what internet browser do you use?

izmail1215 · May 7th, 2010, 06:42 PM

bing yahoo Google safari opera , internet expo? ect what ever?

Yoda · May 7th, 2010, 06:49 PM

Mozilla Firefox, not 1 issue

HotWheels · May 7th, 2010, 06:49 PM

When I was looking for a second browser a while back, Firefox had the most/best reviews. Not only for speed, but as well as the trillions of different little addons you can use to easily tweak it to your likings/usage modes. It also caught a good amount of malware and other nasty s during testing. It also has the nice privacy feature that does not save ANYTHING about your surfing sessions if you turn it on. This is also hehehe commonly referred to PORN mode LOL.

I just feel way to uncomfortable using IE anymore. There's been SOOO many exploits over time on it some that hackers have just loved. Do the research. Check out reviews for yourself and see what you feel comfortable with.

ninjabrewer · May 7th, 2010, 06:59 PM

safari, my experience with firefox was very different than hotwheels, for me, in always ran slower. so now I just stick to Safari.

Kawikaze · May 7th, 2010, 07:02 PM

Chrome. The speed and added extensions are a plus.

draco413 · May 7th, 2010, 07:08 PM

firefox

Cab305 · May 7th, 2010, 07:14 PM

safari

ScraitT · May 7th, 2010, 07:18 PM

Mostly Chrome, but I used to use firefox and still have and use it on my HTPC. Both are good, I have just gotten used to Chrome.

IE, I will never use unless they really fix its venerabilities.

alex.s · May 7th, 2010, 07:40 PM

used to be hardcore mozilla. got tired of the constant memory leaks. now i use nothing but chrome with the ad-block extension. feels much faster (about as fast as IE if not faster) and i like the styling. most of the chrome themes are pretty decent as well.

edit: oh yeah, IE is a piece of .... with it's gaping vulnerabilities.

Momaru · May 7th, 2010, 07:48 PM

Opera. Sometimes slows down a bit, but that's generally only once I've got 20+ tabs open. Love the mouse gestures.

edbro · May 7th, 2010, 08:00 PM

firefox for a long time now.

zenrush · May 7th, 2010, 08:13 PM

Chrome. I like the speed and it feels less cluttered.

heylookitsfranco · May 7th, 2010, 08:42 PM

when i was running windows i used to use opera....it's gotten bloated since I used it like 6 or 7 years ago. then I switched to firefox which is solid. when I got my mac, i stuck with safari until chrome came out.... now I use chrome because it's visibly faster than both firefox and safari (at least on my mac)....until it bugs out (which always seems to be when you have something relatively important to submit), then i use safari as my backup

Flow · May 7th, 2010, 09:08 PM

Firefox. It's slower, but internet explorer is about as safe as a condom made of chocolate. Chrome is horrible for casual browsing as it messes up the simplest of pages and I've just never tried Opera. Firefox is tried and true.

maglin · May 8th, 2010, 05:26 AM

Amazing how much ground Chrome has taken in the short time it has been around. I know it works great for me, I virtually never have problems with it.

Snake · May 8th, 2010, 09:55 AM

+1 for Firefox. I just started using it when I bought an 8 gig thumb drive.

Snake · May 8th, 2010, 09:57 AM

Funny no one has mentioned Internet Explorer yet and they are the top used in Alex's link.

Cedilla · May 8th, 2010, 10:15 AM

^Lol I don't think anyone uses IE by choice anymore. I stopped using IE the second I realized I had other choices and they were miles better.

I've been using Chrome since its release. It is by far the best browser for me. Its fast, and basic, no unnecessary fluff. Every now and then I have to use a website that Chrome just won't work for, then I use Firefox as a backup.

there are the millions of users who just don't know better--people like some of our mothers who would be using IE if we didn't tell them it was the devil spawn

sombo · May 8th, 2010, 12:29 PM

Firefox for several years now and I've turned others on to it as well.

As for how many still use IE. Well considering it's built into windows and pretty much the only one allowed on a ready built computers people buy (yay for the microsoft monopoly

) as well as most of those people not being aware there's something better to use it's no wonder it's still got the most users.

capt_bugaloo · May 8th, 2010, 12:32 PM

On my personal laptops, Firefox. On my corporate laptops, IE (no choice there). And on my iPod Touch, Safari.

VeX · May 11th, 2010, 11:14 AM

I used Firefox up until a couple of months ago before switching to Chrome. Ohhhh my what a difference! Even on my server Firefox ran like garbage (and not to mention after 3-4 days Firefox would start to gobble up RAM so I'd have to close it every 3-4 days and re-open it). One of my friends showed me this and it's epic LOL

beowuff · May 11th, 2010, 11:23 AM

In this order:
Chrome
Firefox
Safari

Yes, I use all three :P

QuarterBoreNinja · May 11th, 2010, 12:53 PM

I was using FireFox but added Chrome to give it a test run a couple months back. I had FireFox deleted from all my computers within 3 days of my test of Chrome...

izmail1215 · May 11th, 2010, 04:04 PM

IE8 optimized for bing and Google chrome modified to run on bing
yes i live bing

ScraitT · May 11th, 2010, 10:37 PM

For all those that enjoy the speed of Chrome, you should try upgrading to Chome 5. It's still in Beta, but it's like 20% faster then 4....it's pretty noticeable. On my comp, pages load almost instantly now.

Apex · May 12th, 2010, 05:36 AM

I mainly use FireFox. My computer is messed up at home and it isn't working properly. Some malware found it way onto the computer. I addressed the issue and removed it, but it jacked up my ability to surf the net. I am going to buy a new hard drive and reinstall all my programs on it. Hopefully it will start to work after that. So I surf ninjette using Safari at home. It doesn't work right still, but is better than IE or FF right now. Once the reinstall happens, it will work like a charm again.

I hope it works good enough for me to play WoW. I told a friend that I would log in Thursday so we could run some stuff together.

Reswob · May 12th, 2010, 08:11 AM

Chrome. I got fed up with Firefox, as the latest 2 versions are unacceptably slooooooowwwwwwwwwww.

skiba · May 12th, 2010, 09:27 AM

Google Chrome.
It's the new Firefox IMO

Open-source is the way to go.

I used to feel the same way, but there's a mouse gesture extension for firefox that works equally well, and it never has problems displaying pages properly.

rage42 · May 12th, 2010, 01:19 PM

Chrome.

Firefox might get me back if they stop forcing updates...it always happens when I have to get in to a web browser to fix something, and depending which computer I'm on is really slow.

bdavison · May 12th, 2010, 02:04 PM

Safari....

IE isn't fit for toilet paper.
Firefox is just too slow.
Chrome is a little TOO open source...er...just plain open.
