web What browser do you use?

[DJPurplyPi3 22]

IE10 is actually very nice. I only use chrome becuase of the addons. If IE10 had the same add-ons I would be using it instead. It's very fast and uses less memory then Chrome does.

But...But firefox has a fox on it. Come on it's a fox that is on fire that's pretty cool. And yes i'm joking, chrome is good but i'm just used to firefox but i can see why it won.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

Sammy I love ya and all but your not good with computers xD Bing is a search engine xD LOL it is used in a program to search lol i love ya though

 

Crap, I was mixed up with Chrome. I know what search engines are, such as AOL, Google, etc. Idk why I said that...but then again, people do tend to also complain about search engines as well. Most complain about a lot of the engines. Like, Bing. I love Bing, but most people hate it. Just like a lot of people dislike google.

The red fox.

 

Started using it around the time it was booming thanks to the success of the viral ad campaign for Firefox 2:

 

 

And then Firefox 3 came and cemented itself into all of my computers. And then FF 3.5. HOLY SH*T.

The hype. Oh the hype. The fastest clapper ad.

...and the hype was well worth it, because FF 3.5 was the best browser for its time.

 

And then FF4, big improvement.

 

And then, with the increasing popularity of Chrome, Firefox switched to "rapid release" versions, and the ol' fox has been falling in web share ever since.

 

I just hope the grand 20th edition will be good.

 

MOZILLA FOREVER. THE BROWSER THAT KILLED THE BAD BLUE GIANT.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

Ok I honestly couldn't find a topic on this for some reason. Sorry if there already is one.

 

Alright, what browser do you use?

 

Go ahead and argue amongst yourselves which one is best.

[Crystallize 279]

Google Chrome. It's fast, reliable, simplistic and has a wide variety of themes I like. I also like Firefox though I find it opens quite slowly on my computer.

[silverreverb 129]

I use google chrome. I started using it when it was still fairly new. I got hooked on it because of its very minimalist style. there were some other details back then about it being much faster than other browsers but I think that's more even now.

 

over all the browser feels a lot more efficient than others so I've stuck with it since because of that

[SparklingSquirrels 21,332]

I like to use Google Chrome for my computer - it works very well for me. However, I use Safari when I'm on my iPod. It's the default and I never really bothered to download a new browser.

I read the title as "Bowser Battle" and was sorely disappointed to find that this was not, in fact, a Super Mario thread.

Bowser is best Browser.



(Also, there is a thread for this somewhere. If I find it before a mod moves this, I'll post it here.)

[Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235]

I've always been a Firefox fan, although I have heard good things about Google Chrome, when I tried it I found it to be too cumbersome and it took up more memory when I was using it. Anything other than IE is really good though just because of all the security issues IE has had in the past.

I did the same thing though I was thinking about the song specifically: *

As for browsers, I usually just stick with google chrome. It seems effective enough and google is my main search engine which is convenient. 

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

My opinion - for what it's worth:

Google Chrome: I am amazed by the speed of this browser. It is very simplistic and stylish.
Firefox: I'm also a fan of Firefox. It is a little bulkier than Chrome in my opinion, but it is very fast and reliable.
Opera: When I used to be on a family computer I switched away from Firefox to Opera so I could have my own browser with my passwords saved and stuff. I wasn't impressed by the speed, and it crashed too often, but I loved the speed dial.
Safari: I dislike Safari because it feels really bulky and slow.
IE: Do I really need to say anything here?

Aw crap. I couldn't find it anywhere here, in the lounge, or in media discussion.

I stick with chrome, It's fast and efficient for me. Especially after coming from the abyss that was IE on my old computer. I like the themes and settings that come with the browser also. I haven't really tried firefox so I can't really make a comparison between the two

Google Chrome because my security will only tell me good and bad sites on it.It is also quite a fast internet browser and i like being able to get themes for it.

[SCS 7,535]

I vote Google Chrome. Not only is it fast, but I love its modern, minimalist appearance. It is the most visually appealing to me out of all of the internet browsers I have seen so far. 

[BlueScouti 31]

I've always used chrome but recently have been switching over to firefox periodically. Though, I only do this when youtube fails to load and I ragequit my browser Chrome has the best UI in my opinion, and provides the sleekest smoothest experience.

[~Luminiferous Ether~ 107]

I've always preferred Mozilla Firefox, it seems to have just what I need and it's only crashed a few times, which I find good.

 

Btw, Netscape Navigator is a close second.

I use chrome. I just think it's fast and reliable compared to some of the other browsers and also it allows me to run the Adblock and Ponyhoof extensions, which is always a plus!

Adblock runs in Firefox as well as many other scripts/extensions that people think are Chrome-specific. Though, what is Ponyhoof? Don't think I've ever heard of it before

[Dreadmallon 353]

   I use Mozilla Firefox, because I haven't tried Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer had put my computer into a laggy coma with over 5,000 viruses!

 

   Seriously, I had to open 10+ tabs to get it to even start working! "Connecting to server, connecting to server, connecting to server..." It was, of course, still incredibly slow. It got fixed, however, and I started using Firefox.

With all due respect, if your browser (even if it is internet explorer) acts like that, it's probably because you've downloaded something nasty and your PC needs cleaning up. You should look into it :s

   It was probably when I was playing ROBLOX, because that's the only program that can give out viruses that I stopped using after I got Firefox. Nonetheless, I had gotten rid of ROBLOX and cleaned the supposed viruses coming from it months before the change.

Hmm, simply by uninstalling? You should probably look into a PC cleanup and a disk defrag while you're at it, it'll make everything a whole lot snappier. Though, I agree with your original point, IE is clunky and difficult to use compared to FF and Chrome.
