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.

Main Article: Apple Safari

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

Main Article: Konqueror

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).

Google Chrome

l33t p0in75: 10^100 (a googol)
