Poll: I still use internet explorer

[G-MAN2004]

The thing I hate about IE is that it hangs for a second saying 'connecting' when you open a new tab.

But you go to pages with a bit more substance to them, flash or java. I feel the way internet explorer handles the experience to be much better.

Why is it better?

No browser should ever execute Java without requesting permission from the user. This is why I love Chrome.

In Chrome, Spanner > Settings > Under the Bonnet > Content Settings > Plug-ins > Click to play

No need for flashblock and it's far more secure than giving free rein to all plug-ins.

IE9 , firefox and Opera

FireFox with the following plug-in's:

AdBlockPlus
English Dictionary (spell checker basically)
DownThemAll!

Cannae go wrong.

Battlelog works fine in IE9, absolutely not a single fault.

That's the only use IE9 gets for me though. Waterfox for everything else.

sods law .....


.... when it first came out (BF3 + updates) I saw more black screens than during a power cut!

Chrome at home and at work, love having my bookmarks move to different sites including my phone.

At work I also have to use IE8 and IE6, IE8 is not the most fun to use, a lot of sites won't work, talktalks mail problems for instance, right hassle.

Firefox here. Why would you use chrome when it's owned by google?

What's wrong with Google? What search engine do you use instead?

Google are well known for data mining and other practices.

I was duckduckgo, they don't store your data.

I'm deeply disturbed at the thought they might log my searches about normal things. How alarming.

Jeez talk about paranoid What exactly is it you're searching that you don't want people to know huh?

Firefox on windows/linux, chrome on mac, 'browser' on android and my own custom browser on windows phone which uses internet explorer's rendering engine.

Trouble I have with chrome is that it's instant to start up (as is everything on my ssd), but hangs for a few seconds when loading the home page for the first time, whereas firefox loads it straight away.

Firefox for me. I have set it up how I like and I'm used to it, so I don't see any need to change.

Have to use IE at work and I just think it seems slow for some reason and looks dated.

Nothing to do with what I look at, I just don't want to be profiled without consent.

Shut up or I'll club you .....

Why do you think you are being profiled, and what about it specifically bothers you if a few mundane things are logged?

 

[GravyMonster]

IEs javascript engine is slower than a cancerous old dog. Plus it's still not even close to being standards compliant, so for that reason alone I hate it.

I use Chrome when browsing generally, and FF when building a site as it has better extensions to help.
