MttFrog13 Posted February 25, 2009 CID Share Posted February 25, 2009 I was just wondering what browser most people here use, there doesn't seem to be much discussion of this here even tho we discuss how fast we browse. I realize some people use two browsers a lot so you can vote for two. I myself only use google chrome because its lighter that safari and ie at least and is really fast. I was but am not hooked to adblock plus anymore so i stopped using firefox. I read that using adblock prevents revenue that websites make and can lead to things costing more on the internet.

mudmanc4 Posted February 25, 2009 CID Share Posted February 25, 2009 Webkit If I get to it, I update every few days, I used to do it daily. Reason, it's in my world, the most secure, simple, it's what I need. And I enjoy helping the developers, and doin a bit myself, what I can anyway.

irvine25 Posted February 25, 2009 CID Share Posted February 25, 2009 I am using Firefox. I used to use Internet Explorer before but then when firefox was introduced to me, I find it better compared to IE. Been using it ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MttFrog13 Posted February 26, 2009 Author CID Share Posted February 26, 2009 what extensions are keeping you from switching? unless its something else. Using chrome, i do get a little nostalgic when i see banner ads that move in front of the screen, or how i can't tweak the actions of the tabs that the extension tab mix plus gives you. but i've just gotten really used to the top loaded tabs and not having to chase around the 'x' button when i'm closing tabs. Also its nice to know that when i close a tab that i'm not using the ram from that page anymore unlike most browsers where its good to restart it from time to time. I have to do this especially after streaming a big video, not with chrome tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 27, 2009 CID Share Posted February 27, 2009 I use opera because everyone else uses firefox. Thats just my nature. Everyone turns right I will turn left just to see what is going on that way. Plus I love the ability to edit Opera's right click menue.

peepnklown Posted February 27, 2009 CID Share Posted February 27, 2009 I use IE7 for most of my browsing needs but I use Firefox for the higher risk websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted March 2, 2009 Author CID Share Posted March 2, 2009 i just switched back to firefox. I started to really miss firefox remembering the form entries, some of the extensions like linkification, better gmail2, and tab mix plus. As good as chrome is and with the facy interface and tab tricks, until it incorporates more features found in firefox, i probably won't be using it. I strongly recommend it tho for people who don't need the firefox extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalternate Posted March 3, 2009 CID Share Posted March 3, 2009 Used FireFox when it was Phoenix just before it was called FireBird and then FireFox. But I hate tabbed browsing. So I love being able to" about:config "and modify things a bit. And also don't like the address bar popping down my bookmarks when I am typing in a web address. I changed that as well to go away. But as with any browser, people still need to to look out for the bugs on the Internets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalternate Posted March 5, 2009 CID Share Posted March 5, 2009 what don't u like about the tabbed browsing? I'm always lookin for new ways to tweak my firefox. Cause I'm old fashioned. If I were to have over 6 windows open at a time, maybe Tabbed would be okay. But generally I don't go over 5 windows open at once. And I am accustomed to have them sit in the bottom task bar. People who leave multiple sites open for hours on end and switch back and forth, love Tabs. And Tabs free up the task bar for desktop programs. Great for office workers who are supposed to be working. But I have 'just the browser' or the 'just the desktop' open usually. Heres a link to some TAB add-ons reviews. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/too-many-tabs-firefox-add-ons-to-manage-a-tab-jam/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If browsers were women http://www.sharenator.org/If_browsers_were_women/ Damn, internet explorer is a HOTTY. :shock: And fast.
