Topic: Web Browsers Posted: November 29 2010 at 15:49 |
I'm sure this was done a few years back, but web browsers have drastically changed in the past couple of years, with some new competitors entering the market and new web browsers are being made all the time. With this out of the way, I ask you progarchives: what web browser do you use? If you know what version you're using please post that, too. I use Opera as my primary browser. Right now I have Opera 10 and I'm trying out the Opera 11 beta (currently using Opera 11 beta), which is really great so far. Opera finally decided to add extensions and it's even faster than it already was. I'm also liking the tab stacking concept they introduced. I use Firefox 4 beta, too.

I don't like any of them, but I've been using Chrome lately.

When I had a PC I suffered IE for a long time until I discovered Firefox and then Chrome. Now with a Mac, I still prefer Chrome over Safari.

Chrome, easily. I kind of dislike the fact that all copied links result in hyperlinks, but other than that there have been no flaws.

I tried Chrome but didn't see any reason to switch to it, so I'm still using Firefox. I like all the add-ons such as FireFTP + the fact that it had tabbed browsing before IE7.

I tried Chrome to see how much I'd save in resources; there was a small difference in favour of Chrome, but not enough to make me ditch FF.
The amount of resouces consumed is my main issue with FF, but they are improving (especially with the creation of the "plugin container"). When I get a good computer this is not going to be a problem anymore (my 4 year old laptop has only 500M of RAM memory).

Foxy Browser. Interesting that the microsquash one is currently running zero. That is my number two.

wow, no IE users. That leads me to believe that FF will soon become a major security risk. Its what I use except for logging into work, Citrix periodically updates and the receipt only works with IE for awhile after.

I used to use IE but after many years of not bothering me it got too unstable on my laptop. I use Opera now, I didn't like Chrome and FF.
