Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, what do you use??

I have a Mac and my main browser is Safari. However, I've been trying Chrome now and again. Its a great browser dont get me wrong. I really want to like it, but its missing a few key things such as print preview of all things and better PDF support. It does a feel a tad smoother than Safari at times though.

I'm not a big extension guy so Safari meets my needs just fine. I also like its clean, minimalist interface and the way it manages tab as well as its tight integration with OS X. I just wish it wasn't such a memory hog.
I was wondering when someone would mention Safari. Does anyone else use Safari? I only do it if the computer is a Mac with no other default browsers.
 
i recently switched to opera, and my only complaint is when i am talking to people in facebook in one tab it doesn't tell me when they send me a new message via noise or any visual indicator, so i tend to forget im messaging people when i'm browsing other things
 
Firefox. I'm actually good with any browser as long as it's not IE, but Firefox gets the job done so I don't bother downloading the others.

Chrome runs the fastest on my old comp (much faster than FF), so naturally I still use it on the new comp. That and it has the smallest heading thingy so I get more page viewing space. Additionally, I don't need many extensions for my web browsing use.
 
Firefox is my main browser. Before that I used Safari, and Internet Explorer before that, when each one got boring/laggy.
I've dabbled with Chrome a little bit.
 
Used IE at first, and quickly switched to Firefox. Parents are loyal IE users though, and refuse to update for whatever reason.

After using firefox, I saw Chrome. It made my day, although I still used Fox. Eventually I used both browsers (If one browser isn't working, I use the other one.) I use Chrome more frequently although I use Firefox depending on the situation.

I tried Opera and Safari, and my opinion they were quite horrible, in my experience of using it.
 
Well, I tried Firefox myself about a year and a half ago, and loved it. Problem was, as time went on, it started massively slowing down and crashing all over the place, so I switched to Chrome. It's a lot faster on my aging computer, sleeker looking, has much fewer hissy-fits, and is more agreeable when it comes to webpage design.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU, INTERNET EXPLORER. >I

Hm...Opera might be worth a try in the future, but I'm content with Chrome for now.
 
I use Firefox since Internet Explorer is fucking terribly slow. I've used Safari once or twice and it's terrible too from what I remember.
 
Well, thanks to Umbreon Dan I now have switched to Opera as my primary browser.

I think you guys should read this, especially those who are skeptical about Opera and have not tried it yet. It's very informative.
 
The amount of default features is exactly why I dont use Opera. I don't need any of them. I could care less about navigating the web with voice control. Maybe if I lose both my hands that will become something I care about.

I like how Chrome has a separate process for each tab, and I also prefer it aesthetically.
 
Opera is awesome, especially with it's speed dial.
Firefox has a speed dial addon. That's my favorite part of using Firefox, the themes (NOT FUCKING PERSONAS BUT ACTUAL THEMES) and addons.


Personally, I run the chromifox theme with the extension for it because I find chrome's appeal more visual than mechanical (insert someone proving me wrong) along with greasemonkey, adblock plus, and noscript at the core of my addons.

Really? I've had Firefox for years but never knew it had speed dial. But then again, I never downloaded much addons. I like the Bob Marley theme though.

To be honest, I just have Opera, Firefox, Safari and IE all in one comp. That way I can alternate between each one anytime. :3
 
My favorite browser is definitely google chrome. Ever since that stopped working however I used Internet Explorer (painful) to find and download Firefox, Opera and Safari. On my computer Mozilla was hardly faster than IE and prone to crashing. Opera was my browser of choice for a while until I realized Safari went almost as fast while crashing much less often (all of my browsers crash all of the time, my computer needs to be fixed) so I am typing this now on Safari because it's the only browser that will let me make posts successfully now.
 
You know, I'm reading a lot of people saying they switched browsers because their old one "broke". Learn to keep your PC working right. It probably "broke" because of malware. Or perhaps because something (a windows bug, another program, or a user) accidentally deleted a needed file. If a simple web browser isn't working, that's a sign of deeper problems with your system that need fixing. The simple, blunt approach is of course a Windows re-install.
 
Chrome ftw. It's faster than any browser I've ever used, I can watch porn without being detected (Incognito mode ftw). I don't think I'll be using any other browser soon.
