Title: What Browser Do You Use?
Post by: Lyle on January 27, 2009, 04:42:41 PM
I'm just wondering what Web browser you use, particularly to view AAROADS and this Forum? It seems most people I know or have worked with use Microsoft Internet Explorer, but I prefer Mozilla Firefox.

I use Firefox too. Never use IEX anymore, except on those dumbass sites that only work with internet explorer  :sombrero:

I use IE7 the most (it's the one I use on this forum) but I also have a copy of Firefox 3 on my U3 jump drive and also have Google Chrome (mainly for the application window functionality but if I have an app window open and I just want to view a random webpage I will use chrome since I can just click open browser window rather than starting IE or Firefox).

Firefox preferred.

I'll use Internet Exploder if necessary (some sites I access at home don't work in FF (other than windoze upslate)

I also use Firefox.  The only time I use IE 7 is for websites that still regulate you to view their site in IE rather of Firefox.

Firefox 3 for me 98% of the time. The other 2%, I'm using Opera for a couple of sites that don't work well in Firefox. Haven't used IE in at least 3 years.

Firefox 3 for me. Like flaroadgeek, tend to only use IE for pages that require it. Additionally I tend to use IE for any online mapping program, which I use on my 2nd monitor.

Firefox usually, although sometimes I'll jump into Chrome. Haven't used IE in months, although I keep it updated.

Google Chrome is not something I'd recommend.

I agree about Chrome.  It's way inadequate for a dedicated browser.  That said, it is great for its application view functionality and is great if you just want to look something up and don't need all the features from you regular browser (because it's really fast to start up).

I recently upgraded to IE8.  Overall I find it's a better experience than IE7.  I especially love the new accelerators feature.
