    Which browser do you use?

    And what one you thinks the best?

    I'm fed up with how slow IE is and somtimes dosent respond so i went over to google chrome and thought,WOW! this is fast.so been using it for the past 4 months and today its taken me 30mins to get browsing because of the shitty SHOCKWAVE CRASH

    Apparently its been going on for time so why havent the fixed it yet??

    Anyways im now on firefox and gotta say its looking pretty slick and fast,just waiting for the bugs to surface if there is any?

    I use IE mainly, always got on with it but I do have lots of anti-spyware to help it out as it can be unsecure.

    I don't like firefox, not sure why, but I use it now & then when the need arises, I don't find it any better than IE, maybe a bit quicker to load.

    Now & then I use Safari but I don't really like it, just have it in case !

    I like Opera, I find that much like IE, but it's more secure, if I had to choice one other than IE to use all the time it would be Opera

    Firefox for me although at work I'm sometimes forced into IE depending on where I am and what machine I have access to.

    Mozilla Firefox is handy purely for the skipscreen add-on. I recommend it if you download alot from megaupload/rapidshare ect.

    Firefox for me. It's a fantastic browser and i've never had any problems with it at all.

    I use the 64bit version of IE8 sometimes, although the lack of support for the browser is really bad. You can't even watch youtube videos on it.

    Google Chrome for me. It's officially the fastest browser, with proper support for tabs, if one tab crashes it doesn't bring the whole browser down.

    Also all the greasemonkey scripts and add ons you can get for firefox are available.

    i find firefox the best for me, all the add on & stuff you can have, & its really simple to use, even i find my way around it & i,m no pc expert, & they say its much safer than IE as that where all the virus's lurk.

    give it a try its simple to load from their website & you can use both side by side

    Firefox all the way, although it is a big chunky on the old CPU - but due to the flexibility of all the addons and stuff like that it's to be expected - probably the best bet I'd say. I used IE for a lot of years until 7...

    I use Firefox, but if Chrome ever updates to fully support noscript I would probably move to that instead


    These are the main firefox addons I use

    noscript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722/
    extra protection for Firefox... allows javascript, java and flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti XXs Protection available in a browser.



    ie tab plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/
    enables you to use the embedded IE engine within tabs of Mozilla Firefox


    skipscreen https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11243/
    Skips unnecessary pages on sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, zShare, Mediafire, and more

    Finally took the plunge and upgraded to IE8, so far so good. Always used IE and have Firefox as back-up for when some websites are having problems opening in IE.

    Safari all the way..

    Using Safari for quick surfing and fast loading - OUTSTANDING!.
    When I need to use scripts I change to Firefox. Especially when visiting the audioz.info site.

    I used to use Firefox but then Firefox 4 came out it was so shit it kept crashing all of the time. I hate I.E. and Chrome (it tracks your every move apparently) so I canged over to Maxthon. Itr's nice and easy to use once you've done the options. Fast and just an all round nice browser.
