    Best web browser

    I have basically used Internet Explorer since I started using the internet. I downloaded firefox from work today and like the speed versus IE. I know that there is google chrome but haven't tried it. I am considering changing now that I have seen the light. What do you guys perfer using?

    I use IE. FF is still just foreign to me. Safari crashed my computer alot. I just don't trust Google so no Chrome for me.

    FF is all I use, unless I'm testing things at work, where we are also forced to use IE.

    Chrome is quicker to open, but still glitchy. Safari, well, is just safari.. It doesn't have anything special. I find it lack luster at best.

    But I honk the FF horn all the time, so give it a chance, it grows on you.... quickly...

    I am currently using Google Chrome. Meh.... It is quick and has Incognito for secret stuff.

    Personally I think Firefox is "the bees knees"

    Re: Best web browser

    i was a avid user of firefox, but after timmy's post on the old site about google chrome i decided to take it for another spin (i had tried it once in it's beta phase but only briefly) and i've really gotten attached to it. speed wise it is even faster than firefox and i like the simplicity of it. That's what i hate about IE, it always has so many damn buttons and unneeded links and nonsense that it won't let you get rid of and every program and that program's mother tries to install another damn tool bar on there. After a while there are so many buttons and tool bars that you can't see more than a few inches of the actual page you are looking at

    Been using FF for a long time now. Will have to give chrome a try one day I guess. IE is crap forced on everyone.

    Re: Best web browser

    Ok after using FF for a couple of hours I almost never want to return to IE. FF is soooooo much faster and not all the BS buttons you don't need. I will have to try out chrome so I can say I tried them all. No point in trying safari since every said it sucks.

    FF is all i can stand to use now. internet explorer, or Idiots Exploder is what they should call it, just can't keep up with the wholesome goodness that Firefox put together. i recomend the change if havn't yet.

    I'm a huge believer in Firefox, I've been using it for a few years now. If you haven't already, look into all the add-ons available for it. You need to have AdBlock Plus... no more popup windows or annoying ads showing up on you.
