Re: What is your web browser?

Is Google Chrome as good as I hear it is?

Much better...

The true is that switched from Firefox to Chrome and I don't see any reason to come back to it. The only downfall of Chrome atm is the lack of support WYISIWYG ajax of vbulletin 3 and 4, but right now I'm starting to think that is more related to the design of the Webware, than the browser itself.

Chrome is quite amazing and load faster than the rest of the browsers, except IE9 test drive.

Re: What is your web browser?

I usually use Firefox to surf the web (using it right now in fact). I used to use IE a lot, but now I never use it. Never tried using Opera, though. And Google Chrome I've tried, but prefer Firefox.

Re: What is your web browser?

1. Firefox
2. Google Chrome
3. Safari
4. IE is for last resort cause it sucks and it's terribly slow

Re: What is your web browser?

I use Firefox, but my other favorite is Google Chrome because it is faster, simpler, and just as safe if not safer. Have never gotten a virus with Google Chrome..

Re: What is your web browser?

I use Firefox. I am loyal to the Firefox.
I have come to love it, building up extensions that have just made my life so easy.
RSS extensions, Bookmark Bar icon extensions, File Tools/etc bar cutter, Twitter extension (using Echofon currently), NoScript/etc. Love it.

Re: What is your web browser?

Now it is Firefox and I really like it because of its speed and interface.
I used to work with Internet Exploerer, though it was a while ago. Now it is whery difficult for me to change browser, because I've got used to it.

Re: What is your web browser?

I use Firefox whenever I can. I <3 Firefox. IE is only out of no choice. Opera is meh, and I don't wanna waste space on Chrome.

I still use Firefox, but I use Chrome to watch videos, especially YouTube videos. FF can lag if it uses up tonsa memory, and I prefer not to restart it.

Re: What is your web browser?

I am using Mozilla Firefox which is the best for me. Because it is very fast compare to other. Also, it contains lots of kind of add-ons which is very useful feature of it. It provides tabs, easy customization and also it is open source so there is no problem to get it.

Re: What is your web browser?

before I said that google chrome became my default browser, but these days I'm using Opera because is faster than every other browser, except maybe reoloading pages, but when it comes to loading pages there's really it do the trick.

Frefox 4.0 beta is my browser for big downloads, like stuff of 1gb or more, it gives me around 6 or 7kbps more per download, also my browser for vBulletin boards, since vBulletin's WYSIWYG is not working on Opera or Chrome.

Internet explorer is there for silverlight pages, is just performs the content flawless, I'm telling you guys, the days of Flash are counted with silverlight around.

And Chrome is about to be uninstalled, the only reason i have it is due the bookmarks management which is a little better than the others.

You can test which browser load faster by using http://cache.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/stopwatch.php and just refresh the page if you wanna know which browser realods faster.

IE9: Beauty of the web?

What do you think about the new Internet Explorer 9.

I've been reading about the upcoming release of the first beta and so far what I get from tech forums is, how is firefox planning to survive chrome and IE9 take on the web, check this:

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/ne...explorer-9-redmond-gets-back-in-the-game.ars/

It ships sometimes today and looks great, really looking forward to the new thumbnail video controls. Hopefully we'll get to customize the position of the tabs, but they look great there anyway.

The browser should be available for download in 2 or 3 hours, web cast @ 10pm PDT http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/internetexplorer/Default.aspx


http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/#/download


is out now.

30 mins test, loads page a fast as Chrome, but reloads even faster. Have a few issues with this version of wysiwyg editor, but with vb4 works fine.
