Poll: Browsers

[Lyx]

You're just being picky, now, aren't you?

Picky as in having above average expectations? Yes. Picky as in discarding stuff because of minor issues? Nope.

Example regarding opera: I cannot read parts of the UI!!! with my OS-colorscheme. Bright text on bright background just isn't very efficient.

Regarding k-meleon: The bookmarks-sidebar is the most frequently UI-element that i use when browsing. And it being incompatible with my keyboard layout means, that if for example i want to enter an umlaut somewhere, it instead erases the textcontents of the inputfield!

I use FireFox.

I tried to go to Chrome, and it was indeed a whole lot faster, but it was just too stripped down for my taste.

Agreed. I can't be on the Net without my video downloader and converter on Firefox, as well as all the other add-ons, as well as the window skins.

Switched from Firefox to Opera recently, and I'm happy with the change at the moment.

Chrome here.

I don't need extensions - only got a tab manager and another one that disables flash - so I go for the faster one .

If ya wanna switch browsers, you might want to consider waiting until Firefox 4 gets out, since it gets all sorts of hardware acceleration.


Hope this helped.

I like Firefox, it doesn't seem to have that memory leak problem anymore.

[sub]Besides, I can't switch to Chrome or Opera anymore, I have too many extensions running already. Om nom nom adblock plus.[/sub]

Chrome, I just switched out from using firefox, despite firefox having a better range of plugins. (someone please put up the Internet explorer De-motivational "Internet explorer, the No.1 browser for downloading a better browser")

Ask, and ye shall recieve...

Sorry. But how about xkcd?

Also, Firefox. I like the variety of plugins plus the mascot by far the cutest one.

Firefox, its the first program I install after switching from one OS/PC to another

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

I'd like to use Chrome. But Google catalogues all your info, so I don't even want to imagine if they tracked everything through the browser.

So Firefox.

 

[Wharrgarble]

I was always a Firefox fan until I finally broke down and tried Chrome. I haven't gone back since.

 

[Davey Woo]

I used Internet Explorer for ages, and then for a while on my old PC switched to Google Chrome.
I now just use Internet Explorer because I got it with my new PC (obviously) and I can't be bothered to download anything else, and I don't care really because Internet Explorer shows me Internet pages, and that's all I want it to do.

 

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

I've tested Chrome out on my main rig, but didn't switch from Firefox because my computer is fast enough that the difference between the two was negligible or nigh non-existent. Plus, I love NoScript (at the time of deciding between the two browsers Chrome did not have a NoScript equivalent, maybe it does now, I wouldn't know).

I DO use Chrome on my slower-than-Pangaea netbook, because Chrome is MUCH faster on slow machines than other browsers.

I used to use Opera, but some websites I regularly visited at the time did not cooperate with Opera, so I stopped using it.

 

[Kargathia]

Give Chrome a NoScript addon and I'll give it a go, but until then I'm happy with Firefox 4 beta.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Firefox mostly. Safari when firefox doesn't work and Internet Explorer when nothing else works.

 

[Adam28]

Chrome or Firefox, but am always willing to try others.

 

[BringBackBuck]

On the recommendation of the fine and upstanding escapist community, I have just downloaded Google Chrome (usually I use Safari & Firefox).

Any tips / tricks for a chrome noob?

 

[Klepa]

I'm currently using chrome, but it has it's limitations. I'm not 100% satisfied with any browser. I used to be a firefox man, but it kept hogging a lot of memory. Should probably see what their current version looks like.

 

[FinalHeart95]

I prefer Chrome. I don't need the many apps that Firefox has, and Chrome is indeed faster.

I use Firefox as a back-up browser though. It's a solid browser, I just like Chrome more.

 

[Pielikey]

Chrome, because it's a web browser that focuses on only one thing and that's browsing the web. I mean what else do you REALLY need
