Title: What browser?
Post by: Slacker on May 03, 2012, 08:04:37 PM

Have used Internet Explorer (obviously), Firefox and Google Chrome.

Got fed up of flash player crashing on Chrome so gone back to Firefox.

Just wondered what people prefer.

Firefox, or, in a crisis, Safari.

Opera is my browser of choice though I also have Chrome, Firefox and IE9 installed.

Used to use firefox but had a lot of compatabilty issues with some of my work software, so now stick with IE, just less hassle really.

I've used Firefox, Google Chrome & Opera - they all have plus and minus points but, on balance, I prefer Firefox.

Mmm, quite nifty. Deffo faster than IE  :)


Spoke too soon. It's slow when starting with multiple tabs.
Takes over a minute to load 5 tabs.

IE opens 8 tabs in 20 secs  :o

Chrome for me all the time.  Flash does crash every now and again but its much quicker than IE9.

Typing fast in case my internet dies again...

Firefox without any doubt whatsoever.
