What are you using to browse this thread right now?

Had unflinching loyalty to Firefox for a decade till I gave Chrome an extended run. Can open four tabs on launch.

uvelocity · 05-05-2013, 07:33 AM

yeah was devout firefox until i finally installed chrome, haven't looked back.

was netscape once

Firefox, Chrome is rat**** in Linux and there ain't much else.

EDIT: Dillo's not bad, of the lightweights.

Howe_zat · 05-05-2013, 07:52 AM

I just have green numbers moving up and down the screen

Not too much a fan of Chrome's data mining/aggregation activities, so stick to Firefox.

Surely nobody uses IE these days.

Every uni or public pc I've used does. I expect most offices do too.

Yeah, but IE tends to come as default, it's packaged with every copy of the Windows operating system etc... The offices in which I have worked always had IE as the base option, but once people actually started to use them, they tended to download something else in the majority of instances.

Was thinking more in terms of home usage though, not sure I know anyone who uses IE out of choice.

Safari, as browsing on iPhone

Use Firefox at home. Google are ****ty ****s

LongHopCassidy · 05-05-2013, 08:11 AM

Safari on the iPad is complete turd. Auto refreshes every time you swap tabs - never mind that you'd been writing a long-ass post but briefly checked your mail - and deletes your browser history periodically which is awful for n00dz sites with forgettable names.

GingerFurball · 05-05-2013, 08:23 AM

Chrome.

Used to use FF until it went through a phase of crashing everytime I went onto YouTube.

Spark · 05-05-2013, 08:34 AM

FF but slowly swapping to Chrome because of the aforementioned.

That's because it doesn't have enough memory allocated to store all your pages, apparently. El stupido, I know

firefox. i cbf going through the process of adding my add-ons for Chrome

sledger · 05-05-2013, 08:55 AM

That's an interesting aspect of browsing in itself, actually. Which add-ons do people use?

Use a variety of ad-blockers/do not track/privacy enhancing extensions, myself. Couple of other plugins too.
