IE Firefox Chrome Safari Opera Derivative of Chrome or Firefox (Please list) Other (please list) |
| I just removed Firefox from one of my laptops this morning. It's been crap for nearly 2 years now, I've had nothing but problems. Chrome is my everyday browser but I have one laptop that I work on mostly and need to run 2 different browsers so I can be logged in to 2 Google accounts and use dual monitors for this. I may look in to Opera or something else to replace FF all together. |

Firefox, by far, for the moment. ESR builds preferred.
The whole Chromium development strategy seems like a cheap, and the "NaCl" and "PP-API" stuff that Google's been talking about is dog shit. If you're going to build a new API for browser plugins and you expect people to start using your new API, you need to write some god damn fucking documentation. PP's documentation is almost non-existent. They just exposed PART of the browser internals and said "see, we build a new API that will replace NP-API for the entire industry". Yeah, no, it fucking ain't gonna replace shit. |

Firefox. Chrome I'm just not gonna use. I have Chromium installed (as well as Opera and Rekonq), but it was pretty lame last time I tried to use it.
Firefox has the add-ons I like. ETA: Is there a Chromium alternative to AdBlock Plus Element Hiding Helper? __________________________________________________________________ Cross-platform electronic bound book (original thread).

Seems Chromium sucks.
Flash doesn't work, Citrix doesn't work... __________________________________________________________________ Cross-platform electronic bound book (original thread). PGP public key. «nolite confidere in principibus, in filiis hominum quibus non est salus» |

Firefox
I never found the customization options and settings on Chrome to be as complete or deep as FF's. Maybe it is, and I'm just not finding them and if I spent more time on it I would learn it better. But since FF works fine for me, I don't see a reason to change. I used Waterfox for a while, but didn't find the performance gains to be worth the hassle of manual updates and instability, etc. |
