What internet browser do you use? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Marvo301 · 11-02-2010, 07:04 PM

I'm currently using Google Chrome but I'm considering making a change. So I'm curious as to which browser others of you are using. Make me your best sales pitch about your browser to help decide which one to use. Thanks!

Currently Firefox and Opera. Unless you want to be bombarded with pop-unders on this site, I highly suggest avoiding Internet Explorer 8.

JamesG · 11-02-2010, 07:27 PM

Firefox

Safari

Firefox unless a site forces me to use IE 8. Like Charles, I find it attracts a lot less bugs, etc.

waichingliu81 · 11-02-2010, 08:45 PM

firefox, but any of the following are worth a shot too: google chrome, safari, opera

a new one i discovered recently is flock- google it!

- even though it is a social networking browser for facebook, twitter, you can access many other websites with this one.

as for internet explorer, i've had problems with that one. so atrocious. even though it is the standard default browser from microsoft i get messages such as 'microsoft internet explorer needs to close'. urgh. so annoying.

Firefox, so much better than Internet Explorer in my opinion.

I'm not forced to use IE 8 here. If I were, I probably wouldn't be here at all.

I meant "Like Charles" in regards to finding that IE attracts more bugs. I didn't mean to example this site as one that forces one to use IE.

Thank-you everyone for your input! So far Firefox seems to be the most popular although I don't know if that equates to it being the best. I.E. is definitely getting the worst reviews. I appreciate your help!

Mac or PC?

Tweety · 11-03-2010, 12:34 AM

PC and Firefox.

Been using Firefox for a few years now, I liked the features when it came out, especially the tabbed browsing. IE now does that, but it took IE a while to catch up.

Every now and then, I come across a site that requires IE, so that's when I use that one. But usually FFox.

I've tried Safari and Opera, nothing against them, I just didn't see a reason to switch from Firefox.

Re; PC vs Mac... I've heard for many years that Macs are easier to use and have fewer bugs. I think I originally went with PC because of the availability of software. That's not as much of an issue now, and I probably will go Mac some day, but I'm fine with PCs
