Which internet browser do you use?

Chuggerboom · 18 Dec 2010 at 23:15

I use Google Chrome. Tried them all and Chrome is the fastest.

I use a mixture of them all, I don't think many people use Just 1 browser.

My default is always IE8, does everything I need it to do.
Firefox - I don't know, I just don't like it, but I have it.
Chrome - Where on earth are your fravorites located at? It's really fast though.
Opera - I really like this browser (Productivity), although for me, it's slower than IE8
Safari - Never Bothered, It's apple.

Um...your favourites are on the bookmarks bar. And in the bookmarks folder...

Firefox and Chrome

To tell you the truth, I've had Chrome on here for quite some time, and have never really bothered using it.

But I had a fiddle around with it about half hour ago, got my bookmarks bar set up and everything, and I love IT!
Chrome is now my default browser, maybe if I bothered to work out where to find the bookmarks and stuff, I'd have been using it ages ago!

Good to hear mate. I also like that all your bookmarks and extensions etc all get synced to your Google account, so on a fresh install, you just sign in, and it all syncs. Love it

Do you need an extension to sync?

Nope, just your account login info. :cool:

Cool, cheers didn't know you could do that, I just copied over the user folder onto a new install. :rolleyes:

Mr.Nick · 20 Dec 2010 at 11:52

Opera 90% of the time, then Firefox

It's worth keeping a backup of your User folder anyway. I've had Chrome crash on me twice and when it did for some unknown reason, it took out all my bookmarks. I now make a backup every month or so and keep it on a separate drive.

But yeah, the sync is excellent. So easy to perform. V Handy.

Mixture of Chrome and Firefox, if it wasn't for Chrome's lack of support for multirow tabbing, I would switch to Chrome completely.

Snooble · 20 Dec 2010 at 12:24

Chrome.
BUT

WHY DOESN'T CHROME HAVE A PAGE SETUP/PRINT PREVIEW FEATURE? Seriously. Means I have to use Firefox for some php random scripts and printing. Can't even remove the header/footer from chrome..
