[ImmortalTecz]

So i made this again, now including Opera :)

Vote in the poll and discuss, i voted for Firefox because that's what i'm using, DUUURH!

[Sinestro]

Chrome > all others.

Except the "password.txt" file it creates full of unhashed accounts/passwords.

[Norroar]

Iron.

[h4x2]

AOL Desktop 10.1, duh

[ImmortalTecz]

Iron.

Explain please? Iron?

[Kros]

Transitioned from Firefox to Chrome awhile back. Haven't looked back.

[ImmortalTecz]

Someone is using Internet Explorer :O

[Darkstrand]

Burn the witch

[Voulture]

Iron is a bit fixed Chrome believe. Old fan of Opera. Tried firefox year or more ago, do not wanted. Chrome looks awful to me.

[ImmortalTecz]

never heard of it, but i bit check it out

[OTRobin]

Also, voted for Firefox because I use it on my desktop, although I use Chrome on my laptop.

[Fiesta]

Netscape.

It's old school, yo.

[RogerDodger]

Runescape Browser

All the cool kids are doin it

[Marylinn]

Runescape has a browser...? Oh god.

[Hash]

speeddial is amazing when you get used to it

ctrl+t ctrl+# and bam you have offtopic or facebook or google or email or whatever up like that

[Altazor]

I use IE, I think that the Firefox propaganda is 50-50 true, there are a lot of sites that are not compatible (i.e. banks, gov sites, wherever MS can put some "help" into), and also it has become slower in the lastest releases since it wastes too much memory (a mystery).

Chrome is also good but I discarded it for the same reason, memory.

That's where the money it's at :blac:

i have never seen a site in ages that couldn't be used on firefox. even the sites where they tell you only IE works

^this. I occasionally have issues with compatibility in Chrome, but never have I had any troubles with Firefox.

[Manhim]

I'm a web developer and most of my problems are with Firefox and Internet Explorer, never had a problem with Chrome.

Internet Explorer: Poor margin/padding behavior
Firefox: Sometimes have pseudo-random repeating display errors that do not happens in any other browsers for some specific CSS, XHTML and AJAX websites. When it happens I usually need to use a gross hack or add more div layers.

I'm on Google Chrome, and since there is extensions now it's even more awesome.

[Jayschwa]

Chrome. It's basically a necessity on my little netbook. Firefox on Linux has become such a pig :(

^this is so true ! :D

Opening a ytmnd on Chrome pretty much crashes my Chrome every time. Any suggestions? (Aside from the obvious "don't open them.")

Buy a better PC?

This bug never happened to me, although I'm using the dev channel.

[Hash]

ytmnd is like the industrial rust belt of the internet

[tedcat]

Safari on OSX, when on widndows, definitely Firefox.

[Pho3n1x]

Firefox all the way

I use Firefox cause I'm lovin my add-on theme atm.
But performance wise, I gotta say Chrome. Dunno, it starts up faster. :>

[cute]

firefox, no addons
i only use it because my dad installed it on my computer
he also installed chrome but it confuses me too much

[ImmortalTecz]

no addons on firefox, son i am dissapointed

Flash in any version of IE makes me sad too.

I just dont understand why IE as a browser is still out there, everyone I know who use's it is only doing it by default.

[ImmortalTecz]

i dont understand it
addons are too complex for my tiny female brain
well having firefox without addons, is like having chips without ketchup!

[OTBatman]

firefox is superior

[cute]

usually i dont have ketchup with my chips

[Altazor]

I had to do some paperwork for my college application via internet, and I could do it only on IE, not kidding (or else Firfox with ie tab addon) but why having 2 explorers, since IE seems very tough (8 of course)

[Kaee]

Opera =]

[ImmortalTecz]

Never tried Opera, does it have addons or any nice features?

[Jayschwa]

Opera basically has enough features that you don't need any add-ons (and it still manages to be lighter-weight than most other browsers). Despite only having a sliver of market share, I think Opera was the best browser for quite a long time. It has only been within the past few years that browsers like Firefox and Chrome have matched (or surpassed) it.

Well, maybye people should change to firefox and chrome instead now...

[NrFive]

Actually I use several

At work I HAVE to use IE.
At home I use Firefox
My mobile has Safari (iPhone)

Have to try Chrome, but keep postponing it somehow...

[MagicCake]

we talking crisps here or fries, you forget some of us are amerifags.

Someone voted netscape, i say we lynch him and strip his computer for parts then burn the hard drive :pyro:

[ImmortalTecz]

^hahaha

[ImmortalTecz]

^sure you are!

[jay`t]

opera is my favorite browser, but there was some reason i stopped using it

quakelive maybe?

[ImmortalTecz]

aye, what is quakelive?

[Dark_Kevin]

Lynx.

[Q_efx]

I use Firefox for deveolping/ theming of sites.

I would like to use chrome / Iron ( Should be on list too *g* iron is the chrome clone but without the: I know where you are feeling)

But I dont know any nice addons for chrome/ iron :/

[Sinestro]

What addons do you need in chrome?

[Q_efx]

Something like firebug ^^

[ImmortalTecz]

do you got Firebug on Chrome, lol Copy+Paste

[Losix]

Chrome. Though I like Firefox more but,
Firefox got some wierd memory leaks. If you keep windows open for some time the memory usage for firefox will go over 1gb...

[jay`t]

aye, what is quakelive?

Quake Live is quake 3 played in your browser. It is totally awesome, and I am totally awful at it. Try it!!!!

[ImmortalTecz]

^sure will then, i trust u!

[Q_efx]

Hmm I think I found something interesting. It is called pale moon it is like a light weight version of Firefox optimized for Windows.

See here:

Even plugins work :)

[Sagat]

That's a function and not a memory leak. It saves all tabs you've had open in memory for quick reopening with ctrl+shift+t. It's easy to disable and once you do that, Firefox won't use much RAM at all.

[Sinestro]

Short of developing, there's zero reason why you'd need something like that for just your everyday average web browser.

And if you're developing, you shouldn't be using Chrome anyway.

[ImmortalTecz]

^agree i think

[Losix]

Yea, but I mean. If I open Firefox go to one page, and let Firefox be on, I can see in task manager how the ram usage slowly goes up.

[ImmortalTecz]

well how about closing firefox, or just get more RAM :P i mean it doesnt take that much, atleast not with me, i guess it depends on addons and etc.

[TheOriginal]

Been Using Firefox since my Cousin Made Me Test It For Him ( He was one of the main developers ). The Best Browser In The World In My Opinion.

[ImmortalTecz]

^listen to this guy

[Losix]

well how about closing firefox, or just get more RAM :P i mean it doesnt take that much, atleast not with me, i guess it depends on addons and etc.

I dont want to close it, I like to have tabs open and leave browser open for days. Makes some things easier.

I think 3x2gb ram should be enough...

[ImmortalTecz]

well right now when i got firefox open + 4 tabs its using 250 mb... how much is yours using?

[Losix]

Chrome 9 tabs, well it shows 2 instances of chrome running, one at 104mb and one on 50mb

[ImmortalTecz]

that not much...

[Gorb]

People seem to use Opera more than IE, if thread is any decent indication of the greater Internet whole.

Lulz.

I use Firefox for the most part, however sometimes it bugs out and I resort to Chrome (which I also rather like, but I'm just so used to Firefox), and the PDF extension in my version of FF is broken is several horrible ways and I can't be bothered to fix it properly.

remember these ppl is gamers, ordinary ppl probaly dont know there exists other browsers than IE

[LolMaliken]

ordinary people probably dont know what a browser is. its just IE and SAFARI are the interenet, duh?

also, theres an addon you can get that reopens ur page exactly where u closed it... if ur having that many problems get it and use it.

[TreeHorse]

After using Chrome, Firefox makes me want to club myself to death.

[Zoneseek]

Firefox, and it will stay that way as long as its the only one with ABP.

[ImmortalTecz]

^ABP??? what is that, btw almost 100 votes for FireFox!

[ImmortalTecz]

1 more vote for Firefox gogo :)

[Desuuuu]

Firefox.

[ImmortalTecz]

woohoo 100+ for firefox

[ImmortalTecz]

Chrome is quite popular aswell

[Typhy]

Internet Explorer has worked for me with NO problems. Too much of a hassle to set all my favorites/settings into any other browser, + download any extra plugins. I have firefox, but I only use it for one thing once a month, for a few minutes.

Go IE! :D

[Lloyd2k4]

so addicted to firefox that I won't even give chrome a chance. my roommate says it's superior to firefox but I find that extremely hard to believe considering how well done firefox is to this point.

[Nietzschean]

Netscape.

It's old school, yo.

Netscape is SO old school that I thought it was extinct. I remember it was my old "porn browser" back in the day.

Nowadays, its Chrome.

why that, isn't firefox good enough for that ? :cool:

[ImmortalTecz]

I got no word for those 4 who voted for IE

[ImmortalTecz]

nearly 60% for firefox, actually more than i expected

[DeIirium]

Chrome - cleanest looks, smoothly running, minimalistic and yet fully functional for my needs.

IE - opposite.

[ImmortalTecz]

Firefox is still leading
