I am starting to hate Chrome more and more, it's sluggish, a memory hog and it's not really wow'ing me anymore. Not to mention, on my Macbook Pro, it kills it when ever I try to run Youtube videos in 1080p...

So, what browser are you using? (can a mod make the list a poll?)

Chrome
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Internet Explorer
 
I predominantly use IE - I have no real problems with it. I use Edge occasionally but a lot of the stuff I use is only really compatible with IE.

Ad Block runs on IE now so I'm finding no real reason to use Firefox.

I am running edge almost all of the time.
Some site claim to need IE when loaded but if I stay within edge I have yet to see any issue. Clearly something must not be working, but I have to find out what, next site for instance.
 
Used to use Firefox for many years, but started using Chrome more not so long back, and I pretty much use it all the time now. No issues at all with it, even on an old laptop with 4GB RAM with plenty of tabs open.

I did use Opera as a secondary browser for a time, but haven't tried it in a while now. Never have used Safari and IE, I don't like at all. Too many times I have used it and soon wished I hadn't.

I know some people get along fine with it, like the above poster. For me though, IE has made me swear more than any of the others, so I avoid it like the plague, unless I have to use it.
 
The only thing I find that doesn't run in Edge is the old antiquated interfaces for Netscalers and such like that I have to use and that's because of Java and specific versions of IE only working though when I upgrade it switches to HTML5 which will be a relief.

What doesn't work in IE? (just interested to know as I haven't found anything yet).

Mainly Firefox here but am coming to like Edge more and more. I dropped Chrome like a brick a while back due to a number of issues, performance being one of them.
 
I use a bunch of browsers for different things, since I don't like any of them enough to just use the one. Chrome when I'm just browsing/not gaming, Waterfox for Twitch/SkyGo and Edge for when I want a browser open while gaming.

It works OK as I have them set to only open on certain monitors.
 
I think personal preference plays a big part in this.

Personally I can't stand IE/Edge, and only use them to 'see' if my website works in them. I quite like Chrome, and Firefox myself. :)
 
I use Waterfox as my main browser on my Windows 10 PC (as IE seems broken for some reason and Edge is too minimal at the moment). I use Chrome as my secondary browser, but not that often

On my laptop and Work PC however (both Windows 8.1), I use Internet Explorer.
