What's your favorite browser right now?

[Infohawk]

I can't decide right now. Subjectively, Chrome is fastest for me. Internet explorer is the most compatible. So I find myself using both. You?

Firefox because of all the customisation I've done to it so it works how I want.
It's slow sometimes, especially to load initially, but once it's running it does what I want how I want it to.

 

[igotid]

firefox, add-ons

 

[thescreensavers]

Adblock plus, Thats it. wtb chrome with adblock

Chrome. Easiest and fastest to use. Don't need add-ons. Compatibility is just fine.

Agreed, except I use netflix and certain webapps for work that don't want to run on chrome.

ie7 - for ie7pro flashBlock/spellCheck compatibility
ie8 - on some pc's just to keep up with the latest ms offering
chrome - ease of use and it's 'new'
ff - adblock, safest(?) browsing with noScript

For some reason, I think google will make blocking ad's in its browser difficult...

I use Firefox (one more vote for Adblock) but on my kids' computers they prefer to use IE -- they have encountered some compatibility issues on some of the websites they frequent, and it is easiest for me to just have them use IE than getting called every time one of their games doesn't work as expected. I haven't yet tried Chrome, but it sounds as if I need to!

I use Firefox. Runs fast and I have yet to find a site that doesn't work.

Firefox for me. Mainly because of the add-ons and it works faster.

Firefox 3.5.1 with Adblock Plus 1.1. Also have IE for the wife/kids as they don't want to try FF. Some compatibility issues with FF force me to use IE on certain websites though. FF with adblock is considerably faster than IE on loading webpages (although lately I've had pages hang and and require a refresh to continue and finish loading - not sure if this issue is related to FF or what).

I like firefox & chrome. Use ie8 in ie7 compatibility mode for some school work. Use iron instead of chrome sometimes, but only have 2.0 for iron. Chrome i run 3.0.195.2 on beta channel. amazingly safari 4 is super fast as well. not much love for opera 10. havent tried firefox 4.0

Firefox 3.5.1 because of ABP. If that didn't exist, I'd use Chrome.

Firefox - Adblock Plus, noScript, Flashblock, and QuickJava

Use IE 8 for the odd webpage that won't work well with Firefox.

There's a FireFox 4.0? Alpha version? :shocked:

 

[Chiefcrowe]

Firefox because I love to customize it and it is super fast and the most stable browser I've used.

 

[jadinolf]

SeaMonkey until they pull it from my cold dead hands.

 

[Chiefcrowe]

Just curious since i haven't used it, what are the advantages of seamonkey?

Firefox is a bit sluggish compared to Chrome and other browsers, but I still prefer it. Just minor little features it has are nice, for example the ability to open recently closed tabs and windows. I'm always doing stupid stuff like accidentally exiting out of tabs/windows. A lot of good addons as well.

I also use IE occasionally for compatibility reasons.

I do use Chrome on my netbook, though, because Firefox is ridiculously slow on it. It's due to the SSD I think, Firefox must do a lot more writing to the disk than Chrome or IE8.

I use Chrome most of the time, but use IE for work.

I use Mozilla, primarily for the add-ons, especially Ad-block Plus as well as IE Tab for compatibility's sake.

Opera feels the most intuitive and I'd love to use that, but it's got too many compatibility issues

At work: FF 3.5. Firebug is just too valuable a tool and FF runs fine on 32-bit XP

At home: Chrome has taken over FF. FF 3.5 is too buggy on 64-bit Vista and I don't really want to go backwards with FF 3.0.

What exactly is the problem with FF 3.5 and 64 bit Vista? Curious. How does it run better on 32 bit XP?
