Nuh1000 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well when I'm on my macbook I use Safari bc Im too lazy to download chrome Though when I'm on my desktop I use Chome. IMO They're both excellent browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Overall I'm glad we have so much choice with browsers these days. I remember earlier websites back in the Internet dial-up days had a note in their footer stating "Best Viewed using Internet Explroer 4/5 on 800x600". Basically there were a few non-standard HTML tags that only Internet Explorer supported. *cough* BGSOUND and Marquee. If you were using Netscape Navigator or Opera then there was a good chance you'd get a very different viewing experience. Thankfully we've come a long way since then in web design standards, so you get a pretty consistent experience across most browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bynn Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Opera. Google Chrome runs terribly on my laptop and opera loads pages quite smoothly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I was using Opera until just recently, but with the update to 29, it seems like they broke quite a few things. First, Opera was the only browser that did notifications correctly, and put them on my main monitor, but now it puts them on my secondary monitor like all the other browsers. Also, the new tab page actually used to look good in 28, I'm not sure why they had to make it look more chromeish. Therefore, since I don't want to bloat Opera with a ton of extensions to make it exactly how I want, I'm going back to Firefox as at least I have less extensions there, and it has a good new tab page. The only thing I miss while using Firefox is the ability to easily drag a tab and create a new window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyePotatoes Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Definitely Google Chrome. But I used Internet Explorer before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Firefox. I'm used to the way it... loads things? There's those very subtle differences I see between browsers on the same webpages, and I prefer FF the most, because I've been using it for so long. It also feels more stable, though it might just be my imagination because I understand the little quirks of it much better than other browsers'.

Pokii Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've been using Google Chrome for like more than 1-2 years so I know it's best browser I have for my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidenTheBloodEdge Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Internet Explorer 11 Internet Explorer still exists? I thought they abandoned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Internet Explorer still exists? I thought they abandoned it. Well, for Windows 10, they technically abandoned it for their new 'Project Spartan'. Some speed tests claim that its 3x faster than IE11. They will actually be still including IE in WIndows 10 though, as Spartan browser focuses on being new and efficient, IE is still the legacy browser that has compatibility with some really old sites and such.

drill Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Well, I've been trying out yet a new browser now. This one is called Vivaldi. Its very new in that it has only been out during 2015, but its made quite a bit of progress this year. The team decided to go with Blink as their engine, but they are trying to replicate Opera before version 15, which was when Opera started making big strides in copying Chrome, just like Firefox. Anyway, its a bit far from being the best browser out there, especially for Windows, but I find it integrates well with Gnome, and seems to be the best browser I can use at the moment, as Firefox has a ton of random bugs and glitches on Linux.

SpaWnAge Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I am using google chrome for now, i am waiting for the new browser vivaldi to show up with a stable version after technical preview, it seems pretty good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Went back to firefox in anticipation that multiprocess would be in the new beta update. However, they pushed it back for at least a month which kinda ticks me off, so now I'm using firefox dev. Although, it is their unstable build, and while the UI can still lock up under heavy load, its not anywhere near as bad as single process firefox.

FSL29 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Chrome because of its integration and probably just because already got used to it with all the shortcuts and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drill Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Switched to Chrome Beta, as it has the least amount of issues compared to any other browser on Fedora. Also, it is nice as it is more stable than Firefox developer edition which is the only version of Firefox really worth using, imo, due to it being the most stable multi process version.

Columbus Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Tor because it's a proxy and no one can track you at all while you're on it. It makes me feel really safe. I can't wait for Tor's new HORNET browser to be released. Edited October 7, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nqvinh94 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I"m using Firefox (main before but since it's hangout I use Google Chrome), Google Chrome (main) and Maxthon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Trying out Opera for Fedora which is ridiculously hard to find since Opera doesn't distribute RPM packages of their new browser anymore. So far, everything seems to be running nicely. Not sure if I'll stick with this, or go back to Yandex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Bunny of Doom Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm using Chrome because I'm used to it It was the first browser I tried (when I realised IE was the shame of this world ) and since it never caused me any problems, I've kept it. I've been using it for about six years now and I don't think I'll ever change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neptune.exe Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I use chrome and firefox as my main browsers. Chrome for the speed and firefox for the extensions. Then as secondary browsers i use Opera Next and Maxthon. Maxthon is pretty fast, but lacks options and extensions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
