Poll: I still use internet explorer

[kilohawk]

Chrome mainly.
IE for the uni network as it doesnt like Chrome sometimes.
Safari on MBP and iPhone.

firefox. Has private browsing for watching pron.

i guess others have this feature, but i couldnt find it

 

[RomanNose]

Sw-Iron or Chromium or firefox.

They feel incredibly clunky to me. shockwave\flash plugins arent anywhere near as seemless as they are with internet explorer.

Chrome is inherently more secure, and doesn't even require a Flash plugin. It is baked in.

Also, lol @ the one opera user

I use chrome (and chromium) and sometimes firefox but really it's personal pref.
It's like the stigmata that Vista got stuck with. it's no worse an OS than XP or 7 but because it wasn't perfect on release it's always branded as being "broken"

Firefox for me, I've tried Chrome a few times and I don't think it's better.

 

[cymatty]

Used Opera, but now I have switched to Chrome full time.

I use Chrome at home and work for general browsing - I like the feel of it. For my applications at work I use IE due to support for them. Firefox is now sort of a backup for me if Chrome doesn't work on a website properly.

People need to realise its much of a muchness these days unless there's a specific reason for needing a particular browser or for the way it "feels". People who still think IE is like a security sieve need to get a grip, its fine as a browser.

Well I've voted

For things like grooveshark I use Internet explorer, Not sure why, Maybe it is some limitation on my patricular system. But it just runs much smoother.

If I'm just browsing I generally open chrome, right now I'm using IE as I have multiple tabs open, 1 being grooveshark.

I havent used Firefox in years(around the time chrome was fixed), At one point it was my main browser, When Chrome first hit and it had major flaws, I stuck with firefox. Now chrome does everything firefox did faster. So it's become redundant. Internet explorer however, has not.

I use Chrome, never really found any sites where it doesn't work properly.

 

[flibbage0]

I use Google chrome.

The only time I would find IE useful would be when using my maths CD (Edexcel stuck in the late 90's), it has the worked solutions for the questions in the textbook but requires IE. Luckily there is an IE tab plugin for Chrome so that takes care of things.

I use Firefox. It has had it's moments; it's at times been brilliant or buggy as hell but I like the configuration options and the addons. Not to mention the address bar, with it's list of frequently visited sites. It's the browser for people who like to fiddle. I'm not a fan of their new version numbers though.

 

[Yas786]

IE user here and i wont be putting any other browser on my phone...tried chrome rubbish, tried firefox rubbish as well.

 

[Freefaller]

Since moving over to windows 7 64bit I haven't been bothered in using anything else. IE9 works well enough for me.

 

[dowie]

It's the most secure browser as showen in numerous tests by numerous security companies. What was I saying about stigma.

Chrome is more secure.

 

[Tom0]

I tried Firefox a few years ago and it was like Chrome is now.

Right...

Never tried chrome yet though

..but you just said...

but I watch a lot of Sky Go on my PC and it doesn't work well in Chrome.

How do you know that if you "never tried chrome yet" to make the comparison? Or have you used it and are ...what... you tried chrome, you never tried chrome, you prefer chrome but don't/never use(d) chrome? *head explodes*

 

[Cosimo]

IE9 works well enough for me.

 

[Sefirosu]

Chrome more popular than Firefox.
