Which internet browser do you prefer?

Post Reply New Topic

I've happily used Google Chrome for years and have enjoyed the interface immensely. However, I have recently become fond of Mozilla Firefox, primarily based on it's superior Ad-Blocker. Which browser do you prefer and why?

Firefox because the add-ons make it easier and safer to surf the internet. I tried chrome, but the settings are not easy to figure out, and there's no way to change the colors. Black text on a white background blinds me.

Firefox because of the Ad Blocker and Personas

Chromium. It's the open source project which Google takes and embellishes slightly to produce Google Chrome. It has almost all of the same features and is included in the default repositories of my Linux distro. I find that it has a nice interface--much nicer than the Linux version of Firefox. I can install an adblocker on it too, which I love.

Firefox because I like fox's.

Firefox. I have used it for the last 7 years and will never leave it for another browser. I like the vast amount of add-ons for it. its secure, its stable and it doesn't hog as much resources as some other browsers do (not going to mention any names).

Safari.

Opera is my favorite "out of the box". It's faster and more secure than Firefox. (And much more secure than Chrome.) But I still use Firefox on my desktop because of the extensions.

I'm currently using Firefox. However, I also have Chrome and Opera installed, and if those don't run something, I have Internet Explorer.

Iceweasle/Firefox and Opera. I didn't like chrome because even though it's code size is small, it's very resource hungry.

I've been using the two above mentioned browsers since 2K5.

Chromium.

I have FF as well, but can't get it to work once I've enabled all the things that are meant to make it so safe.

Internet Explorer-- AHAHAHA! Thought I was really going to go there, huh.

Yeah, just Firefox.

Any thing but IE

Any thing but IE

I used to use IE but IE9 is unusable and barely working.
I used to use Opera (older than version 9?) but several Javascripts didn't work at all.
I was forced to use FireFox at school and the plugin-container.exe and certain Javascripts or other scripts (the pop-up script stopped, continue or abort script) so I never used that on my own PCs and I still wonder why everyone use it. I always have to open up task monitor and force close plugin-container.exe for my girlfriend's PC because she wants to use FireFox for some reason..
Also the update process for FireFox is weird and takes too much time (~5 seconds and few clicks) + full browser restart, its pain in the ass when you have to maintain 100 PCs and keep them uptodate, luckily they switched to Chrome recently, however I no longer work there since it was part time job, kinda of..

I am using Chrome myself because of the simple updating process, automatic Flash update, notices about Java updates, wont run Java applets if Java is outdated by default, easy and good extension system and the list goes on and on and on..

I just can't understand how some people like and want to use FireFox..
For those who use it "just for adblocker", see this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... kkbiglidom

I am using Safari lately. It is pretty good. My Firefox has turned into Kristy Allie.
