Ascertion Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Which is your favorite, and why? I've been using Chrome for awhile and while I do love it, I always want to try something new so I recently switched to Firefox. Both have theirs ups and downs but I do enjoy using them both.

rjw Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I use Chrome and love the fact that it now shows you one which tab audio is being played from. I found it to be such a pain point to have to track down a tab playing some silly AD distracting me from what I was reading. I also am a fan of the automatic updates an inclusion of Flash Player (even though it tends not to be fully stable at times with multiple tabs). Just one less crap I have to download when I setup a new PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4icg Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Been using IE11 on Win 8.1 Pro 64bit and see no reason to try anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have theirs ups and downs but I do enjoy using them both. i' not a fan of FF because they are still stuck on a single threaded execution model. With FF when i open my daily 44 tabs it takes much much longer than chrome or even IE who both use MT engines. I can open all 44 tabs in chrome in less than 45 seconds. It takes 3 minutes or more for FF to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centermedic Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Been using Chrome almost exclusively for a couple of years now. I keep IE as a backup as not every web site is compatible with Chrome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travismheim Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've been using IE11 for a while now. I tried Chrome but it didn't seem to be much of an improvement so I went back to IE. Chrome syncing with android was neat at first until I realized I don't use the web browser on my mobile devices much when most app's work a lot better.

twospirits Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 At home its Chrome unless I need to go tot he Sprint site which works better in IE for some reason. At Work, its mostly IE on the work pcs and on the laptop its Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknowitall526 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My mother uses IE10 on her laptop, and I had to do something for her the other day and couldn't believe how "slow" it was! Google Chrome just seems so much speedier. I once had a 20-minute discussion with my grandparents about the difference between Google Chrome, the browser, and the website Google.com. They thought they were the same thing ... oy vey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt7701 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I use Seamonkey because it is like the old Mozilla and I only use IE for websites that do not support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I use Chrome on the PC and Firefox on the phone. I have tried Chrome a number of times on the phone and really try to like it but it just doesn't feel right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I use everything. I watch YouTube videos on IE, Opera Next for most day to day things, FIreFox for other daily things and Chrome for, well, nothing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondays In Flames Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Chrome. It's simple, and clean. I dislike the clutter on FF, and IE is very slow and not visually appealing. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chat works a tiny bit better with IE as well as their community forums. Its basically the only site that just acts weird on my Chrome. Other than that i wouldn't touch IE at all,( well except for work stuff, forced by the IT folks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREND Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Firefox for everything, IE on the tablet. Firefox has just been the goto browser for me with no real issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZorbatron Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Opera. It handles multiple tabs better than any other browser I have used. The only annoyance is that you often have to fake your user agent to identify as Internet Explorer because a lot of stupid web designers check for Opera and either put up a message or redirect you. It has this feature built in, probably because old versions (Before 8) of Opera were a little off compatibility wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZorbatron Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Opera Next or old school v12? 12. Opera Next is the test version of their standard Chromium-based Opera. There are actually 3 versions currently distributed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
