PostTue Jun 16, 2009 4:30 pm    Internet Browser

So, I figure I'll come back out of the gates strong with a new topic.

What internet browser do we all use?

Me, I've been using Mozilla Firefox for the longest time. Though, recently, I've been having a little fling with Google Chrome. It's nice, but a little too simplistic for my tastes. I'll probably end up going back to Firefox.

I can't seem to con Windows XP into loading the installer program for 8 correctly.

I use Flock/Google, while my mom is extremely fond of Firefox.

"IE" is considered a cursive word in this house. lol

IE is like the person you see at the supermarket at 3am who looks strange, and you just want to avoid. Thats why I use FIREFOX FTW!!! Open Source-GNU I love Open Source things, they make my life so much simpler. Only downside is FF doesn't have multi-core browsing yet...

I use Firefox and Elinks. Since I don't have Windows and just use Linux, I don't even think about IE anymore.

Maybe that person thinks it's kind of strange that you're in the supermarket at 3 am.

Usually that person in the supermarket that you see at 3 am and avoid is having an indepth conversation with themselves. I am all for Firefox. Things just seem to load and go faster in this browser. I have heard, although I cannot substantiate this, that Firefox lets less viruses though.

Firefox Only. If I could uninstall IE, I would. It is the WORST BROWSER EVER. It is sooooooooo unstable. Chrome isn't faster than Firefox either. Although it is cleaner, and can run HTML 5 apps better, it is just a generally worse browser.

I just started using firefox, but I discovered when I'm on my desktop I can only log into stv with internet explorer. It works fine on my laptop though.
