AngryHulk Posted June 12, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have been using the 13.0 version of Firefox and I think it’s much faster than chrome and other browsers. So what do you guys choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted June 12, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I like the latest Chrome and Firefox. They really get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted June 12, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I still like Firefox, but have been using Chrome most often lately as I like how easy it is to log into it thru my existing Google acct and my bookmarks follow me around between PC's and it is quite fast for my uses.

dlewis23 Posted June 12, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 This is something that just consistently swaps around. Chrome is the "fastest" next month it will be Safari 6 and who knows the month after that. I personally use Safari and Chrome can't stand IE or Firefox plus webkit based browsers tend to be more stable and quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted June 13, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) IE6 was the fastest ever for me. As time goes by all the new ones get more and bloated. Edited June 13, 2012 by tommie gorman Dude111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted June 13, 2012 CID Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I bounce between Opera and chrome. Like opera because its easy to customize it more to your liking. Example, with right click, I can open notepad, open the page in any other browser I choose. Like someone else said, Next month, or the next release, the better browser will change.

If "enable phishing and malware protection" are checked it will give you fits. Since I unchecked mine I don't have those problems. Its automatically activated with and update!

Roco Posted July 26, 2012 CID Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 who can see Milli seconds ? I use Firefox v14.01, I like the way it handles fav tabs , as a back up I have I.E.8 , I have an aversion to google full stop , just don't like the phone home stuff , for me doing UK speed tests on a 40Gbt line , maybe I.E 8 is a few Kbits faster , but I ain't loosing sleep over that .

I think if you really spent some time on it , you would be surprised at how much any newer operating system and all it's 'goodies' , are phoning home , and the many connections it's has at any given moment. Nice connection for you finally ! Glad to see you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 26, 2012 CID Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have an aversion to google full stop , just don't like the phone home stuff , Wether you like it or not. Everything "phones home" now. Its not just google and web browsers. Every OS (Computer or Phone) does it just about every application does it now. Phone apps can send crazy amounts of information back with out you ever knowing. mudmanc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed , but most are stopable , either by a soft firewall or hacking out the updater , or using Services. msc not sure about Phones though , fortunatly I don't own one since I retired , the last one took a hike into the garbage bin that day , LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted July 27, 2012 CID Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yes you can stop some or most of the network traffic I agree, the problem is so many applications now are tied to something somewhere else, people think they want this ' I can access it from anywhere ' thing. So many times you limit the functionality by blocking the arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbaguette Posted February 6, 2013 CID Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I generally find chrome is much faster on my notebook, firefox was bogged down with too many things going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubCity Posted February 7, 2013 CID Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I still run Win XP and use IE8 for my browser and have no problems at all. Plenty fast in my opinion. [url=https://testmy.net/quickstats/HubCity][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
