Which Web Browser Do You Use?

Which web browser do you use? I use Mozilla Firefox, and sometimes Opera, never Internet Explorer.

I use Mozilla Firefox. They have an incredible amount of add-ons that can be used for things such as facebook, myspace, yahoo chat, google chat ect. One of my favorites is a sidebar that has all of my chat applications, facebook updates and other social networking items.

Mozilla also has tabbed browsing, the ability to create themes, and a wonderful password manager called Sxipper.

It is very easy to download. Simply go to their homepage and follow the one screen directions. Then simply click "find add-on's" and you will be given a whole host of wonderful add-on options.

Hope that answers your question.

Sincerely,
Celeste Stone

I use Opera as my primary browser, it's not the lightest browser, but it's blazing fast and has all the features and tools I need.
On my virtual windows environment I use Google Chrome as my primary browser because I only need a safe application for surfing the web.
IE is only used when something doesn't work in Opera or Chrome (hasn't happend for a while, except google chrome which failed while surfing msnd ).

For developping website I use all browsers available that are commonly used (Opera 8.5/9.6, Firefox 2/3, Safari, IE5/6/7/8, Chrome)

I use Opera as my main browser; Firefox for testing out sites or when i have too many tabs opened in Opera. When a browser has many features that doesn't burden the performance of the browser, then you know you have a well coded browser. I wouldn't mind seeing Opera's source code. I'm currently running the latest snapshot of Opera 10. But i'm waiting for PyQt4 to support Qt4.5 so i can work on making my own browser. The Webkit engine that comes with Qt4.4 isn't all that great for rendering websites and Qt4.4 currently doesn't support browser plug-ins (at least to my knowledge).

When building my websites, i don't even worry about how they look in Internet Explorer. I would rather force users to use another browser or annoy them on every page (though i don't really do that... yet). It's quicker than wasting your time adding Internet Explorer hacks to your code.

My primary browser is Firefox 3.

I think Safari for Windows is slower than firefox. Sometimes I hate to use it. It loads flash objects a little bit lazy. I don't about the added security of Safari, but Firefox is great. Amen.

I use Mozilla Firefox 3 as the primary web browser and to read my subscribed RSS Feeds. I also have Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Apple Safari installed on my computer, mainly to have a 'complete' set to test the results of my web design and development. Google Chrome is sort of my secondary browser when I don't want to have to load Firefox browser crowded with an assortment of extensions, and Internet Explorer when Windows Live Messenger opens my inbox for me.

@rockershive,
I also find Safari a bit laggy, especially when running it on Windows. I suppose it isn't perfected yet for running on Windows, since I found it is not as responsive as the other browsers.

I use Opera last versin for my everyday work/serfing/research,

except for the cases when looking video *tube sites, then I use mozilla with its available saveing addons



For web development I use Mozilla Firefox with its Firebug plugin



And, when there something doesn't work, I use IE available version, especially for something Microsoft-specific ( for example copy text from browser into MS Word - only IE copies in right format)

I use Opera as my primary browser, it really got much better since the new version and the preview/alpha version of Opera 10 passes Acid3 test by 100%, as I know also Safari 4 Developer Preview passes it, it's quite a big advantage, as other browsers will try to comply acid3 test, Opera and Safari could be doing something else, like improving performance and so on..

Sometimes, some sites don't work with Opera, it's usually because those sites use stuff which only works on IE, thats the reason why I sometimes use IE.. It's really great that Windows Vista does not need IE to go to Windows update service anymore..

I also test my webpages with Firefox and Google chrome as it is using the same engine as Safari, to know how my pages look on different browsers, on Vista it's impossible yet to use IE6, so sometimes I just use an online service which shows me how the page/layout looks on IE6 or I ask some friend on some chat, even though the best solution would be to run a virtual machine and run IE6

I use Mozilla Firefox and occasionally, IE, sadly. I more or less like the look and feel of Mozilla. Tabs/bookmarks/etc are just in the right spots. The addons are nice, too. I enjoy using adblock, and especially enjoy using downthemall.

The reason I still use IE is because I have online classes and the schools website gives Mozilla a hard time, otherwise I would hack the WindowsXp operating system, and remove all instances of IE from my computer.

If you are allowed to use an USB flashdisk, you can use Mozilla Firefox Portable, you don't have to install it, you can run it from your flashdisk : ready to use including your bookmarks.
You get it from here : http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
