefox or Opera????Hello,
The dillema I am facing is. I love surfing porn. I am with Windows Internet Explorer 6 and have had a NIGHTmare surfing porn with it. I dont need the stress, so need some advice.
People have recommended Firefox, as you have. But I am also hearing now that Opera is best. So I am confused, and yet feel URGENT need to actualize one of the other. For sanity sake.
Can you help?

Well, Opera is making some gains in this area ;)

I recommend Firefox + NoScript extension. Opera is good too, but i use Firefox.

Ha! Sometimes you forget how ridiculous the internet is.

Opera, hands down. And I mean that almost literally.
Opera has this nifty little feature called Fast Forward, which in porn terms means one-handed browsing. Open a gallery, click an image. Hit space, until it scrolls to the bottom of the page. Hit space again, and what do you get? The next image in the gallery.
It’s like it was invented for this very purpose. I even know true FF buffs who switch to Opera whenever they’re watching porn.
I hope you can be unbiased enough to tell the poor guy that. I noticed someone recommended FF with the NoScript extension. The same functionality is built-in with Opera, so it’s ideal for porn – right out of the box.

Neither! Lynx FTW!

ROTFL xD

Maybe we should support rel=”nsfw” in future versions of Firefox:

Not *that* surpising a question, given that Jesse has the handy page http://www.squarefree.com/pornzilla/ with tips for one-handed surfing with Firefox :)
Both Opera and Firefox are very well suited and indeed much more suitable than MSIE. With Firefox you need the bookmarklets and extension Jesse mentions and with Opera you need to find all the built-in options…

So what did you recommend? :)

I recommended Firefox with extensions, of course. But I also mentioned that Opera has some advantages over Firefox without extensions.

Firefox and Opera, both are safe for porn browsing… unless your parents are at home.

…how is one browser better than another for surfing porn?
January 7th, 2007 at 12:28 am
Ease of use whilst surfing with just one hand, I presume :-)

Both Firefox and Opera are good for safe browsing and it makes no sense a war…
