Whats your fav internet browser

ok, so it's computer software not hardware, but I wanted to see how us computer gamers/nerds who know wtf we're doing with computers compare to the general population usage stats. As you probabl know IE wins out in the real world, but I'm guessing serious users are gonna side with chrome/FF, anyway answer the poll and commet as you like.


and fyi I use Chrome, used to use IE, never like Firefox.

wish we could add more answers to the polls.

I used Firefox for years, switched over to Chrome.

Both are the same really, except Chromes adblock plus is retarded.

When I am not working, I mostly use Aurora (which is an experiemental build of Firefox). If I need to get work done then I stick to regular Firefox.

Why is Opera grouped with 'other'!? :evil: *heapsmad*C_Rule

:lol:

Yeah. If anything, Safari should be with "other". Only Apple fanboys use it. Even "normal" Mac users I know use Firefox or Chrome.

I used Chrome for awhile but then switched to Firefox. I have Opera as well but haven't really used it much

I use safari because it feels like its the most native for the mac osx 10.7 Lion operating system.

I use Internet Explorer, and always have. Does the job.

Chrome

I used firefox for quite a while, and really dug it. I've been using chrome for a long time now, though, and I love it.

Using firefox with adblocker plus. Tried Chrome many atime, but dont like the fact you cannot delete temp files etc on exit. And all the personalised ads!

Firefox and chrome are level 14:14 atm :o

I pick firefox for addons.

Firefox, because it's not M$. Gave Chrome a chance, too, but I realized I had to enable "private session" or whatever it's called every time I run the program. These guys are obsessed with other people's privacy. No wait. They're not, they're obsessed with money.

FF all the wayIantheone

I know what they mean, I'm the same. Nothing dodgy but I dont want other people knowing which sites i visit all the time.

You can get around the privacy by adding -incognito to the end of the shortcut command, but why should we have to do that! You block third party cookies, and they still get in somehow!

It's a matter of principal. They turned into a major player thanks to their internet search engine, and now they think it's theirs to decide what search results should I get based on my personal preferences. That's just not right.

Mozilla is definitely better than Google when it comes to privacy. I personally cannot run a browser backed by a advertising corporation as my main browser.

Firefox is great and there are options you can get to further increase your privacy. No-script is awesome, it increases privacy and security.

so looks like Firefox/Chrome are indeed most popular among us nerds

I use Internet Explorer, and always have. Does the job.

Used to use firefox. THen chrome came out. Bounced back and forth a bit. But now chrome is my main browser. Firefox just crashes and freezes to much for me

For the most part I have also, used IE for years..Though it is slower than the other 2 most popular browsers and it has given me problems from time to time, I still continue to use it because I have for so long.....I guess I really like the ieSpell check feature :P

I've used Opera way back when and have used FF and GC on and off over the years also, but always seem to come back to IE. I think if I were to switch over to another browser again (which I have been thinking about for a while now), it would be back to FF. I seemed to have been the most comfortable with that. GC was very fast indeed but there was just something that was a bit awkward about it to me and FF seemed a bit easier to customize to ones liking over GC.

My wife just switched back over to FF from IE on her PC. It became corrupted and was really giving her problems, so instead of un-installing IE and reinstalling it again to try and correct the problem, I just suggested that she move over to FF .... She is much happier now.

But I will still stay with IE for the time being, like the guys above me say...it does the job.

Firefox.....its just so easy to customise and pretty safe to use. Hell I am lucky to get one malware/spyware result when I bother to run spybot and the like.

Firefox

Firefox all the way. Firefox 3.6 to be correct. the fastest browser there is.

adblock + noscript = best browsing.

I don't see whats so great about chrome.

Internet explorer sucked in the past, no way I will go back.

Opera Mobile rules, Opera on PC is average.

Safari = lol.

Google Chrome + AdBlock and ScrewAds (Blocks Youtube Ads) extensions

idk if AdBlock blocks YT ads, but I installed the ScrewAds extension before the AdBlock extension so I just kept both and I love it!

I use Chrome. I like Firefox it crashes way too much for me. Strangely, Aurora runs much better than standard Firefox, however it's still not as stable as Chrome.

chrome

Firefox because

1. I like having a separate search bar.

2. I am really used to having a dropdown list of most visited sites instead of writing the first letter in the address bar and entering.

3. Firefox's ad-blocker is superior.

4. Chrome sometimes fails to load images on a page.

IE also has features 1,2 & 3 ...though I do think FF's add- blocked is better and FF is over all a better browser than IE.

As I said I have never tried to see if those things can be modified so excuse me if they can be, I am just going by the default interface.

Firefox. I used Chrome for a bit but I missed many of my favorite add-ons. I can't live without site launcher. I might try out Chrome again some day though.

Used to be a huge Firefox guy. Would defend it like some of the worst console gaming fanboy defend their favorite company lol

Been using Chrome since late 09. Firefox fell off after the release of 4.0
