Chrome is more functional than Safari. Thought about Opera?

swinnie · 21 Apr 2009 at 19:23

I'd go for Opera over Chrome, or Safari.

S.A.S · 21 Apr 2009 at 19:23

never seen or tried opera, might take a look

S.A.S · 21 Apr 2009 at 19:36

thnx guys operas brilliant, very fast and low on resources

Opera's great, I'm a bit of a fanboy. I think Chrome's faster these days however. Get Iron though, which is a different offshoot from Chrome.

I love Firefox due to its ability to in plug-ins, my favourite is Ad Block Plus.

But, I'd use Opera without any problems.

Safari is ghastly on anything other than Macs and even then it's quite ghastly. I was using Firefox up until this week when I installed Chrome. I quite like it.

How in God's name Firefox runs slow on that rig of yours in your sig is beyond me (if you are indeed running it on that) but I would use Opera personally - nice bit of browsing kit!

Weirdly I have a not-exactly underpowered PC and Firefox can be a bit sucky when scrolling (kinda choppy and the page gets a little messed up then sorts itself out). Chrome is fine however

Athlon 2500+, 1.75GB RAM & ATi Radeon x1650 incase you are wondering

IE7/8?

+1 opera

I'm an opera fan boy, but recently I've been using Chrome, its very very quick and streamlined. which is all you need really.
Opera is good for the add-ons it supports, which i do rarely use!
Firefox i found to be too vast and not much better than IE!

Firefox is pretty quick for me, but for some reason when i first start it up it takes absolutely ages to get going, filemon shows it reading absolutely tonnes of stuff from the disk :confused:

If it was made by anyone other than Microsoft people on here would love it.

It's rubbish though.

Dunno, I've not had a problem with IE7 - not used IE8 yet though. IE6 was ick.

Safari is great on a Mac. Safari 4 Beta raises the bar further and used in conjunction with webkit is the fastest browser you can get.

All the other browsers on a mac are rubbish. Opera is terrible, horrible UI and just a pain to use, firefox i hate also, with a passion.

I beg to differ, but that's just my opinion. I've tried all the other major browsers and always end up back with good old IE.
