Web Browser - Posted By BizzD (0wnzer) on 26th Nov 08 at 5:56am
What Web Browser Do You Use? I just had to bring up this topic. {Tongue Out}

I use well... Safari mainly, Opera and Netscape (old-fashioned ftw!) and Maxthon (www.maxthon.com). With Maxthon you can go back and forth pages just by holding your right mouse button and dragging left(back) or right(forward). A cool lil' feature i found out!

Now back to the topic.

What Web Browser Do You Use, I'm just curious. {Wink}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 26th Nov 08 at 7:15am
I use Fire Fox 3, its the only one I use. I have the other browsers, only to see if my forums/sites work/look right in the rest of the leading browsers.

well I only use FF, I dont like the others..

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Ross (admin) on 26th Nov 08 at 11:47am
I use a mixture of Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 7 and Google Chrome - it varies depending on what I'm doing. Although because of my job I have to use others like Opera, IE6 and Safari on a regular basis. I've not used Netscape for years {Cheesy}

I use FF, mainly. I do also use Chrome & Opera from time to time.

Opera also has similar mouse shortcuts. Holding the right mouse button then clicking the left takes you back, and vice-versa. {Wink}

FF, IE, Opera... same reason as everyone else.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By RuhRoe (mezorro) on 28th Nov 08 at 2:47pm
I have IE7 and Safari. I don't use Safari though. Accually I don't even know how it got on this computer {Tongue Out}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By ajay (ajay) on 28th Nov 08 at 3:05pm

If you downloaded Quick Time, or something like that, it probably downloaded with it. I had that happen. So I just kept it {Tongue Out}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By RuhRoe (mezorro) on 28th Nov 08 at 10:38pm
I have Itunes. Would that install it?

Re: Web Browser - Posted By GlitchesSocom (ravenelle) on 30th Nov 08 at 3:31am
I use FF3 with the IE and Opera view plug-ins along with some others that makes web development easier =]

Re: Web Browser - Posted By darkdays (darkdays) on 30th Nov 08 at 4:01am
IE7 for flash games, FF3 for everything else.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Jason (frufru) on 4th Dec 08 at 5:34am
I like how it gives me a "Get Google Chrome" ad at the top {Tongue Out}

So yeah, I use all of FF, IE, and Chrome regularly. Sometimes when I gotta wait for a test result or something I open Opera and set it to auto-reload

Well when I needed it, I already had Opera installed, so I was like, meh, might as well use it {Tongue Out} . Didn't feel like loading FF with too many add-ons....

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 7th Dec 08 at 12:22pm
Yeah I guess. and yeah if you fill Fx with allot of Add-ons then Fx will go a bit slower, had that problem.. was not good. Had to uninstall some things.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 7th Dec 08 at 12:33pm
you guys are lucky, my FF is all messed up and I can't install or uninstall addons or skins or anything and when I asked for help I got, "we are clueless" for a response..

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 10th Dec 08 at 6:12am
Uninstall FireFox, then reinstall it. If you tried it with Windows Add/remove, then try Glary Utilities It will help you remove it.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By [.tR] ookie1 (ookie1) on 10th Dec 08 at 6:16am
I use FF3. {Smile}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By leangreen76 (leangreen76) on 14th Dec 08 at 3:25pm
Firefox 3.?? It's all I ever need.

i have IE7 installed to look at my forums/websites in to check for errors/update my website, but rarely use for anything other for that. Tried Google Chrome - but didn't see the big deal. Even tried for Safari but didn't get on with it, didn't like the interface - but then it it is by Apple, who I've nothing against, I'm just not keen on their stuff.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By (¯`•Stormraven•._) (stormraven) on 18th Dec 08 at 5:03am
I use FF, IE (hate it) and opera, depending on what im coding {Smile}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Neversoft (willembahh) on 18th Dec 08 at 5:45am
On my computer, I have FF3, IE7, Chrome, and Opera 9.5.

Of those, I use FF the most {Smile}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By orangehippo (orangehippo) on 31st Dec 08 at 4:39pm
ive been using firefox for a while now. which browser for you is the best?

Re: Web Browser - Posted By blanka (blanka) on 23rd Jan 09 at 3:37am
I'm only a chrome user now. It's fast and has many useful features while being light weight and strictly focusing on the website content. I mean don't get me wrong, Fx3 is great and all but I prefer simplicity over distracting browsers. xD

Re: Web Browser - Posted By leangreen76 (leangreen76) on 28th Jan 09 at 12:26am
I've since abandoned firefox for a while due to a bug/glitch which involved this little announcement from firefox and no matter how much you clicked it was hard to get close down.

I have since switched to Google Chrome, and I must say - it is growing on me and is alot faster.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 28th Jan 09 at 5:56pm
I recently redownloaded Chrome now I must say the latest release is like really slow. :[. It took two minutes to open up these forums in chrome. It took IE 35 seconds (IE's startup is horrid slow!) and FireFox about 12 seconds, Safari about 15 seconds and Opera loaded these forums like in 3 seconds. o.o.

I love Firefox because of the mods it has is awesome. I wish Chrome would work better, I kind of expect the best from Google. XD

If any page is taking that long to load in almost every browser, it's either your internet connection, or the server of the site you're attempting to access. {Unsure}

Re: Web Browser - Posted By BizzD (0wnzer) on 7th Feb 09 at 6:28pm
Now, I currently use Opera all the time. IE is slow like heck on my computer (maybe because i became a toolbar fanatic) and same with Google Chrome. As for FF...just never liked it. {Unsure}

Nope. =/. It is just Chrome. Others work perfectly. It is usually on the 'resolving host' step.

I did some turnoffs of FF's autoupdates pages seem to be loading MUCH faster to me now. But FF likes crashing on some sites...mainly ProBoards...dunno why.

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Alex Bailey (system) on 7th Feb 09 at 8:57pm
I use IE7 and I sometimes use FF3

Re: Web Browser - Posted By Brandon (brandon) on 11th Feb 09 at 8:03pm
