What Browser you Use?

[Aku no Hikari]

Not sure if I already posted this but ...

Actually, you posted it just in the same page. :P (Take a look at post #129 above your post.) Though there are 40 days between them, so it's not strange you didn't remember.


I use Firefox. (In fact, I created a group for it.) I keep a crapload of other browsers installed for testing though, as I'm a web developer.

To be fair, Chrome is comparable to Firefox. On the one hand, it's superior speed-wise. On the other hand, its JavaScript API caused me a few headaches before. Firefox is the best browser I've worked with so far when it comes to web standards and all. That, I can't live without Firefox extensions.

When it comes to the looks, I dislike Chrome's "minimalistic" interface. And I dislike IE's heavily butchered/disorganized interface too. I prefer Firefox's more "traditional" interface, as it's the most accessible and intuitive one.

At the momenst, I use firefox. I used it all my life, so I'm used to it.
I tried Chrome a few months ago, and that was really good... but I accidentally deleted it while trying to find a virus, and theres no point downloading it again if I'm happy with Firefox.

I really can't stand Internext Explorer... it just annoys me. The people I work with disagree though...

I switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome.

[FurryThales]

I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Why? Who knows... it's better than IE

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Firefox, anyday.

[Megamind's Minion]

[Anoleis]

I was using Firefox, but Chrome works better with the school internet, and is prettier imo~

[Radiation]

Flock. I just love it. BTW have any of you already tried IE9..? They're promoting that it is faster than Google Chrome

[.:neuko:.]

I use Internet Explorer by default, even though I know it's not the fastest or most reliable brower. It's just that I like its functionality and I'm used to the structure... so I'm reluctant to change. However, I've started using Firefox and Chrome lately, and they're good: Firefox is pretty stable, and a good all rounder, and Chrome is fastest (in my opinion) with minimal clutter - although I think the latter comes at the expense of some functionality compared to the other browsers.

Well I've tried the Beta version, but it was too unstable, so I uninstalled it. IE8 does plenty for me so I'll leave IE9 until I really need it.

I'm starting to use Google Chrome over Internet Explorer 8 since it's faster on my laptop.

On the other hand, its JavaScript API caused me a few headaches before.

What? Are you talking about Chrome's Extension API, or V8, the implementation of JavaScript? If you're writing high-quality, standards-compliant JavaScript, you shouldn't have any trouble in Chrome.

In both cases, I find Chrome to be superior. Chrome's implementation is much better, especially in ECMAScript 5's strict mode. Even Firefox 4.0's Jagermonkey isn't nearly as polished (or fast) as V8.

As far as IE 9, I found that it crashes pretty frequently on even the most recent versions of the beta, but there are cases where the hardware acceleration (especially using when using canvases) is quite impressive. At very least, IE 9 is a step in the right direction.

Hm. I read some of the posts here and I'm seeing an intense hate for Internet Explorer. I cannot understand why. Firefox is always crashing on me, so I dislike that. Chrome is.. The layout is too small. There aren't any menu buttons, which irks me to no end. I like having ultimate control over my browser. Everyone says "OMG OMG CHROME IS SOOOO FAST". Yeah, so? You only have a millisecond for it to load, otherwise you get shot in the head? You don't really need all that 'speed,' I think. I haven't tried Opera, so I can't say anything about that. Internet Explorer is what I grew up with, and is what I'll remain faithful to.

 

Internet Explorer never crashes on me. It lags a TINY bit when I have a crapload of windows open, but that's it.

Yeah keep using IE. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot (google it), scan with both programs and see how infected your computer is. If you have find no problems then stick with IE, but if you find a boat load of infections then move to another browser.
------------------

I use Firefox with noscript and adblockplus. I use safari for private browsing since I don't have any important info stored on it.

While I've played around with chrome and it's too minimal for me use, I like to have more control over how my browser works (themes and all) which is something Firefox does me.

IE has some crappy options and feels clunky, MS doesn't even update the browser to add new functionality to the existing versions. They leave it the way it is until they have some really horrible issue that needs to be addressed, or they update to the newest IE when they feel like it.

The Simple Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

Chrome is much faster than other browsers. It’s easy to use and open the page quickly. I always feel comfortable while using chrome.

I started using Firefox a few years ago because it was the only browser that supported the LJ login switcher, which made switching between accounts a lot easier.

[Captian Jack sparrow]

I use google chrome because it dosent leave my system running heavy and i can open about 17 tabs before it starts bogging down my system like fire fox dose.

[Ultor grissom]

Firefox with some add-ons including Aero Fox XL.
I have been using Firefox for a few years and I have never looked back on IE to this day.
On a side note, I am happy to see that the Real Player video download feature once again works with the latest version of Firefox.

[DragonSoul]

Well i use Internet E and i use Google alot too

[Sinistra]

I am a hardcore firefox user. makes web development a lot easier with all this W3C verification that has to take place to make sure your HTML/PHP is sound lol

[Xanfiore]

Google Chrome only. Cuz that's the only browser I use everyday. =w=

[vIvIeY_zErO]

I have Internet E. , Google Chrome and Firefox. I used Internet Explorer the first time but I think its a little slow so, I switched to Firefox although Google Chrome are much faster but I like the Firefox personas... I'm using the Kagamine twins as my persona right now ^^

[Ranshiin]

I use Firefox (Firefox 4 beta 8 to be specific) on my desktop, simply because for a while I've been a bit of a Firefox fan and also the theme is a LOT better than pretty much every other browser.

On my laptop I use Google Chrome though, because it does load up a lot faster than Firefox from boot and my laptop is also very slow. :<
