Which Browser would you prefer to use?

Hello There,

I'm just curious as to which browser is prefered by most people. Here is the list as follows.

Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2
Mozilla Firefox 3.6 alpha 1
Netscape Navigator 9.0
IE 8
Avant Browser 11.7 Build 36
Opera 10.00
Google Chrome 2.0
Slimbrowser 4.12 Build 013
Safari 4.0

I keep changing my browser (I know stupid!) but I am just stuck to which is better to run and surf web with

 

Firefox 3.5.2 - and as a second browser, I'll use IE6 or IE7 depending on what's installed. If it's IE8 and no other browser is installed, I'll use Firefox Portable at least temporarily.

On my home PC, I use FF352 exclusively and NEVER have any problems. I'm always reading about people needing IE for this site or that site, but FF352 has worked flawlessly for everything I need.... if (for some reason) it won't work (and it always has) on my home PC, I use Opera which is installed and updated at all times.
:-D

(a couple years ago, I used PhaseOut a alot - it's IE based but it had tabs before IE did, and it seemed faster at the time)

 

haha! if browsers where classed as girlfriends ill be one big cheat as I have used them all, the only thing I have noticed with FF it takes quite a load of resources when i check in the task manager it was showing atleast 200,000K so I have decided to uninstall that and gone back to google chrome 2.0 which dosn't use much resources as FF does. But then all browsers are different.

 

pefer Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 for surfing but do have IE7 too,some apps work better in IE while FF requires add ons.No beta programs Thank You

 

I'm running the just updated FF 3.5.3 with no problems. I also use the FF add-on "View IE" with Firefox.

 

I agree I don't intend on using beta versions but it was someone on here that told me the new Mozilla Minefield browser was the fastest so I given it a try and don't get me wrong it's very fast but most sites don't work on it as its still in beta.

I have now gone back to Google Chrome 2.0 with IE 8 Combination. Google Chrome for surfing and IE 8 for downloading any windows updates.

 

[1] - Konqueror (now thats a fast browser!)

[2] - Firefox [latest stable]

[3] -*every other browser*

[4] - IE

 

Opera (version 9.63)

 

FF is my fave. Depends I have 3 or 4 email accounts for different things though, so each broqwser has a different gmail account linked to it. bUT my fave is firefox, loads of addons, and a fast browser. bit of a memory hog though

 

Oh i forgot one of my favourites....... Lynx

It is a text-only-based browser, I dont use it much, as i do enjoy seeing images and what not, but it has got it's uses

Q

 

Opera or Firefox. The few times I have used IE8 in my class, it crashes... :-D

 

I have noticed that too with IE8 and also FF sometimes crashes on me too, Google chrome hasn't let me down yet lol.

 

I really havn't tested others like Chrome or Opera.. I d had to download them and test them. I like and prefer Firefox, and IE usually runs slow for me.

 

Firefox. Never crashed on me yet since I installed it in the fall of 2004. *knock wood*
IE7 for Windows Update only.

 

Always on the latest stable (non beta) Firefox. As well as IE8 - no issues here!!

 

FF for me. version 3. 5. 3. has been released for those using it

 

was not but am now -Thanks

 

Firefox became my favorite when I discovered the speed dial add on, and I'm using the newest version, 3.5.3. I was using Opera and just upgraded to the new 10.0. Opera was my default browser on the laptop until I found the speed dial on Firefox, which has more features than Opera's speed dial. With Firefox's speed dial, you can organize the dials into groups, and I find I'm using this rather than bookmarks. This keeps me tidy, too. When a link is no longer current, I just clear the speed dial thumbnail for that link.

Firefox hasn't crashed on me in months, but I finally managed to do it today, with several tabs open, a graphics rich page trying to load, and I was attempting to print a highlighted selection from that page all simultaneously.

Oh, BTW, Firefox still hasn't fixed it's bug with printing images and entire web pages that would take more than 1 page, even after all these years, so you'll still need another browser if you want to do that.

So I use FF by default, Opera as a second (Opera's skins are nicer, too) and for e-mail on my laptop, and IE7 for Windows updates.

 

FF used to be my fav untill it started to crash on me and using quite a lot of resources which then i decided to uninstall and use a different internet browser.

 

I have downloaded the minefield browser 3.7 and yeah i agree its a fast browser and really good, not using alot of resources as many add ons dont work.

 

Trying out Minefield myself.
Found so far that my favorite (Opera) is faster.Also, Minefield shows up as Firefox in Task Manager and uses the same amount of resources as Opera.

 

i use opera the most and firefox occasionaly i realy dont use ie for anything unless circumstances force me to

 

It looks to me on these posts that people just download more than one browser to use for surfing, probably some people out there have downloaded all the browsers to their computer.
