What Browser Do You Use?

[Feng]

The OS poll made me curious.

Personally, I primarily use Opera.

[DeadSpace]

Opera-ites must band together ^^

[pavman]

Used to use Opera until I experienced problems with it waaay back when. Switched to Firefox and, for the most part, happy. I do like Opera's ability to keep everything open, but I'm sure there's a plugin to do that w/ Firefox.... I know if I kill it via taskmanager, it will restore session ;)

[Lagawrd]

I use crazy Browser. I hated using Firefox, it was not helpful to me at all. There are many reasons as to why. Crazy Browser was smiple easy and efficient.

So does Opera, plus it saves sessions of open tabs, handy, they open in a new browser seperate from the one currently open, all search engines in an instant, or favorite news sites, any session set of pages you want...all without leaving what you're doing. Email, bittorrent, all built in. Some very nice page tools, like auto refresh with a timer you can set per page.
Tried it way back when too, hated it then, buggy, bloated, generally crap...they improved it massively. It can be a mem monster >.> but i forgive it ;D

[qwerty]

Opera definatly. The only problem I have with it is with flash, where you need to click on a flash object to enable the controls of it.

[HackerX]

I use Firefox, but I'm a big fan of Konq

[BadMojo]

LOL - no one uses IE ?

I use firefox btw.

[athenian200]

I use Firefox on all my computers. It's faster and has more useful features. The other great thing about it is that since I've been forced to use my old K6-2 @ 350MHZ computer due to the system failure of another computer, it still works on Windows 98SE (although it's kind of slow). Of course, they're going to drop Windows 98 support in Firefox 3. :(

[burazekun]

I like Opera. I dont need to change 101 settings to be happy with it. But I support firefox if anyone puts it on their computer.

[melon]

I'm using Konqueror at the moment, as it has all the features that I would need from Firefox, integrates well with KDE, and is far faster (and isn't a memory hog). It has mouse gestures, ad blocking, many built-in "quick searches," and it doubles as an excellent file manager. I'm still waiting for Konqueror to be ported to OS X, so I'm using Safari on my Macbook.

[blue tie]

Internet Explorer if I want speed and stability (haha). Firefox if I want usability. Safari if I'm on a Mac.

I'm very distrustful of Firefox when it comes to pages with a lot of magic (plug-ins, movies, animations, etc). IE just seems so much... Faster. And more reliable. But not by much more.

[Santana28]

Internet Explorer - 0
Netscape - 0

oh, how the mighty have fallen... mwoohahaha

[qwerty]

Internet Explorer - 0
Netscape - 0

oh, how the mighty have fallen... mwoohahaha

Well technically netscape is no-longer supported. I think you can download the final ever build still but it will not recieve updates any longer. It's a shame to see one of the first ever browsers die.

[Vortex]

Firefox + addons = happy in pants time.

[Synnik]

Firefox, mainly. I love customizing stuff.

[ceg6]

Opera/Firefox depending on which machine I'm using.

[AgentofGaming]

If the browser has a intuitive interface and a dictionary I'm satisfied. (provided it's not overly vulnerable)

[ssfanatic]

Ive never tried anything other than mozilla and explorer, naturally i chose mozilla. I might have to check some of these other out.

[Fergie]

Usually it's Firefox, but if I'm using my BF's Wii (becuase he's busy) it's Opera.

[Antares]

Safari, but lately it's been crashing frequently. Don't like IE. Firefox's ok. I've tried Avant Browser and I really liked it, but for no apparent reason I stopped using it after I've gotten used to Safari.

[Nausved]

Too bad we couldn't select multiples.

I use Safari and Firefox about equally—usually both at the same time, hehe.

[searcheagle]

Surprising dominance of Firefox. When I'm posting, about 70% of the poll voted for it. The big, bad IE only has 1.96% of the results.

[eternaltriangle]

I use foxfire mostly because foxitreader doesn't work properly otherwise. Foxit reader is a vastly superior pdf reader to Adobe Acrobat. I strongly advise everybody to give it a try.

[Nearby]

I use the light weight IE. Firefox is a resource hog. Though I haven't used Opera to an extent, I found it a little over featured. Kon is simple and efficient.

[MrEPenguin]

Firefox FTW!!! ;D

[elfece]

Could someone who uses only Lynx actually vote for Lynx? :huh:

[knock7]

I use Firefox for several reasons.

1.) It is free.
2.) It is an easy download.
3.) It asks me and automatically updates itself. I have never had a problem with it.
4.) It works on all the platforms I use - OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and windows.

[nikewong]

IE sucks. Firefox is much more better than IE.

[Navitron]

Firefox as my main browser.
Opera as backup.
IE as a last resort.

[cRyPT]

FireFox 3 Beta 5 :)

[Terian]

Firefox.

[Jeannette]

Firefox. :]

[rokxal]

Pretty one-sided for firefox ;)
I find that the new windows/tabs load faster than IE. Haven't used opera in years and netscape only since the days before AOL ate it up. Safari on a mac around the time when firefox was still novel.

[gg666]

I am using Fire Fox currently, it does use up abit of resources, but other than that, the plugins/ad on features are a nice touch.

[WindKin]

Hehe, heavy lean towards firefox in that poll.

Should really be a multi-choice poll tho, since I use different browsers for different things.

Linux user here, and a little too fond of doing things manually (read: Gentoo) :P

So for checking out CVS(or other type) trees, lynx does a very neat job. Easy, no mess, no need for a whole big window to get a single file, no hassle.

For normal browsing it's firefox, mostly due to the fact you can have add addons to it to help make your life easier.

Konqueror mostly to impress the "Aero is the prettiest EVAR" windows turd that swings by my house, since it responds to the QT widgets you use at the time rather than a preset theme :P
I'm not a mean person, I just wish I were :P

But yeah, interesting results =P

[Nameless]

I use Firefox, but I'm not crazy about it. People saying it's "the best" and getting all worked up over it are crazy. It's good, but it's not great. I still can't believe some of the hype around it.

Firefox, and it's rise to the top, is often brought up as an example of what Open Source Software can achieve.
A shining example of what can happen when you have the imagination, talent, and input of a community, rather than the Microsoft "Because I say so" approach.

Firefox continues to evolve, improve and grow based on user input, commits, etc, while things like Internet Exploder evolve on the basis of reluctant updates when the Microsoft dogma of "Our browser was born perfect" fails to put out.

As such, IE still has 60% market share or so, speculatively because many businesses force their employees to use it, rather than look for better alternatives (also known as the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach).

At least that's my take on it :)

[Airfire]

K-Meleon (kmeleon.sourceforge.net/) when on my PC, Safari (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) when on my Mac.

[Vathir]

Loved Firefox when I started using tabbed browsing.

[Erika Redmark]

Firefox tabbed browsing is awesome. Camino's not bad, either–it's a lot like Firefox; I think it's made by the same people.

[Rei]

Firefox tabbed browsing is awesome. Camino's not bad, either–it's a lot like Firefox; I think it's made by the same people.

Windows Explorer has tabbed browsing too...

[Vertigo]

I use Internet Explorer because it just seems to work no matter one and I like the tabs better than the ones in Firefox. I switch back and forth between IE and Firefox so until then IE is what I use most of the time now.

[schwartzie]

I am using Fire Fox currently, it does use up abit of resources, but other than that, the plugins/ad on features are a nice touch.

Add the Cache Status extension--it allows you to clean up the "leak" (RAM cache and disk cache) with a click, and keep FF running faster.

[ssrprotege]

Firefox for the win, definitely!

I prefer firefox to internet explorer, partially because firefox is thought to be safer than IE.

I heard this from my friend: when IE and firefox were attacked with a back-door software, firefox was actually more secure. 77/100 for IE, 84/100 for firefox. Forgot which magazine it was.

Windows Explorer has tabbed browsing too...
I don't use IE 7 because it causes a conflict with my HP printer.

Yeah, I find a lot of things seem to work better on Firefox. Not to mention it's a tad safer than using IE when it comes to blocking ad ware etc.

[replicant]

I have always loved Firefox. I love the variety of extensions and they had me at the tabbing. I know Opera has a lot of nifty functionality, but I was not impressed by how much it would always crash on me. If there were no Firefox, I would use Opera.

[SongofSeptember]

IE 7. I'd use Firefox if it didn't make my computer sooooooooo increeeeeeedibly sloooooooooooow, but since it does, IE's fine, as long as it's not anything before 7. (I cannot stand the fact that there are NO TABS.)

[AutisticCuckoo]

Opera on GNU/Linux at home.
Opera on Windows XP at the office.
Opera Mini on my mobile phone.

I think there's a pattern here. :)

[schwartzie]

You computer should not be slow w FF. Trydiagnosing the problem by uninstalling each extension. there are some that are known to cause problems/ slowdown.

[Ool]

Opera, because it has the best webpage zoom function that I know of. Firefox’s sucks by comparison, which is why I’ve never felt tempted to switch…

Opera both at home and at work, both under WinXP and Linux…

[Zadoc]

I was on Firefox until IE7 came out... and then I went back to Firefox, and now I use IE7 Pro.

[hauteur]

I used IE6, but switched to Firefox because I liked the tabs. I switched back to IE7 because I like the UI a little better than FF. Plus, a lot of sites still use ActiveX controls that don't work with FF - like my webmail.

[Orion79]

I switched from IE7 to Firefox a few months ago when I heard IE7 was full of security holes that would allow hackers to steal your passwords.
After I made the switch I found myself wishing that I started using Firefox a long time ago.

Has anyone tried IE8 yet?

[Storm]

I use Firefox because it has an add-on that allows you to block time-wasting sites during specified times or for specified time limits.

But now that I'm using it, I love it for all sorts of other reasons. (spell check, ad-blocker, all around cleaner look)

[RBM]

I have always tried to avoid MS products, particularly browsers as soon as possible, since by initial MS NT admin training in the mid '90's.

I use FF 2.0.0.17 on my 2 desktops, and FF 3.0 on my laptop. I really appreciate the add-ons for FF.

[AnotherNormal]

Opera

[zibber]

Firefox on Unbuntu. Despite the stupid flash bug ("movie not loaded") that I still haven't fixed.

[altoid]

Firefox right now. Occasionally Safari.

[Undead Bonzi]

Google Chrome

Very clean interface, have not played much with the other options yet.

[Harry321]

Opera 10 alpha

[AnotherNormal]

Trying Chrome right now for the first time.

[Autoptic]

Firefox on Unbuntu. Despite the stupid flash bug ("movie not loaded") that I still haven't fixed.

Ditto.

[DewFuel]

IE8 / chrome.... just testing them out.

Chrome seems to crash a lot.

[LoquaciousNinja]

Firefox. All the nifty tabs and gadgety things and plug-ins make it hard to even think there was a choice in the first place.

[boldbidder]

Using Chrome at present. Clean simple interface and it renders pages markedly faster than any other browser. Not all sites play nicely with it yet though, although that has been improving over the last few months.

[Synchronicity]

I avoided using Firefox for a long time because it had a number of technical issues in the earlier days (e.g. memory leaks), but these days it's pretty much the most solid browser out there, so I use it most of the time. I'm also experimenting with Google Chrome, which is nice, but there's no Linux version yet :(

Before that I used IE6. I like IE6 not in spite of its security holes, but because of them. Years ago, when I was still resisting FF, having a somewhat insecure browser meant I did get the occasional spyware or other violation of my computer's software, but it also trained me to identify and eliminate it. The experience gained me quite a reputation in high school as someone who could fix slow computers, since 99% of the time it was because of some sort of spyware.

[AnotherNormal]

Day 2 with Chrome ... not a single crash.

Windows xp media center edition 2005

It is fast.

[ClydeB]

Firefox 98% of the time. There are two work related web sites that are IE centric so I use IE 6 for those.

[Bobert]

IE 7 or 8, IDK.

Which should I be using, IE or other?

[Imposcillator]

Firefox on all platforms, sometimes Safari on Mac OS X.
Tried Opera, Chrome and other alternatives (like Flock or Camino) but Firefox remains one of the best out there. Curious to see how the newest version of Safari's gonna be like though.

[Malle]

Used to use Firefox, but for some reason it started crashing as well as freezing on me repeatedly a few months ago which prompted me to start using Chrome instead.

Chrome feels faster and cleaner, though Firefox felt more customizable with all the add-ons (I especially miss mouse gestures).

[Freedom Geek]

I use firefox and chrome.

[Briggy]

Firefox is the main browser I use, but sometimes I need others for testing sites, so then it's usually IE6 or IE7. At the moment, I'm running Seamonkey.

[gestalt]

Firefox w/ DOM inspector, No Script, SQL Inject Me, Tamper Data, Web Developer, XSS Me plugins.

[Webbster]

Mostly Opera, but sometimes I use Firefox, and I'm now using IE again as version 8 is much improved.

[blckprljinju]

50% Safari
30% Opera
20% Firefox

Safari isn't as efficient as I wished it was, especially when I browse Korean websites, so I have to have both Opera and Firefox as back-ups. I wish I could install IE for Korean websites, but naturally, Microsoft doesn't make IE for Macs.

[Harmony]

Firefox for play, IE 7 for work. Some of my websites for work do not like Firefox.

[qsc]

Currently Firefox - though I will probably be switching to Chrome as soon as it comes out on Linux...

[idioteque]

Firefox mainly, sometimes Songbird.

[NovemberRain]

I'm a two-timer. IE8 and Chrome. 50-50.

The only problem in IE8 is the time it takes to open a new tab. By comparing both Chrome and IE8, you'll notice the difference. Otherwise, IE8 is GREAT. I'm used to the accelerators in IE8 as they are a great way of saving time...

Whether a browser will perform as well on your system or not depends on a lot of factors... So I guess... in a nutshell... it really depends on what you think is faster or better... Go try all the different browsers and decide for yourself which one of them is going to be your default browser... OR you can be a two-timer like me (maybe a three-timer).

[LPM]

I made the switch to Firefox, but have a question.

Firefox seems to really hog memory. I'll typically build up 200 mb RAM when I have it open for a couple hours when IE seems to never go above 80-100. Why is this?

Could be a memory leak.

[Night Runner]

Firefox version 3.0.9

[Synapse]

I use Firefox due to it's versatility. There are so many add-ons, and my favorites would be NoScript, Fasterfox, Ad-Block Plus and a couple others. With these, FF goes so much faster than Safari on my Mac and I like how clean the layout is (considering I am still using FF2 because I hate FF3's Mac layout).

And IE7+IE8 can burn in hell. I hate those two browsers with a passion.

Firefox has memory leaks. As a matter of fact, it is precisely because of them that I held off from using Firefox for so long. They're not a huge problem most of the time, but like you say, if you keep a browser open for long periods of time (as I am accustomed to doing), the memory starts to eat up.

However, Firefox seems to have done well with doing away with the leaks in recent releases. So far I haven't had many problems, though that doesn't mean they don't exist. All I know is I don't seem to get them anymore, possibly because of my settings, which are very different from the defaults. I also wouldn't notice them if they existed without actually checking the memory usage because I have an abundance of physical memory.

Easy solution is to simply close the browser and reopen it. Or use a different one.

[Winterstorm]

Firefox and sometimes Opera.

[Inky]

I'm really hoping Chrome comes out on OSX soon, for now I use Firefox. Any Opera users out there care to elaborate a bit on why you chose it over the others?

[Feral]

Made the switch to FF from IE around October when IE kept crashing. Then I started using it for this job. The Speed Dial addon is kickass. And I like the skin I have on it. The spell check is cool, as is the speed and functionality. I work in a call center doing web support, and a good majority of things can be fixed simply by switching to FF.

Now when I move to a new computer though, I have no idea what websites I need to have saved. I'm hooked on my speed dial.

Also, the dictionary tool tip addon is geektastic. You can highlight a word, and when you mouse over it, you get a tiny dictionary tool tip telling you the meaning of the word. I love it.

[aweeks007]

Firefox, with IETab for those apps where I need IE (Cognos :P boo)

[acyckowski]

FF and IE8 when I need to get on a non-FF-compliant website. I only upgraded to IE8 a week or so ago, so far it's less likely to jam up than IE7 was.

[SongofSeptember]

Firefox for the most part. Recently started using Chrome, it's not bad, either.

I have no excuses for the, what, four other browsers installed on my computer and just rotting away.

[JustMel]

I just downloaded IE8 and I hate it. A couple of people in class and the instructor told me to try Firefox so I'm going to try it and see how it works.

I've had every computer geek I know look at my computer and I have no viruses or other bugs and my settings are the way they're supposed to be but when I first open IE it takes between 15-20 seconds to load the homepage. never did before and when I'm switching between sites it's like that too and I don't get it and no one else does either.

[Ikari Shinji]

Switched to Firefox a while ago. Still can't believe I had been using IE for so long.

[gedreosan]

Mostly Firefox, some IE6 at work, and also Iceweasel on one laptop.

[Latro]

Firefox, other than for accessing Blackboard, which does not seem to support Firefox very well. I use IE...7 I think for that, might be IE6.

Firefox does have some terrible memory problems, though, I'll say that. I have 7 tabs open right now, 4 of which are forum posts and one of which is a purely text based article, and it is consuming 400 MB of memory. This is after having it "on" (I hibernate my computer generally instead of shutting it down) for quite a long time, admittedly, but still, 400+ MB is pretty absurd. Fortunately I have 4 GB of memory so I can afford that kind of thing; I'm only at 60% physical memory use right now, and I have a ridiculous number of other things sitting open (like 13 instances of MS word, for instance).

[SongofSeptember]

Ok, I have totally converted to Chrome. The thing about it is that it's so much CLEANER. I love minimalist technology. Having tons of buttons and toolbars just gets on my nerves, even when you disable/remove them.

[SeaCzar]

I use Firefox as well. As some have commented, it does not properly load certain web pages I need to access. Any ideas on this? Also, I do not know which version I am using. How can I update Firefox using the browser?

[JustMel]

I downloaded Firefox and have used it a few days, I just downloaded chrome and am trying it for a few days. So far I like the chrome because it is much simpler and doesn't have half a billion tool bars to manage like the others. I know you can turn them off but that's not the point. I like the streamlined look.

[Thirdie]

89% Firefox (I overuse the extensions)
10% Opera (when Firefox fails)
1% IE (Windows Update / all websites that work neither on Firefox nor on Opera - I count Firefox's IETab as IE XD)

On the process of trying Google Chrome.

[Nomadofthehills]

So far I like the chrome because it is much simpler and doesn't have half a billion tool bars to manage like the others. I know you can turn them off but that's not the point. I like the streamlined look.

That is absolutely the point. I use chrome as well, but because it is faster. Also, FF has only one more toolbar than Chrome...

[JustMel]

That is absolutely the point. I use chrome as well, but because it is faster. Also, FF has only one more toolbar than Chrome...

But you can add more to FF and take them away. I haven't figured out how to add any to Chrome except the bookmark one. I like not having a bunch of them.

[PHS Philip]

I'm keeping firefox over chrome for a view reasons. 1) Google STILL hasn't put out a mac version, and 90% of my internet use is on a mac, 2) my addons are <3 and I don't know how many are on/how good they are on chrome.

[zibber]

Firefox all the way.

I read about Google Chrome (in Gmail, of course), but really, do I want to use even more Google products?

[Synchronicity]

I read about Google Chrome (in Gmail, of course), but really, do I want to use even more Google products?

Yes, you do. You want to use ALL Google products. Do not attempt to resist (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.).

[Kathryn]

Currently, Safari and Firefox.

[LoneReaction]

Firefox with xMarks, Stumble Upon, foxy proxy, IE tab and adblock plus.

2-3 years ago I tried firefox.. and reverted back to IE 6. I did this many times in the course of a few months. o.o

[Silas]

Firefox with KwiClick and Foxytunes.

Sometimes I use Google Chrome as well.

[Charly]

I use firefox 3 at the moment 99% of the time.

[Nyctalop]

I tried Chrome a few weeks after it came out and was really impressed. However, until it will get better addons I'm sticking to FF. I'm really addicted to mouse gestures. I even try them in windows explorer.

[music221]

Firefox 3.0.10

[Solus]

Opera 9.64

[Antares]

Chrome right now. Never crashed on me, which is, in my humble opinion, always a very positive trait. IE is slow as a cow, Firefox crashes, Safari is too taxing. I still use Firefox on occasion, but it's 90% Chrome. It's clean, it's lightweight, it's intuitive and pretty much organized so that I can find what I need without trouble. I'm a devout Chrome convert, and there's nothing you can say or do to change my mind -whistles- :)

[ssrprotege]

Firefox. Started not to like it since it eats up too much memory. I tried to use Chrome, but it keeps popping out error messages.

[INTx]

firefox (linux) with cookie and script controls on :)

I didn't consider the open source process taking place as a reason for it's acclaim, I was mostly basing it off features and such lol. Another perspective I see. I guess to me, all open source should be how you said... so when it happens in that ideal sense, I am not impressed since that should be the norm in the first place.

[Shifter]

Firefox, because I loves my add-ons.

[MyWingHK]

Primary Firefox, Secondary (especially when speed is required) chrome - which is not on the list.

[schwartzie]

is anyone else having a problem with firefox 3.5.2 slowing to a crawl even when it is not eating great gobs of memory?

[gedreosan]

Primarily, I use FF as there are several add-ons that I find useful at work.

[SelfMadeBum]

I use Chrome.

[ranwayslo]

I voted Firefox, but I have been experimenting with Google Chrome of late.

[Kris]

Firefox for add-ons (primarily firebug), Chrome otherwise.

[srkelley]

Opera. Being able to sign into the browser and have everything but cookies downloaded to it is the greatest feature of any web browser ever. It integrates so much of what I se, and I did I mention signing into the browser? Right off of a fresh install and signing in I have everything. Bookmarks, history, speed dial, and sessions if I remember it right.

[gestalt]

SRWare IRON.

It's google Chrome, but without the privacy-intrusion (identification) 'features.'

I occasionally use the Torbutton/Firefox package when I have to get around a firewall at school to check my Fling.com account. /jk, but not really! :P

[everlost]

I use Firefox.

[errrzarrr]

I use Firefox. You forgot Google Chrome.

[dontlookback]

Safari :sombrero:

[Takeru]

Firefox... as much as I am using the Windows OS (specifically Vista.) I don't particularly like using IE. I'll only use IE if I am forced to to be able to get into a specific website.

[t3hrubikscube]

I have Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera.

Firefox is my #1 browser of choice and has been for the past several years. It's fast, clean, attractive, and full of awesome add-ons. I love it.

Internet Explorer is getting better again. It was great when it first came out, but it got really buggy, slow, and full of spyware in the early 2000s, but the newest version is an improvement.

Google Chrome is very fast and simple, but I don't really find it very appealing to look at. I use it from time to time but not all that often.

I downloaded Opera mostly just so I could try it. It was okay, but there's nothing about it that ever makes me want to use it.

Yeah, I got Firefox, IE, and Chrome also. I admit that Chrome is fast, the look and feel of it is just plain different for my taste though. That is the reason I rather stay with Firefox. Until they can make IE less... annoying (in my terms just invasive with everything you do on the internet.) I won't go to it because I really don't want a pop up screen asking for confirmation for every little detail.

My Computer Science professor - "Windows these days make it like they are holding their hands with you for everything. Are you sure you want to ____?"

[The Forsaken]

I use Internet Explorer, but I want to switch to Firefox. Now, it looks like I have to consider others. What is this Opera?

[wsx]

I primarily use Opera. I use Internet Explorer daily as well for its InPrivate browsing feature. I rarely use Firefox.
