Giselle Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 What do you use? My windows just auto-updated and I've got IE8 now, which loads much faster than IE7. I've heard good things about Firefox but never tried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Firefox and Opera are miles ahead of anything else. Been looking at Flock, but went back to Firefox. IE is the browser from hell. I pity anyone using it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Firefox all the way, pisses all over IE. As a web designer I fucking cant stand IE, ive to constantly put in unique dimensions etc into my CSS as IE reads the code different to every single other browser out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Been using Firefox for quite a few years now... never really questioned it as it works fine plus has some handy add ons. IE seems to be getting better though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 IE is like a giant sieve, letting all the shit in to your computer. Firefox is the winnar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Getting really pissed off by all of the memory leaks in Firefox. It really needs sorting out, that and a bit of multi-threading like in Chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Diehard Firefox user, but I think the new Opera could be fucking sweet. Thumbnail tabs are a great idea now that most of us have the screen real estate to give up to them: (shitty apple site, but shows the tabs as thumbnails feature) http://allthatsnew.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/watch-out-safari-new-opera-10-goes-turbo/ And it passes the Acid3 test 100/100 ... lots to like about it.

Mr. Snrub Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Firefox. Would use Chrome except the lack of a dropdown menu really irritates me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Safari But Firefox is pretty bo. People really need to know that IE is a shocking piece of software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 About 14,000 features (mainly the AWESOMEbar) as well as compliance with website design standards. i.e. Websites are alot more likely to look how they've been designed to look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 even i use firefox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giselle Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Just downloaded Firefox. I don't see what makes it so difference to IE, even when I downloaded about 10 add-ons. I just surf websites, by the way. The standard news + research for work etc., but I don't do complicated stuff like programming or mess around with designing etc. IE8 just feels like Firefox except you've got more one-click options too.

Yep, cant use other browsers now because of it, such a handy feature. Except that IE8 and Chrome both do the same thing now (Chrome also looks up Google searches, which you need an add-on to do on FF). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Switched to Firefox through recomendation a few years ago, haven't used IE since then so I dunno if it's any better now. Tried Opera and Chrome aswell, meh, still prefer Firefox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
