Browsers

I am a current user of Chrome, but this is simply out of general necessity. On my previous attempts, it would appear that both Firefox, and eventually, Opera, began to despise my existence for whatever reason and I was to escape as a refugee to the lands of Google. The browser itself is quite useful in general - indeed, I have actually decided to customize it to an extent, unlike my previous two browsers.

 

I use Safari. I don't have a Mac, but hey, Safari works awesome either way. Because yeah, I have used it on a Mac, it isn't that much different.

 

I think I've gone through all of the browsers and now I'm probably going to stick with Chrome. I just like how it doesn't appear clogged up with a bunch of toolbars, etc. Even when I get my Macbook Pro in a couple of weeks I might use Safari just because it's part of the Mac but I will probably just change back to Chrome.

 

I use both Chrome\Chromium and Firefox.

Chrome really is faster than anything else I've tried. I'm learning JavaScript programming, and there's a real noticeable difference in performance when I run my scripts in Chrome than other browsers. Developer tools that come default in Chrome are really helpful. The upcoming Netflix plugin will finally let Linux users such as myself watch Netflix on our computers (I'm currently only able to stream Netflix through a borrowed Wii).

Firefox is so customizable and plugin rich, it's hard to leave it for something else, which is why I still use it everyday. Plugins as well as the default features such as being able to toggle which toolbars are shown, change placement, visibility and size of icons, tab grouping, and the web console are the reasons why I use Firefox as my main browser.

I have also tried Opera for the fist time a couple months ago. Although it has many features, such as Opera's portal homepage which I think is awesome, I kind of felt most of it was bloatware. A couple of my favorite websites simply won't render at all, not incorrectly. Sometimes I would get crashes that seem random, and some websites would annoyingly suggest that I update to a more recent/better browser. I was dissatisfied with Opera after about a week of use, but I haven't given up on it. I will probably download and install it again to give it another try next time they update their release.

I only use Linux at home so no Internet Explorer or Safari for me.

 

I run Firefox. I tried Chrome but it would crash every time I minimized it. I know this isn't normal but it wasn't worth me figuring it out just to try a new browser.

IE I don't like because microsoft had a monopoly mentality with it since they dominate the computer market and it really hindered what it is capable of (as proved here recently with canned replies).

 

I have come to hate Internet Explorer.

At least IE8, which my final website project for my JavaScript class had to be presented. Maybe I should be angry at my professor for not assigning a browser that adheres to W3C standards, or at least one that works on more than one type of OS. Valid JavaScript code that I wrote that works perfectly well in other browsers simply did not work in IE. Spent hours rewriting my code or writing workarounds for IE8.

Firefox/Chrome gave me no problems.

 

I used to use Safari, and really liked it too, but it just suddenly started working really slowly. So I started using Firefox which is cool too~

 

I use Rockmelt. It's very similar to Chrome but it also has epic features like the Chat bar on the side, it connects to your fb account even though you're not on Facebook. and etc.
