What browser do you use?

[OriginalCrash]

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?

Does Chrome have an adblock extension now? If it doesn't, it will never be close to Firefox. Speed or no speed, when I don't have to load the ads on the page, load times are next to nothing.

+1. load times not withstanding, it's worth it just to get all of that crap out of the way.

All Firefox, all the time.

Firefox almost always but I also have Chrome, Opera and IE installed which I'll occasionally use.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

Firefox. Sometimes safari, but 95 percent of the time firefox.

 

[jrthebassguy]

Firefox.


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!

Firefox 95%

IE 5% because some MS-centric apps don't work correctly in Firefox

Tried Chrome and found nothing to recommend it

It does. It has three (that I know of), in fact: AdBlock, AdThwart, and AdSweep. 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!

best thing that's happened to the internet since pR0n.

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).

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.

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.

Might have to give it another look then. Thanks!

chrome.

 

[DudeistMonk]

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.

 

[scrunks11]

everyone seems to liek firefox

 

[MadMan118]

I use Opera and Chrome about evenly now.

 

[jwbassman]

Firefox

Firefox. Customization to the max.
