Which internet browser and search engine do you use?

[Tsutarja]

Google Chrome on my main desktop and laptop, but I use Firefox on my server PC because I have found its performance to be better than Chrome. However, I don't use the browser on my server often and I have been a regular Chrome user since March of 2011, so it's difficult for me to back out of it as my main, everyday browser.

As for searching, I use Google. By default, you can see queries as you type in your keyword, which is something that cannot be done with Bing, and their maps are by far better than bing because they're user-edited and mistakes can be corrected by a community of people unlike bing's maps.

Most time I use firefox, because it's my best configured web browser. Alternatives I also use sometimes Opera and Chromium (Google Chrome without Google functionality).

As a searching engine duckduckgo does the trick. I'm using it in combination with Google because it allows me to search anonymously.

 

[Scripturient]

Google Chrome for now, until something better comes along. I used to be a big firefox user, but it got sluggish in my opinion. Duckduckgo is awesome, but I'm primarily a Googler. :P

IE10 with Bing as my search engine. Get on my leve-


I use Chrome with Google as my default search engine. It just gives better and more accurate results than any other search engine I've used... except Ask Jeeves. I miss him.

Okay, you've confused me, but I'll answer both questions anyway.

I use Firefox for my browser and Google for my search engine.

 

[Hikamaru]

I use Google Chrome, with Google as my search engine.

Yeah, I seem to have a Google thing going on with me. Never fails for me, and it's easier for me to post images and links on PC with.

Up until a few months ago, I was going with the Google/Chrome combo, too. Around November, though, I found that Firefox seemed to run a lot faster for me than Chrome did, even after I uninstalled it and re-downloaded it. Still use Google as my regular search engine, but on the odd occasion I'll use Bing, since MSN is my homepage.

I'm currently using Google Chrome as my web browser. It's got a slick design and Firefox was messing up on me so I ended up switching to Chrome and I haven't looked back since.

For search engine I use Google. I haven't had any luck using other search engines; they're just awful.

I am switching use with IE9 and Firefox. I am mainly a Google researcher

 

[Schnider]

This might sound a little weird but Chrome's slow as hell on my PC. So I use Firefox. Haven't had many problems with it so far and it works pretty decently as far as speed is concerned. So yeah. As for search engine, I use what most usually go with - Google.

 

[Archenoth]

I'm an Opera guy... Yay limited choices!

I usually use Google for my general queries, but other search engines for more specialized tasks.

 

[Inferna]

I use chrome and google. First thing i did when my Granda got his new laptop was to dowload chrome and delete IE, I just said it was faster :L
I don't like Bing or Yahoo as search engines. Firefox never worked on my laptop for me so I stuck to Chrome after I switched from IE.

I used Chrome for the longist time but then it kept blue screening my pc so i had to switch to fire fox.

i would prefer chrome just for the lower cpu usage

 

[Legendary Silke]

I use...

Internet Explorer 10 on my laptop. Funny how I keep going back to it even when I use something else for a while. It's like... I know it very well, and I know my way around almost everything with it. It's been the same since version 9. I already know its quirks (and there ain't much), and I do appreciate that the browser will run well, even on systems with very weak CPUs (due to its reliance on the GPU), under almost every circumstance.

As for the search engine, I'm very used to using Bing, after a long time of using Google. I think I'm OK with that.

 

[Synerjee]

I use Google Chrome for my preferred browser and Google as my only search engine. Both have been very reliable to me. I do use Mozilla Firefox occasionally though, but I find it much slower compared to Chrome.

 

[DraconianWing]

I have and regularly use all three (plz don't ask why) and my all-time search has always been Google.

 

[Mr. X]

No Opera on the list?

Anyway, My main browser in the past was Avant but I've since switched to Opera.

Main search engine is Google.

 

[Guy]

I dropped Internet Explorer back in 2008 and switched over to FireFox. I tried Chrome for about a week or two, and found myself missing FireFox after. It's a shame, because I really do love the sleek look on Chrome, but I much prefer using FireFox.

Google over any other search engine though. Microsoft should stop trying to make Bing happen. It's not going to happen.

 

[Squirrel]

I use Chrome & Google! Partly because I'm very happy with both with very few complaints (other than Chrome's tendency to crash at awkward times...) but I mostly only use them because I have no idea what the alternatives are haha. They work well for me though so I'm happy!

 

[Sylphiel]

Firefox and Google here. Ever since switching to it from IE stopped my old, old desktop (one that died back in 2003 or so) from blue-screening every day, I haven't been able to switch to any other browser. Not even Chrome, it just doesn't feel right. :( FF all the way here, I'm just too used to it by this point.

As for using Google, uhh. I guess it's just force of habit really (and it's still one of the best search engines I know of so far, so that's a plus).
