Title: Your Browser of Choice?
Post by: TheRaven on September 12, 2013, 03:40:59 AM
So which browser do you use the most and why? I currently use Firefox since I find that it's easier to scroll down on pages, plus Youtube doesn't skip videos when a page is loading unlike in Chrome. :V Though sometimes I find myself using Chrome from time to time but meh.

I use all three on a regular basis (IE, Firefox & Chrome) but that's cause I'm constantly testing out new website designs and a lot of stuff that Firefox and Chrome can do, IE can't cause it sucks.



My main browser is Firefox though. I think the addons are of a higher quantity and quality than Chrome's.

Chrome. I don't care for add ons, plus Chrome is fast and gets the job done with as minimal crap as possible.

Chrome. It is less bloated than Firefox (unless you have around thirty+ tabs up, but Firefox is worse at that number) but I would honestly still use Firefox over any browser that is not Chrome.

I mainly stick with Firefox as it's the best for website development. I'd probably switch to Chrome in a heartbeat if it had better debugging tools. :)

I use Firefox most of the time. Only switch to Google Chrome if something happen to my Firefox.

I generally use Google Chrome. I used to use the Internet Explorer a lot, but when I realized that my computer ran a lot faster with Google Chrome, I made the switch and I haven't regretted it.

I agree Chrome is pretty nifty but I've gotten too used to Firefox.  :beckveryhappy

To be honest, I don't dislike IE9 that much, although that isn't hard to accomplish considering IE6, 7, and 8 all sucked.

IE10 is a massive upgrade. Shame it's still as slow as ever though. Still, it nearly renders anything I can throw at it unlike IE9, IE8, etc. :becklaughing

I use Chrome. The hover zoom add-on is amazing. Saves a lot of time too.



I've also got Android devices so I can easily sync up my bookmarks and can dive into webpages I have on other devices with ease but that's just Chrome. It's great to download Chrome on the iPod Touch because Safari is garbage.

Chrome. I noticed how sluggish Firefox is compared to Chrome. As for Explorer... Yuck. Although, Firefox has more helpful things than Chrome.

Well, I usually use Apple products like iPad, iPhone and iMac, that's why Safari is my default browser. However, I have to admit that it has many innovative and useful features. In addition, it is fast and very user-friendly. I am looking forward to downloading iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite because the company announced several interesting changes that I want to see.

I have also used Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer but I don't think that they can satisfy my needs. What are my needs? Stability, security and of course the fast response time.

I used to be a Firefox fan until a few years ago when one day it was acting up for me, so I decided to try out Chrome. I found myself refusing to use Firefox and IE unless it was an emergency simply because of the speed of Chrome, and how everything worked. IE and Firefox are just too clunky, and don't offer the functionality that Chrome has, such as the different plugins I use, and also the overall feel of it. :)

I mainly use FireFox as Chrome has failed me way to often in the past.  I also love the UI FF offers as well as some of the themes available. Chrome is my second choice even though it's really bad a lot of the times.

I prefer Chrome. It's simple, sleek, and easy to manage. I love it! :D

1. Firefox and all its derivatives (Tor, Opera, et cetera).

2. Chrome and all its derivatvies (Chromium, et cetera).


All others are an exercise in futility.
