Kaphias Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Safari on Mac, Chrome on Windows. Of the two I like Safari more, but I use Chrome on my Windows as it seems faster. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I use firefox. I would switch to chrome if it had an ad blocker, which last time I checked, it didn't. It may have now it now but I'm far too comfortable with firefox. It has one, but it only hides the ads, I don't think it actually blocks them. That's actually good for legitimate websites, because you wouldn't get banned from those sites that require you to see those ads I've been using ad-blockers for years, I don' get banned. :3 :oops: Them techies gonna flame.

Mr_Adam Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Since I've gotten my new pc, I've only used IE. I'm too lazy to download Firefox again, although I liked being able to customize it, and I recall it as being faster than IE, not counting the long start time... I've used Chrome, and it's ok. Took a little time to get used to though. In the end, the internet is the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nenga Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I use firefox. I have my own skin, have a few downloaded addons, and it's pretty fast to browse. My only complaint would be the bug in the version I have, where the longer I leave firefox running, the more memory it starts to use up. When I first log on, it uses about 40k memory according to the task manager, but over time it will slowly increase and after an hour or two, caps at using up 100k memory, which then slows down the speed of browsing.

Skeptical Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 95% of my browsing is in Firefox: yes Chrome feels fast (I read, but have since forgotten the source, that it is only slightly faster: it's the way that it loads the page that gives it that blazing-fast feel), but it simply lacks the extensibility and customization possible with 'Fox, as well as the fact that it's from Google. You're using a closed browser when a superior open-source alternative exists... I do find though, that Chrome loads faster than Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10, so there is a place for it on my laptop.

Will H Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I use Chrome for the clever UI and speed. It really surprises me how much of a waste it is for programs to not use the top window bar for tabs or dynamic information. Plenty of programs use them in their own bars below the window bar, I think Microsoft would do well to put in a feature like that in Windows as standard for programs to take advantage of, much like Jump Lists. Then again, they probably won't because it will send out the message that Chrome was 'right' about something and therefore IE was 'wrong'...I use firefox. I would switch to chrome if it had an ad blocker, which last time I checked, it didn't. It may have now it now but I'm far too comfortable with firefox. It has one, but it only hides the ads, I don't think it actually blocks them. It definitely blocks them. When Extensions first came out, ad blockers couldn't stop them from loading, but changes to the browser a couple of months later made it possible, Firefox style. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I use firefox. I would switch to chrome if it had an ad blocker, which last time I checked, it didn't. It may have now it now but I'm far too comfortable with firefox. It's actually had a decent ad blocker for a while now. Here's the link to it in Chrome Extensions. If you do switch, then I'd also recommend the excellent Speed Dial (which is actually now better than Opera's [speed dial inventors]) and Chrome Gestures (right-click gestures for faster navigation). Those two extensions in particular give Chrome functions that I desperately missed after moving from Opera 10.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Adblock for chrome doesn't block them but just hides them, unlike in Firefox where it blocks them. As for me, I use firefox 3.6.7, might be upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 but will not upgrade to Firefox 4 because they got rid of the status bar which was extremely useful. :oops: Them techies gonna flame. I like IE, alright?Its okay. I refused to enter the Firefox bandwagon for years. IE's good for some, not good for others. I liked IE until I found out that there were other browsers, which is quite a while back. Firefox was the one I chose because it was the one that fit my needs the best although for a while I had used Opera before going for Firefox.

BloodAngel Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Safari for the most part because I have a Mac, but I use FF for Runescape and catching up on TV shows I missed.

____ Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Chrome. I used to be an avid user of Opera but eventually the need for most of its functionality went away (ie: I graduated uni).I added a few extensions to Chrome just to up the functionality a bit (adblock, speed dial, geustures). Nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
