What browser do you use?

Postby **drill** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:04 pm

So, I like to experiment with different browsers, and I right now I'm trying out Comodo Dragon (Chromium based browser).

I was just wondering what browser everyone else uses.

Firefox, primarily because I can get vertical tabs with an extension, and also because when the browser restarts it doesn't load old tabs until you click on them. I'm a real tabbing beast (current tab count: 364, highest recorded: 1821), so these features are a must for me. Plus I kind of like Mozilla as a company. They're always pushing for a free and open web.

Firefox; changed to it from IE years ago, it was cleaner faster and more stable. It's still stable but it's not quite as clean as it was (partially my fault), an it allows me to run my little "Blocktoberfest" of addons.

For secondary browsers I have IE, Dragon(chrome), and Ice Dragon(firefox), which I use from time to time to make sure I'm not screwing things up by not properly white listing a page's shinnies.

@Midori Wow, that's crazy man I rarely get up above the 20-50 range for active tabs. On the other hand I do have over 500 items in Read it Later Pocket (an addon to store tabs to read later) and over 100 in Bamboo (feed manager).

What's you opinion on Shumway?

Safari. I'm an Apple junkie and Safari just works well for me since its preinstalled and syncs between all my devices.

IE. Yus you heard me. >_>

I use Explorer.

It just seems the best to me.

Firefox (either "real" Firefox or TenFourFox). I don't trust Google Chrome, and I use an old Power Mac at my house anyway.

Internet Explorer. I'm actually surprised at how many use this, considering how much negativity I've heard about it. Honestly, I don't prefer it over anything else, I'm just too lazy to try other stuff. Though I do genuinely dislike Chrome. I don't like the feel of it or how it runs.
Atm, however, IE is being weird on me, so I might start experimenting with other stuff.

IE's improved a lot from the bad old days, I must admit.

Maybe MS is having a waking, perhaps acute, moment of sanity?

Firefox! I like it's addons, it feels safer to me for web-browsing, and it's just what I've been using for a long time now, so I'm just kinda used to it. Oh! And foxes are cute!

IE is beating Chrome Crazyness!! I still mostly use IE.
I never understood you Firefox people, clicking on that sketchy little fox that looks like a virus waiting to happen buttt.....then I used Linux, and I can safely say my virtual box is virus free

If only you knew the power....of the FOSS side (Free & Open Source Software)!

This makes me sad I WANT TO KNOW THE POWER! I'm still a total noob in the computer world, but I'm currently working that.

Just happened to stumble across another chromium based browser called Baidu. So far, I really like it, especially since it pops out youtube videos and even downloads them as built in features.

I used to use Internet Explorer but now I use Firefox.

Opera 12 (the old school one which hasn't had updates in a while). It has all the good features that aren't implemented in Opera Next yet.... the features that actually make it Opera, rather than Chrome.
I'm a bit concerned with the Opera company - they haven't updated version 12 in 7 or 8 months, and I don't know if they do plan to have any further updates. This is sad, because it sometimes crashes repeatably. They haven't given any details about their roadmap for the Chromium/Blink Next version, and specifically the time frame for when they'll implement all the good features which are currently missing.

Um, wow... I like having a lot of tabs too, but I feel a bit dirty having more than 100 open, and everyone seems stunned that I have more than 20 open. I'm surprised Firefox handles that many. I haven't generally found Firefox or Chrome to handle lots of tabs as well as Opera (in resources), as well as being easier to manage for the user in Opera.. but I haven't explored Firefox extensions very far.
