Which Web Browser?

I've been happy with Firefox for years.

They're all pretty good now, so your choice isn't exactly critical

I prefer Opera, but try them all and make your own choice.

I split between Safari on Mac and Firefox elsewhere. Plus the occasional firing up of Lynx when X is dead.

I thought it would never happen

Been using Chrome for the past 2 months but I've gone back to Firefox 4 Beta 12 and I prefer it. I hate the way Chrome handles the downloads in a seperate tab rather than the little window on FF.

Sticking with FF now I think.

I keep going back to Chrome, I was a long time Firefox fan, but even IE9 seems to be slowly catching it, and the bottom line for me is Chrome is lightweight and uber fast on all my setups.

And V10 is out today, with supposed big leaps in performance..

Iron for me, no issues with it and have been using for 6 months or so.

Yes, yes I am

Installing RC FF4 as we speak!

Firefox 4 RC. I really like it, seems fast and stable + as always awesomely customizable

mrk · 9 Mar 2011 at 00:25

Firefox, no! Chrome! NO!!! Firefox!

I'm using Chrome 10 and FF4 RC1 (now that FireFTP has been updated)

Pretty much every one of my extensions work out the box and those that don't were quickly fixed via extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0

dante6491 · 9 Mar 2011 at 00:41

Wait, why does your firefox look like chrome? Is that what FireFTP does?

mrk · 9 Mar 2011 at 00:43

FireFTP is a fully fledged FTP client, probably one of the best in fact. My FF4 looks like Chrome because I installed the Chrome theme for it, I like Chromes look so it's perfect. Waiting for TwentyTen to go final before returning to that.

Just a quick update but it appears there's a DirectWrite update out via MS:

This may improve FF4 too.

I use FIREFOX with noscript when i'm looking on sites i don't trust
(no need for an antivirus with this)
and CHROME for everyday use

There seems to be a lot using chrome would be interesting to see this thread being made into a poll.

For all those IE users out there (which should be 0!)

One of thousands of examples of Microsofts shoddy security approach to building a browser!

They could have patched it, but they left it open!

Oh and Firefox and Chrome where not hacked at the recent PWN 2 OWN!
