Web browsers you use for this forum?

[Ichinisan]

I've moved back to Chrome for a while and there are still some things that nag me.

The Ctrl+B, Ctrl+U shortcuts don't work to bold / underline highlighted text when composing a post.

When you point at a topic and the pop-up mini preview appears, it seems to appear at random locations frequently...and I'm left waiting for it to appear near my mouse.

...other annoyances:

When I copy a URL from the address bar, it's not copied as plain-text (!?)...so it effs up the formatting of some things you paste the URL into.

In other browsers, I frequently right-click a tab and press "C" to close when I'm using a mouse with an iffy middle button. My left hand is always on the keyboard and this is much faster than zeroing-in on the tiny little "x". With Chrome, this does not work. FYI, this works for title bars, taskbar buttons, and tabs in almost every application.

The icon doesn't have a large version, so it looks terrible on my Media Center PC with XL desktop icons.

It's annoying that I can rarely ever see a page title without pointing to the tab for pop-up text.

I've used Firefox since it first came out. No regrets.

Didn't really know about the shortcuts, though, or just didn't remember.

Chrome and Firefox on main pc, IE on work laptop, Safari on iPad, Opera Mini on Storm

I'm glad that Chrome actually sets the environment variable so you can do chrome [params] from the Run menu. That was one of my biggest problems with Chrome for a while after it was released.

I'd have to set the envars on all of my systems with Chrome installed.

 

[Ichinisan]

I had been using mostly Firefox. I might switch back again.

I also sometimes use Safari on my Apple iPhone 4 smartphone.

No poll?

FF at home, Chrome at work

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Opera. It's what I use for everything else, so it's what I stick with.

No poll?

FF at home, Chrome at work

why?


I tried Chrome at work because I thought it would be faster but it turns out the computer lags out because it's a piece of shit rather than it being some kind of software issue. firefox and chrome are both many times faster on my home computer, and a stalling page doesn't lag the entire computer to the point where even the mouse is jerky.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Same as Mr. Pedantic.

First time I learned about opera, was on a pirated OS back in Belarus.

 

[JJChicken]

Obviously Opera. All other browsers are inferior pieces of #$%!.

 

[Kirby]

Chrome or Opera. Whatever strikes my fancy that day.

FF 4 beta

Firefox. I've gotten too used to the way it works and my add-ons that I don't really feel like switching, even if I did think that changing browsers would really improve anything.

 

[shiner]

Those were the days. Last time I used it was when I ran OS/2 Warp as my primary OS.

I hung out at my mother's technical school library when I was a kid and used Gopher. That system was dated even for its day.

Did AT exist in 1995?

Explorer. I'm hard for Microsoft... and too lazy to learn new programs if I don't have to. Even if learning means finding where the back and font-size buttons are.

I think it was late 98 when I first discovered the site. Maybe early 99.

Chrome. Haven't used Opera in awhile, but everything is mediocre compared to Chrome. Plan on playing around with IE9 this weekend.

AMD K6/266 where are you?!? - Thursday, January 8, 1998 - 6:53AM

I know a great deal of you are interested in knowing more about AMD's K6/266, we're all waiting for a word from AMD but we aren't receiving even that. Well, just recently AMD has started shipping the 0.25 micron chips they produced last year, according to AMD this will include the 233MHz and 266MHz parts that we've been waiting for. I'm still waiting for a response from my contact at AMD, however I have had no luck so far getting any information about the upcoming processors directly from the source. I'll keep you posted on this situation...hopefully I can keep you posted with a few benchmarks of the processor if I ever hear from AMD.

Takes you back.

This, they are so similar that FF add-ons make it easily the one to use for me.

I thought you could add a poll after a thread was started...but now I don't seem to have the option.
