Best internet browser

Rybo89 · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:49

Used Firefox since i started using the internet. Decided i don't like it anymore, always crashing, always messing up.

Done it for ages but i just could never be arsed to learn a new program.

Literally the only sites i go on are this forum, Autotrader and Pistonheads. Sometimes have a load of tabs up when im looking through cars/threads which destroys Firefox most of the time.

I have Windows 7.

Thanks

IE11 works for me most of the time.

I use Google Chrome as a backup.

The best three (arguably) are Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. In which order is up to you really, there is no 'best' as it's down to user preference.

For example, I love Chrome, dont mind Firefox and would never be seen using Internet explorer.

Chrome, thought that was just for phones.

Ill try that out. Thanks guys.

I use nothing but chrome. Syncs over all platforms.

Using Chrome now, nice and easy. Glad its same as firefox with no crap around the screen. Just a search bar and my 3 bookmarks.

Will get a load of cars up and see if it dies on me like firefox.

I love Firefox. Been using it and Chrome for a few years but I certainly prefer Firefox.

I used to swear by FF but for some reason I moved to Chrome and never looked back. A few of the right add-ons and it's just how I like it.

Usually use firefox but Opera is good in turbo mode for various reasons.
but do have IE and chrome for testing site compatibility.

I use all three major browsers (FF, IE, Chrome), but primarily Firefox. I tend to stick to open source software, and Fireofx is exactly that. Not to mention it is the fastest, most efficient and customisable of the major browsers.

Chrome, because with a Google account it seems to make it easier to sync bookmarks, accounts etc. Also it's got some great extensions. IE works fine too but I love things like imgur extension. Downside of Chrome is that it needs plugins to operate as well as IE does by default (image properties, new tab settings...).

Firefox I only use for my work VPN. Seems good though, I just haven't bothered as Chrome hits the spot so far.

Sounds like a dodgy addon running.

Exactly, ease of use and simplicity ticks all the boxes for me.

Firefox, love the sync and the fact it also syncs plugins.

IE has some really annoying habits like having to manually enter http:\\ to web\IP address's. Else it trys searching with bing first.

Chrome. Syncs everything when signed in with your Google account. Easily the fastest current browser.

Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari = all good.

I predominantly use IE (latest version), but also install Firefox as an alternate on all PCs I support. My personal system also has Chrome installed (just in case), and I use Waterfox instead of Firefox.
