Your Favourite internet Browser

[berettakid 26]

i use a little acer notebook running windows 7.

 

with a small screen i found Internet explorer very cluttered, google chrome i found would freeze is there was alot of high resolution images on the page.

 

i just tried Opera and i find it excellent

Chrome has been much better than FireFox for the last two years. The FF dev team got lazy about keeping the code clean and trim. The program is way too bloated and the performance isn't as good as Chrome's.

Firefox.....

I liked the ad blocker.....

Fiddled with Opera for a while but didn't like it.

I second this. The program that evolved from Netscape has evolved back into Netscape. What is even a little more weird to me is how few programs have evolved from open-source Firefox, and none of them is really much useable - maybe excepting the music program Songbird.

For a small computer/small processor I recommend Chrome.

No discussion, the best browser at this moment.

FireFox is way to big, slow and greedy in resources for a notebook. A browser of the past ? Maybe.

 

Other alternative: Internet Explorer 9.

I use the last IE9 beta on a computer and its really a very good and surprising product !

It's day against night compare to previous versions of IE. Look like Chrome on many ways.

You can get it here : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/interne...ducts/ie-9/home

It's a beta, yes, but a already well advanced and nearly release candidate version.

Ad-Blocker and most popular plugins of FF are available on Chrome too

Chrome seems to be so much faster than IE and simple to use. It has been my default browser for the last year now. Like some others, whilst Firefox is also good, its just too big.

Sea Monkey. the red-headed step brother of Firefox. Works great, almost never locks up. My only issue is some websites have code that it can't process for some reason, like the "view it on a map" function of Expedia. I keep IE at the ready for those occasions, but IE is a clunky pile of crap. I'd never use it full time.

I've been using FF for years, but based on my belief that anything written on this forum is gospel and good information, today, I have now switched to Chrome.

Yeah, jacko, Ad-Blocker is an add-on, not part of Firefox. I've had it running on Chrome for months, works a treat there too. Chrome calls them "Extensions". 148,000 people have joined me this week.

Another vote for Opera. I've been using it since it all fit on 1 (one), 1.44 meg. 3 1/2" floppy disk.

Most of the "features" found in today's more popular browsers were first seen in Opera.

I really liked Chrome but it crashed far too often. Firefox was my default browser but it is getting big and bloated not to mention slower. Last week I downloaded the latest Beta Chrome and have had no crashes so far. I have now changed Chrome to my default browser. The Chrome Ad Blocker works great and a new email notifier (X-Notifier) that works properly has recently been released. Since I now trust Chrome, I went ahead and installed the latest Beta version of Firefox. It is better and seems to work quite well but Chrome is much faster. If I had a good Internet provider, Firefox would still be my default choice but I live in Thailand where the best provider available to me (CAT Evdo) sucks. It's better than EDGE but not a lot better. There are no land lines available where I live.

I use safari, I find it much better than firefox!
