What browser do you use?

Currently, I am using Firefox, having switched from a failing Safari (which was moreso the problem of my aging Mac than the browser itself) and used it ever since. It's faster and safer than IE, and the WOT add-on is a life saver. There are a few quirks I don't like, such as the "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error, but they aren't significant enough to make me switch.

Reading this thread, it looks like using a variety of browsers is a good idea. I might try this with Firefox and either Opera or Chrome.

I am currently using Mozilla Firefox and have been for quite a while. It's easily the best and most customizable with many different add-ons and a pretty good loading time. Other browsers have good features too, but this is the one that I'm most used to, so I'm probably going to stick with it for a long time. Google Chrome and Opera are also good browsers from what I've done with them. The worst I've used has to be Internet Explorer, it's very slow and the interface is never something that appealed to me.

I've said this various times, but I'll say it again:

Safari: For my main account on PC, for uploading purposes, and for fanart hunting. Default browser since Mac.
Firefox: Used for manga reading, downloading, browsing PC on an alt. (Sewaddle, at the moment), video watching, LJ RPing, etc. Despite its many uses I use Safari more o3o
Chrome: For MAL, a flash game, sometimes PC on another alt., the occasional video watching and the occasional fanart hunting. It's the only browser of mine that doesn't seem to randomly crash.

I started out with Internet Explorer and I've tried Chrome, Opera, and Safari, but Firefox is the only browser that suits my tastes and the only one I've been the most consistent with. Been usin' it ever since I downloaded it.

Google Chrome is just the best. Most people just don't know it's full extent and convinience. For instance, very few know of the Incognito Window feature, or the Task Manager feature. Not only that, but it's super fast and is very useful if you have slow internet.

It also has that Recently Closed feature which saved me twice when I accidentally closed my windows. It also has the "Downloads History" feature (Ctrl+J) and the "Browsing History" feature (Ctrl+H). Not only that, but it can save passwords for you too!

It also has the find text feature, zoom in feature, and many more features I'd hate to add in this thread in order to keep it from growing too long.

If you want to know more, either PM or VM me or just Google it!

And did you know Google Chrome was made by Google? That was obvious, of course. But this means that you have a few "Google advantages" over other browsers. Again, you'll have to Google it to find out or just PM/VM me.

Mozilla is fine. It's safe, but it doesn't cover speed much. It's safe version is nice. It's like Defense Deoxys. But like Defense Deoxys, it lacks good speed and attack.

Google Chrome is not that much on defense, I guess. But it's fast and I like it. I'm not saying Mozilla is not fast. I'm just saying that Mozilla is not fast or anything. Mozilla Firefox is fast, alright. Which is why they named it Mozilla Firefox. (Here comes Team Star Fox...) But personally Google Chrome is more convenient. It's just my opinion. Don't destroy an entire star because of it. I'm not that used to Mozilla. Maybe if I was, I'd pick Mozilla Firefox but I was more used to Google Chrome and that's... that.

Alright, end of my story. Thanks for reading. It's late here. Imma sleep now. Good night.

Right now I switched from Firefox 5 to Pale Moon 5 x64, mainly because it's been tweaked to use less memory and to run faster(even than Firefox 5 already runs faster than most browsers)

You do know that pretty much all browsers have the features you just listed for Chrome? Also Opera's "Opera turbo" function or whatever it's called works best for people on dial-up or on a slow connection. And for all you Chrome users try viewing this animated png file:



You jelly that you can't see it work unless you're on Firefox or Opera?

I consistently used Firefox, but in a downtime period with it, I had SRWare Iron (it's basically Google Chrome without the majority of background intrusions that Google puts in its browser) and Opera.

Since 4.0, Firefox has since been my main again, with Iron and Opera as my backups (Opera being my choice for anonymity).

I'm using Internet Explorer 9. For what reason? Well, at least I won't have to wait long when it starts up, and Google Chrome for some reason chokes on my favourite forum style, Route 167, and I don't fancy fixed backgrounds. I also don't like the way text looks at other browsers.

I do use Firefox and Chrome as backup plans and cross-browser compatibility checks, though.

I use Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, (all latest versions of course).

But reason why I like Firefox first, was that Chrome looked to akward for me and IE ran pretty slow at the time. I didn't want to try Opera or Safari, so I can't say much about those two.

However, I'm getting used to Chrome's layout, and it's my next browser I use, if FF crashes on me.

Yeah, my friend recommended Pale Moon a few weeks ago. I'm still using 3.6.18, though. Enough with the crappy fast release schedule.

I use IE with some FireFox at times - IE just works for me and I don't care too much for special features so I just stick with it (plus I haven't gotten any viruses from it anyways as I don't tend to do silly stuff on it). I may try out chrome later though just to see what that is like...

Used to be Internet Explorer, now it's Chrome.

So I voted Chrome.
