Haven't done one of these for a while. Interesting to see the spread. I used firefox for ages but have switched back to opera again.

Firefox for me with IE very occasionally when Firefox isn't compatible.

Chrome FTW...its the fastest out there...

by **GTFO. SiR-ROUND** » 22 Feb 2010, 15:12

Use Chrome on the gamerig, don't think it's that fast. It's confusing to me...

I'm sticking with FF.

by **r3loaded** » 22 Feb 2010, 15:32

Chrome 4 stable here, with IE tab for those very few cases where I need the IE rendering engine. I've uninstalled the main IE executable from Windows 7, and also keep a portable copy of Firefox (though I don't normally use it).

Firefox all the way.

god you're all idiots, opera ftw!

I use Opera as my dominant browser, however I have Firefox and Chrome installed as well.

I'd love to see Opera adopt the features that require me to keep Firefox and Chrome installed (amazing browser plugins with Firefox and the individual process tabs of Chrome).

by **GTFO. gungadin** » 22 Feb 2010, 16:45

Firefox is the only browser worth playing with at the moment. Chrome is starting to look good though!

same, but without Interslut Exploder actually: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909

if some site requires IE, I just press a button inside FF

FF + Chrome Installed

Mainly use FF

Tried Chrome for the f of it on this laptop, seems fast. But then again, wait until it clogs up just like all other browsers.

by **GTFO. Coxy** » 22 Feb 2010, 18:59

Opera ftw

by **GTFO. TommyBoy** » 22 Feb 2010, 20:47

IE, never had a problem with it and never found the need to use anything else.

by **GTFO. SiR-ROUND** » 22 Feb 2010, 22:49

Really?

I found IE to slow down to a halt over time... Even the wife uses FF now, as she got fed up with the loading times.

Tried cleaning clean installing and whatnot. Still slow as f.

anybody uses Xmarks (the firefox plugin, the seperate service syncing IE bookmarks is still SHIT)?

such a relief in syncing my bookmarks between all computers.... & no need to back 'm up.

+1

Had some very bad experiences with FF, so I avoid it now.
Granted its generally more secure that IE6/7, but I didn't find it to be nearly as stable.

Sir Round, if you dont enable the daft extra features in IE8, then it stays pretty quick (even on my bloody awful ADSL connection from those useless twats at Sky)

by **GTFO. TommyBoy** » 22 Feb 2010, 23:52

Java Plugin 2 SSV helper is the only addon I have disabled, that makes a HUGE difference to load times.

by **GTFO. Ragostini** » 23 Feb 2010, 01:11

FF for me, been using it since 2004, love the range of useful plugins for it.

by **GTFO. Kitten** » 23 Feb 2010, 09:03

FF for me.

by **Neelix** » 23 Feb 2010, 14:21

I use FF nearly all the time except when some plugin isn't working. The addons, features and customization are awesome.

by **GTFO. kk20** » 23 Feb 2010, 15:48

never had an issue with IE. I dont install shite or plugins and generally have a clean ship.

I'm *trying* to switch to Firefox, but missing many of the features in Opera - I think it's a superior browser for home users.

The built in lightweight mail, and IRC client are very useful as I only use IRC on occasion and dont want a fully featured client. Built in gestures, right click blocking of adverts/scripts (yes FF can do this with ABP - but that's an extra), and faster load times make it overall better imho. The ordering of tabs when opening in background and control + shifting through them is also more logical (maybe this can be configured in FF). Oh and ofcourse no memory leak (mozilla ever going to fix this?!) - I find FF using 500MB+ of RAM after hours of use.

The development tools in FireFox is what's really won me over for now.

IE8 is very good, the development/debugging tools are excellent. That's all I have to say on it - previous versions of IE were pretty poor imho.

by **GTFO. SiR-ROUND** » 24 Feb 2010, 12:26

True on the FF mem problem... When I leave the kids on for an afternoon, it's pretty much out of mem...

:mrgreen:

FF FTW

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 28 Feb 2010, 00:45

Been using Firefox for a good few years now and I've become too attached to it to move on I think, although I did use Opera as my main browser around '05-'06 if memory serves right - I guess it's abit more feature full now than it was back then. I guess I've got used to the way things work in Firefox and some of it's addons, Adblock Plus and Greasemonkey to name two

.

by **GTFO. SiR-ROUND** » 28 Feb 2010, 22:16

Adblock is the shit.

But... IE7Pro can do the same thing for IE.

Chrome is fast when you open few tabs, with more tabs it's very slow. I think Chrome is good if you have high end system.

I use Opera. I think G posted some link to Opera beta a year or so ago. Thanks alot G!

by **GTFO. Sly Raccoon** » 02 Mar 2010, 01:59

I use Chrome 5.0.3 beta and always use the Chrome beta versions. I get problems every now and again but all in all I think it's getting better faster.

If I read threads as these I always wonder where the ppl are that make up the stats that IE has by largely the biggest marked....
