Your favorite Internet Browser?

Firefox all the way. It is open source, the most versatile of them all with thousands of great extensions, and they fixed a lot of slowness and high memory usage over past year. I used to like Opera but it was totaly butchered when they migrated to new engine.

 

ghostery gets an A+ from me as well

 

If you're interested in browser security I highly recommend you check out some of the security add-ons available on Mozilla's website.

I myself use Firefox with a bunch of add-ons. I used to use Chrome, but it felt too simple. I like the utilitarian philosophy of Mozilla, it makes browsing very fast.

 

ROFL what "right" am I handing over to Amazon?

Conservative and use Chrome but use Yahoo search, it's my startup and new tab page because of the news page that opens up.

 

Hardly.

 

Your right to privacy. Have you read googles privacy policy in its entirety or not?

 

My right to privacy involves the government not Google. As I said I don't care that google shares my information it is what makes the internet work like I want it to. Check into a hotel google tells me what is interesting around me, where to eat. Open my browser and a sale is going on for a guitar I might like. About to finish my ebook and some suggestions as to what I might like pops up.

What are you so paranoid about? Yes I have read it if there is something in the Google privacy policy you want to refer to then do so not going to play twenty questions.

 

Im not paranoid. Paranoid would only be true if the data collection wasn't happening. Its right there in the privacy policy. Careful what you search Google can turn you into the authorities if they don't like whats in you sent box.
Also, what guitars do you play?

 

I prefer google chrome. I can, and have, signed into google from work and the page looked just like it does at home with identical favorites, etc. It's also a streamlined browser. Firefox became just too bloated for me. I used to be diehard firefox, now I'm diehard chrome.

 

It was Firefox. I'm very sad the CEO is so close minded and meddling that he donated money to interfere in the marital status of other people.

 

I used Firefox for years. Then, when I downloaded the latest version, it continually crashed on me.

So, not about to ever use IE - except in emergencies - I tried Opera. I've used it in the past, but had problems with it. Having re-learned how to use it, I actually find some sites easier and faster to browse now.

So, Opera got my vote.

 

My unconditional favorit IE
I like using him
IE it is comfortable and reasonably fast, reliable and stable

 

For me IE gets hung up too often. "not responding" and I have to do the "end program" about 20 times and then lose all the windows I had open.

I liked Chrome but now it does not have the smooth scrolling tabs and my finger got sore from using the mouse wheel.

I'm now using Firefox, and it's OK but has an inconvenient bookmark system. I have Lots of bookmarks.

 

I'm a web designer/developer who works on PCs at work and Macs at home, so I have to use all the browsers to one extent or another. My take:

IE: acceptable browser, terrible development tools, really annoying default behaviors. I hate programs that think they know what is best for me.

Firefox: Solid browser, great development tools (Firebug). Love the open-source aspect, although that has led to code-bloat in recent versions. Would be my hands-down favorite except that when Firebug is installed, it slows down a TON. So when I need top speed, I go elsewhere.

Chrome: Fast, decent development tools. But I find the interface *too* stripped down. Still, it's my go-to browser after Firefox.

Safari: I don't really get why the world needs both Safari and Chrome. They're basically the same browser (web-kit). I only use Safari for browser-testing.

From a development point of view, FF, Chrome and Safari are mostly interchangeable: what works on one will work on all, though there are some specific quirks around permissions (Safari is more picky about cross-domain cookies, Firefox is picky about cross-domain fonts) and how tetchy they are about Javascript (Chrome is the pickiest in that regard, I've found).

IE is a developer's nightmare. I spend more time making code work on the various flavors of IE than on all the other browsers combined. Microsoft should just get out of the browser business.

Safari on my iPhone 5c and my MacBook Pro.

 

Chrome is a good browser but I always feel like it's spying on me. Mozilla FTW.

 

Got a weird situation. Have Chrome downloaded as a program but can't seem to get it to boot! Any ideas?

 

I like Opera 12 and older the best of the potential among the choices, but my favorite is actually a small one called Qupzilla.

 

I use Comodo IceDragon with several of Mozilla's security addons. They are all compatible with Comodo IceDragon since Comdo IceDragon is based on Mozilla Firefox.

 

I like Safari.

 

Only for the Mac?
