What browser do you use?

[Sadaiyappan]

I use Firefox. I switch between Chrome and Firefox but Firefox is my favorite. I never use Internet Explorer. What is the safest browser?

I don't know if this conversation is really still all that relevant these days. The competition and spec sets are so similar amongst all browsers not named IE that its become somewhat of a moot point.

I agree that each browser still has its selling points, but I don't see any of them in terms of security and speed, so significant in advancements that it warrants to choose one on those merits alone.

I love the feature set of Opera and the tab stacking. I love Chrome and its minimal user interface. I love Firefox (version 4) for its balance of features and add-on support..

IE has protected mode. Chrome has its sandbox. I avoid browsers that don't implement something similar.

Beyond that, Lynx is probably the safest browser. 😉

I don't think kicking IE over security is really valid these days. Features? sure; but it's a valid contender amongst the other choices. I primarily use Firefox and Opera since they provide the features I want in a browser.

Internet Explorer 9 is bar far the safest and most secure browser right now. It is also the slowest of the major browsers.

It is also the slowest of the major browsers.

I thought it was supposed to be pretty fast. I've been on Ubuntu/Debian 100% through the IE9 release, so I haven't been able to try it myself.

I normally use Firefox. Occasionally I use chrome. I've also tried IE9, and while I'm impressed with it compared to IE7, or 8 I still prefer Firefox.

[Chiefcrowe]

Personally I use firefox almost all the time.

 

[zokudu]

I am part of the Opera master race.

 

[super_sinbad]

I only use FireFox.

 

[alexruiz]

Opera.... 😛

IE9 safer than opera? how? 😱

 

[Gooberlx2]

Chrome

 

[Barfo]

Firefox and Opera.

 

[pyonir]

Firefox 99.9% of the time. Opera the other .1%.

I say Firefox because of Adblock, but if there was an equivalent of Adblock on Chrome, I'm not sure there's anything there to make me change.

So, FF.

 

[boochi]

Chrome has Adblock and Adblock+ extensions available too.

 

[theAnimal]

Firefox nightly.

Use whatever you want to use. Why does it matter what other people are using?

Because he might have missed some features which might prompt a change.

This. The obsession that some people develop with their favourite web browser is staggering and embarrassing.

 

[nemesismk2]

I use Firefox 4 because it works well with all of the websites which I use. I tried IE9 and found that to be very good but it wasn't 100% compatible with some of the websites I visit.

 

[classy]

I use IE8 and Opera. IE9 is really good, but not compatible with a lot of websites. I don't care for firefox and I don't like the lack of a menu bar with chrome. Truthfully there is no real #1 browser.

firefox it is cross platform the same.

safari is weird.

chrome still can't print preview after years of people begging for it (i can't print a web-invoice with header/footer/wrong margins)
