    What internet browser do you use?

    I myself find Google Chrome to work perfectly for me. It takes up very little space of your screen, and it runs smoothly. Haven't had too many problems with it yet.

    What program do you use, and why? How long have you used this one? Have you ever considered changing?

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I used to use Safari all the time, but I use Firefox now because it has No Script. I don't even touch Internet Explorer, every time I use it there's nothing but problems.

    I haven't really thought about using anything else.

    I'm thinking about creating a hybrid. A dolphin-monkey. Half dolphin, half monkey. Do you think it's possible?
    I was thinking that since I'm artificially creating it, I'll create it with rocket fuel instead of blood, and thus it will be able to fly, using the dolphin's dorsal fins as wings. And from the air, it will look down upon us all and protect us against sharks, and search for bananas.

    I use google because it uses less memory than Firefox, and is faster. However, I like Firefox's noscript and applications.

    Chrome seems to be faster indeed.

    What exactly is No Script?

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    To be honest I use IE at home, well that and Firefox. I use IE for trusted sites and Firefox for all others and secured sites (such as banking access).

    At work I have completely switched over the Firefox.

    After adding in a few custom add ons with FF I think I am starting to prefer FF over any others. My connection is fast enough at home that loading issues are not a problem for me.

    FF seems to be a little more user friendly and I like how you can skin it. There are a few down falls to it but I don't feel like getting into that tonight.

    Firefox.

    Used to just use IE, but then I got concerned over my computer's safety and stuff, and decided to switch. I've been using it for a few months now (maybe 3 or so...). I don't think I'll be switching to anything else, because Firefox seems to work just fine for me.

    Opera.
    Marketshare's so small no-one really seems to specifically target it, it has plugins that can block ads/javascript etc, seems to pioneer features before they're introduced to Firefox half the time, is the fastest browser I've used and uses less system resources than both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I doubt I'll be changing browsers any time soon.

    Google Chrome I'm somewhat wary about due to hearing much of it's code is open source which gives anyone with a malicious intent a little leg up with their ideas.

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I use the ol' IE because I have yet to download Chrome or Firefox. So far I've gotten nothing malicious, but then again I haven't done a whole lot with this computer involving important things like I.D. I rarely buy things on the interweb, so I'm good. the worst thing that happens is once every few days Norton Anit-Virus tries to install itself because it thinks the cookies on my computer are hazardous (tracker cookies like Youtube's and Gmail's)
    I don't even use Norton!

    *I'm now a FireFox user and proud! Much faster and less laggy

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I've been using Firefox for years and intend to keep doing so. My system has more than enough resources to run it with plenty to spare, even when I've got multiple windows and tabs open. NoScript is awesome, as is Adblock Plus and WOT when it comes to computer security. I use Internet Explorer for Microsoft Updates and for my employee insurance, solely because that is the only browser that will work for these two things.

    Just because you haven't gotten anything malicious yet, there's no reason to keep putting yourself at risk. You don't even have to be visiting a known malicious site, there could be bad or malicious code in anything, including banner ads. Don't even have to click anything, either. Malware does more than just steal your ID, it can also seriously mess up your computer and could unknowingly be passed on to your friends and family via email, messengers, etc.

    Anyways, aside from the security features I love all the add-ons and such. I don't have a ton of them, I just add or remove them now and then based on my usage. I'm not sure about the personas yet though, many of the ones I've been interested in just weren't designed well. I suspect they'll improve quite a bit with time so I haven't discounted them out of hand.

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I have been using Firefox for quite some time. It is faster and much more reliable than IE.

    In high school we used to use Safari. Awful browser. It was slow running, and caused multiple problems for our school server. So me, and a few others switched the server over to Firefox. Awesome browser.

    Nice comparison.

    This confirms my expectations. No wonder IE is getting less popular.

    Google Chrome is even better than I thought. I use it. That must mean I am awesome.

    I use Firefox.

    I can't staaaand IE. For some reason it always seemed to load slower, even on the same internet connection. I just looked at the link Chad posted and yeah, now it makes sense as to why I thought that.

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I have all popular browsers installed on my computer, primarily because I make sure that any web page I make is compatible with most browsers.

    I normally use Opera to browse the internet. It has the best User Interface and provides the best representation of a webpage in my opinion. Sometimes I do face compatibility problems but only with websites that excessively use javascript. On the whole it's okay, I'm really satisfied with the speed and its features.

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    I have four browsers that are installed on my computer: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome.

    I used to use Mozilla a lot but I have recently been using Google Chrome the most, idk I just like how it is presented and looks on screen. But Mozilla is a close second.

    Firefox

    I used to use IE but it gave me nothing but drama, so I was practically forced to change to Firefox by a pal, and I've used it ever since. I don't liek change though, so it took a while to convince me, even if IE WAS being a shit

    Chrome


    Used to use Firefox back when it was still Firebird (or whatever it was.... can't remember now) and in beta. I donated to the company, bought their t-shirts, etc.... but Chrome just works so much better that I don't want to go back. It's faster, easier, lets me kill single tabs, lets me pull out single tabs without reloading the page (this is because each tab is an individual process under Windows) and is just faster and sleeker.

    I used google chrome for awhile but since my computer was pretty low-tech it only slowed me down.

    I use the good-ole-fashion internet explorer now.

    I use Safari.
    I loved Google chrome but my Svchost stopped working correctly and now Google chrome won't let me open it... O.o

    Plus, from what I understand, it takes less Page memory than the others.

    Opera FTW.

    Since it's so minimalistic in terms of features and marketshare, only once in a blue moon am I going to find exploits for it.

    Chrome is my second choice, which I only use when a site won't render on Opera.

    Re: What internet browser do you use?

    Firefox is much safer to use for me. I don't use any other browser (occasionally IE), and I don't want to download another browser, such as Google Chrome--there's enough programs I use, I don't need any more! x_x

    I wish the memory usage would be back the way it used to be, I don't like how it's always the number one program on my Task Manager when I arrange it by memory usage. It also has a slow start-up, but the safety it provides is worth it.

    I've never tried any of the other browsers except for Chrome and I didn't really like it that much so I use Internet explorer instead. If I'm on my iPod then I use the default browser Safari.
