Which browser do you prefer?

Posted by Tara Benwell on March 2, 2011 in General Discussion

These days I use Chrome on my Mac. I find Google Chrome to be much quicker than IE. When I first started using Chrome I enjoyed the speed but found that some sites or programs didn't work properly. These days Chrome works well most of the time.

I switched from Internet Explorer (IE) because it used to always crash on me and I felt that it always needed to be upgraded. It could have just been a problem with my old laptop.

Sometimes I use Safari, but it feels a bit foreign to me. It was the default browser for my Mac when I first switched from a PC. I didn't give it a chance.

Do you have a favourite browser? What do you like about it? Which browser do you NOT like?

I use Firefox,it is the best for me,for the same reason,as Dreamer girl said:I can add mark-books and personal bars above...

I still prefer Firefox. Although Chrome is fast and good, it's too minimalistic for me.... Even firefox lack many functionality that I would like to have.
But I like that as like in Konqueror, when selecting a text that is a address of a website, then there's the option to go to that site, in pull down menu that appears when right click ..I don't have to paste it to addressbar.

At home I use Mozilla Firefox for a long time. I think it's quicker than IE. I tried Opera too, it's menu a little complicated, I don't like it. But we use IE 7 at work to run Oracle. If it crashes while I work with a drawing data, I then cannot access the drawing number I had been working with for a 24 hours. )..I think browser producers leave some bugs intentionally in order to issue some latest version to download and stay in the market.

Yeah, chromium seems okay after I installed adblock. Now when I think about it.. that was actually the main reason why I didn't stay with it after 5 minutes of trying... therte was too many ads in webpages with chromium, and I thought that it's too much of nuisance to get rid of the.. but actually it was easy. :P

Maybe I will start using chromium too.. ^_^

  I find Chrome faster than Safari, but as I've said, I haven't given it a chance. What do you like about Safari? I feel like I "should" use it because it probably works better with Mac, but I'm not great with change.

Google Chrome works for me, too. I prefer it over other browsers because I do appreciate its speed. Whether one is patient or impatient, he likes always a browser which can quicken his works oblivious of the fact that sometimes, internet connection gives a lot of problems.
