Just curious which browsers y'all use when viewing your favorite forum.  And why? Me? Google Chrome. I like it's better memory management and speed. Granted, I use to think "c'mon, with broadband internet, do the millisecond differences in browser rendering speed really matter?" But it turns out Chrome is noticeably faster for me. Lastly, with the advent of extensions for Chrome, Firefox lost its last great advantage in my eyes. What about you?

I've tried chrome a few times now, but without fail within ~30 minutes of use it just crashes on me.
P.S. - I just installled adblock. Why did I wait so long to get this? This is awesome!

IE 5% because some MS-centric apps don't work correctly in Firefox
Tried Chrome and found nothing to recommend it

I'm currently using all three just in case one catches something the others don't, and I'm still not noticing a negative impact on speed. I know what you mean, though... That was the FIRST extension I looked for! A must have! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Metro Atlanta | | | Hmm... That sucks. Good feature Chrome has when it comes to crashing, though, is that only the problem tab crashes... all the rest stay open and working. When Firefox crashes, the whole thing goes down (granted, it tries (and usually succeeds) to restore the session next time you start it). |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Eh? | | | 20% of my website's visitors use IE. Fortunately, it's IE 7 and 8.
I'm a Firefox guy. When I'm testing a web page, I run it through IE 6 to 8, Opera, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Metro Atlanta | | | I've got it for Chrome (and had it for Firefox before), an extension that will switch the rendering engine to IE for pages that display incorrectly. It's all personal preference, of course, but I just prefer still viewing those pages in the window of my preferred browser instead of having to open a whole 'nother program. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Newark, NJ | | | As a web dev I have a vendetta against non-standards complaint browsers...IE6 makes me want to drown kittens.
I also don't like Chrome just because I don't want to bug check sites in yet another browser.
Fire Fox for complete browsing monopoly! It's fast, secure, customizable(everything from controlling your iTunes, to developers tools like firebug) and best of all it's STANDARDS COMPLIANT!
Also I give Safari props for being the first browser to pass ACID 3, but I still use FF even on my mac.
