What browser are you using?

[Chidori602]

What browser are you using? Opera in xp & Chrome in Ubuntu for me.

 

[mikedt]

Chrome almost all the time at the moment, on OS X, Ubuntu and Win 7. I like my browser to be consistant on whatever OS I'm using. I used to be strictly Firefox, but found it's got somewhat bloated these days, plus it crashed sometimes. I've also used Opera in the past.

 

[SoulTerror]

Internet Explorer. I tried Chrome when it first came out and I didn't notice any speed difference like it claims to have. I also don't like how they did the bookmarks.

 

[Jammy]

Chromium

No lag on it, even when I have 40 odd tabs/windows open :O

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

IE and sometimes Firefox. Also have Chrome installed but haven't updated in 4 months or so...

 

[shatterpoints]

Chrome.

Chrome

 

[Super_Six_Two]

Chrome for all my personal stuff and Firefox for work.

 

[leobaumer]

I love Chrome but I had to switch back to IE 8 as my default because no one does LogMeIn.com like IE (it's the only browser that gives me a full screen remote sessions, the others stay in the browser).

I don't recommend IE 9 yet - I had to uninstall the beta because it didn't play well with LogMeIn.com full screen and a couple of my other favorite apps.

FF and Chrome

 

[johnlgalt]

Installed: Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, Minefield 4.0 Beta 8 Pre-release (64bit), IE 9 beta, IE 9 Beta (64bit), Chrome Developer Edition (8.0.552.0 dev) and Opera 10.XX (beta).

I use Minefield daily, IE every once in a while when something won't load correctly in Minefield (or Fx) and Chrome updates itself from the dev channel.

I stick with Fx b/c I can move the profile where I want to, create it where I want to and if I have to uninstall / reinstall it and / or format my machine, I just install, run profile manager, point it to my existing profile, and poof! all of my stuff is right there, extensions settings, the whole nine yards.

Right now I am using Minefield extensively b/c of the (finally!) 64bit Flash build and the fact that my minefield is 64bit as well. In fact, typing in here from Minefield.

Oh, and I have the latest Fennec 4.0b2 installed on my DROID as well. As soon as the next nightly comes out I can enable sync and then all my stuff on my computer is on my phone. BMs, tabs, history, all that jazz

Chrome on OS X plz.

I was using Chrome for a bit, but I have gone back to FF. The add-ons seem quite a bit more polished/flawless in FF compared to Chrome. I may move back in the far future, but FF just feels too solid to really look elsewhere right now.

 

[DustinHoffman10]

I'm using Mozilla Firefox due to lots of add ons supported with Firefox.

 

[MattThing]

I've always used FF, it's interesting to see how popular Chrome is, on the assumption that quite a few of those switched from FF, can I ask why?

I've been using Chrome as my main browser for quite a while. After I found Firefox to be crashing about once a day, taking all my tabs with it. One didn't have to be doing anything with it and it would crash. This was on a Mac..and I think it was Firefox 3.5. I've got so used to how Chrome works now, and feel comfortable and confident with it.

Firefox has had a memory leak for a while, which has been documented a few times. I've observed Firefox taking well over 1GB of RAM if it's been left running for a day or so, even with only 2-3 tabs open. Again this is on a Mac. Chrome never really goes over 300MB.

 

[KyleReese]

I'm using google chrome all the time. I barely use firefox.

 

[monsterenergy22]

Opera all the way.

 

[yojoe600]

chrome

 

[ElasticNinja]

Switched from FF to Chrome
Think I'll go back when I get my lappie

 

[baillou2]

Chrome
ftw

 

[thrawn86]

opera, you heathens. Chrome's gesture plugins blow ass...

I'm about ready to murder the next person I see using IE 7.

 

[DKYang]

Chrome and Firefox. IE and Safari (on mac, not windows) can go elsewhere.

 

[conor.in]

I'm using Safari on Win7. I really love the Top Sites and Reader features, which are preventing me from switching to Chrome. Also, we have a Mac as the desktop hub in my house, so the familiarity is nice when I use that.

I am also trying out IE9 Beta, but can't bring myself to like it too much. It just runs... oddly.

I went with Chrome for a while but it was a major memory hog on my older work machine and after a while the hard drive would start churning while swapping out virtual memory. So back to FF for me.
