What Browser Do you Use?

What browser do you use/prefer?

I'm using Chrome at the moment, which IMO is better than IE, although I do find the boxes around things annoying and when you are reading a thread, if press backspace, it will still say you havent read it which is a downside compared to IE. Firefox is ok i suppose

Firefox does its stuff. But I have noticed in recent months that it is getting resource hungry and very slow at times (could, of course, be my machine!)

Safari on OSX, Firefox when on Windows. I use Mac most of the time.

I'm actually surprised by the current results, I would have thought that IE even though it is rubbish would be the most popular web browser

I think that the sample of people who have voted/or on the forum are quite good with computers hence not using IE but if we were to go on the street and ask the same question to the general public i should imagine that IE would be the main browser used, i used it up until this year

generalvegitable · 20th October 2009, 16:32

when I got my computer I decided to use IE because I couldn't be bothered to get a different browser, IE broke within 2 to 3 months of use

Other-Netscape Navigator for me i think it works better than Internet Explorer and Firefox

Or it could be badly coded addons, or addons which don't work as well with the most recent update as they did with previous builds.

Google Chrome. It's lightweight, loads quickly, extensions and themes are now available for it, it's becoming the ultimate browser.

The people you refer to as being 'good with computers' are actually the wannabe techs who have no clue what security is and who think they know everything.

Actually, he has some of us pegged, so don't go jumping on soap boxes.

Also I agree with him with the techie side of it, a majority of people who don't use IE, are usually more technical minded than people who stick with IE.

Maybe you should tell us what YOU know then instead of just trying to have a pop at other people.

Actually, don't, because anyone can see that you are trying to get yourself banned reading your contributions on other threads today.
