What Web Browser Dost Thou Use? (To stop Tom's nagging)

Post by ace62394 »

So which one do you guys use? I've been using FireFox for about a year now, but some complications have forced me to try something else... Chrome! And I love it! :mrgreen:

I use IE8 when allowed.
Spoiler:
My dad won't let me update the version on his computer from IE2 or something like that because he doesn't like the way the buttons look, so I'm forced to use Firefox 3.5 at his house. What's worse, though, is that he hates Firefox even more than IE7/8.

And you willingly use IE over FireFox... ?

At home, I would like to use Firefox 2, but when I had to reinstall Windows it was no longer available to download, so I use Firefox 3. I haven't been bothered to update to 3.5 yet. At school, I have to use IE 5 or IE 8, depending which computer I'm on.

My favourite browser is one included in (if I remember correctly,) Knoppix: Ice Weasel. It's Firefox, but with a much cooler name.

Firefox. It's the only choice - why anyone would want to use Internet Explorer (which in its present incarnation is Firefox but where every single function doesn't work quite as well) or Safari (which doesn't work) is beyond me.

I'm forced to use IE on my parents' computer because they don't want the kids to crap up the system; also it's about 8 years old, so I don't think it's single-core no-hyperthreading processor could handle Firefox.

On my comp, I use Firefox 3.5 with about 50 add-ons that I hardly ever have a need for. I just decided that if it should ever happen that I needed that incredibly specific function, I would be glad I had it right then. I do love the absolute customization of Firefox, though. And also, the foxy little icon is incredibly adorable :D .

Same as Tom, but with an iPod Touch. I do have Firefox 3.0.8 available as well, should I use it instead? What's so great about it?

Everything. Better stability, can render pages much more better, and a high level of customization.

Just had to force quit Safari while loading (or failing to load) a YouTube video. Now visiting on FireFox!

IE8. Used it all my life, and I still use it out of habit.

I have firefox, but I can't bring myself to use it frequently.

I looked at Opera and I'm going to try it out. I feel so sacrilegious, though, because I'm using Firefox to download it. It felt good using IE to download Firefox, but this feels wrong. I love my little foxy!


Edit: :shock: Opera is FAST

Safari just crashed while loading this site (dost thou!). Fortunately I am now using Opera, one of the other five web browsers available for Mac that I have installed.

Has Chrome for Mac been released yet? I daren't look.

Let's see. I am a tiny bit smart. Therefore, I use Firefox.

3.5.5, to be accurate.
