Poll: Internet Browsers and You

[rokkolpo]

i have IE and firefox.

i recently got firefox to watch a vid i couldn't see with IE.
i think it's slightly faster than IE. but not by much.

Firefox purely for the reason that everytime i use IE i end up with 20 pieces of SpyWare/Malware on my system :/

IE, because it came with my computer and I'm too lazy to fix it.

At this point I have too many bookmarks to switch.

Chrome on my desktop PC, Safari on my MacBook and iMac. Just the best browsers for the computers.

Chrome, it's the best one I've found. IE is like a bit of a schizo freak in that it is very selective about what it will and will not load. But then due to some cosmic alignment it suddenly loads these things and then refuses to load everything else. Also, I find that Chrome is just available. I pop on to Google (my homepage) and boom download.

Opera with Google Chrome for flash applications that Opera won't/can't run.

For some odd reason Firefox worked like an old man suffering from arthritis. Switched to Chrome and never looked back.

Google Chrome, although I do occasionally use Firefox and Opera too. Chrome is the only browser I've used so far that can handle more than 40 tabs without crashing. I do miss some of the add-ons that you can get on Firefox though. Firefox is much more customisable, but then I like Chrome for its simplicity. Opera...I don't even know why I used it in the first place. Probably for IRC.

...What the hell kind of sites are you going to? And don't you use any anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-malware things?

I run spybot once a week, and have both firewall and anti virus software installed- however this doesnt escape the fact that IE is full of holes. I was obviously over exaggerating when i said "20 pieces of spyware", i was just making a point.

Plus imo Firefox looks better anyway.

I mostly use Chrome, but if something has issues with Chrome, I have Firefox and IE installed. Multiple browsers also helps when I click the wrong year on age-restricted sites without realizing it- I can just switch to a different browser and retry.

 

[AvsJoe]

Chrome lately. But I still like Firefox the most of the bunch and I even prefer IE to Chrome. IE has never done me wrong.

 

[aseelt]

Chrome on my netbook, desktop and big laptop

Had to use IE/Firefox at Uni today and it was like I was in the stone age. Torturous I tell you!

Bookmarks are imported when you install another browser.

OT: As I've said in around 50 of these threads, Firefox.

It's called the search bar, and it's at the top of the page.

I use Firefox.

Oh, awesome.


Why do you use Firefox? Because now I feel free to switch...

 

[zhoominator]

Firefox on my laptop (I have pretty personas ) and Google Chrome on my home PC. I'll also sometimes used Safari too.

Customisation, addons, security, download system (over IE not other browsers), faster with tweaks and it's open source.

You can basically make it look and do whatever you want.

Google Chrome. Super Fast, looks good and addons. Only downside, a FEW things aren't supported by it.
