Which Browser?

#1

Post by Hannibal Lecter »

Dear Friends,

As an IT Tech, I am curious as to your preferred browser(s), as well as any idiosyncracies the different browsers might have in rendering various websites.

Avant? Firefox? Internet Explorer? Netscape? Others?

My thanks to you all,

Hannibal

As a Mac user I tend to use Safari. I have Firefox installed as well for use time to time.

I use Firefox at both work and at home. I like it a lot! The built in spell checker is priceless for me. For what it's worth, I also use Thunderbird for my email at home.

Firefox for that past two years.

I would toss Opera in that poll as well, it seems to be fairly popular.

I use FF too. I like it a lot. Very customizable, which I like. I haven't tried IE now that they have tabs and whatnot...

Hey Buddy :)

I am a 100% Firefox man. The pic below shows the extensions that I cannot live without. :)

I also use Opera off and on at work, but I don't use IE unless an application needs it.

I have a "few" more extensions in my Firefox, I could probably dump about 25% of them, but the rest I use. I don't know how I lived w/o it.

I use Firefox. No particular reason other than someone recommended it to me and it seems to do okay.

FF for the past year or so. Much faster than IE -- especially on the Spyderco forums. In fact, that was the reason I began looking for a new browser. The Spyderco site too forever to load. FF is instantaneous.

Firefox all the way. Also have the IE add-on installed, for the rare occasions that I need to use IE.

i used to use IE, for the last two weeks i have been running Mozilla and i love it
tabs are great and it just makes more sense to me
must remember to install Opanda IEXIF for it though (i look at a lot of photos and like seeing the shooting data)

I run Linux (Ubuntu/Dapper Drake OS) on my laptop, and I love Firefox. Windows blows, and can lick my big harries for all I care. A free OS that I don't need spyware, or anti virus software for, and don't have to pay for each subsequent upgrade for...not to mention countless other PROS....just can't beat that! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Hello doctor.

I've been using IE6 for a while before version #7 became available. In between, I tried FF and found it a liitle bit odd. When IE 7 came along, all the problems that were in version 6 were obsolete.

It is now IE7 all the way....

I really like the tabs and phishing features...

And it is quite faster than the previous version.
