I like Firefox

Since IE quit being compatible with a Mac, I went to Firefox and have no complaints at all. Safari just does not work for me.

Depends on which OS
Apr 29, 2009 1:24PM PDT

Windows Vista: Google Chrome
Ubuntu 8.04: Mozilla Firefox (or at least until Google comes out with Google Chrome for Linux)

I'm using firefox 3.5 I think. I was using chrome but it didn't scroll while viewing videos. The addons are most important to me now.

I mainly switched from IE due to how slow it is compared to most web browsers and because it the most vulnerable to security threats. I use Firefox as my main browser but have been trying out Safari lately. I love Safari's interface but it seems slower than Firefox and I had trouble with log-ins. My computer has been acting weird today so if Safari turns out just as fast or faster I'll switch to it. The only add-ons I use with Firefox are AVG Linkscanner and KeyScrambler so not a big deal I guess.

Firefox 17, Chrome, IE9

Firefox has never given me any problems with any of my sites, but Chrome is running a close second. I tried it a year or so and found it buggy, but I'm currently running with 10 tabs and it's working great. I'm using IE9 (32 bit version) less and less because every time I turn around I run into bugs with it here and other places and it's slower than Firefox and Chrome too. It seems like the more MS "fixes" it, the more broke it gets. Sad

Firefox, but only because Chrome doesn't have a particular extension that Firefox has

All of them
Jun 16, 2014 11:48PM PDT

For me, browsers are like cakes, I like to try them all (I would like to type women, but I don't get to try each one I like Happy)

I use all the major ones plus Konqueror on Linux, except maybe Android stock browser, but not all in the same time, usually I change the browser when I install new computers to see how far they got since the last time I used the,

I am not a developer so for me it is all about the look and usability. They all have their strong sides:

Chrome - works best with Google apps and has most extensions
Opera - best interface, good functions
Explorer - every cms and online banking works on it
Firefox - clear interface, rock solid

My website looks a little bit different in different browsers, but all the elements are visible in each one of them, although some elements are a bit moved left or right
