firefox / IE... reasons being that most websites are designed for these browsers, then tested in others... and if they have any special JAVA code or anything extra it may not function / display correctly on another browser

DaveK · Jul 10, 2009

Firefox is my preference, the add ones and ease of use it what I like about it. AdBlock Plus, GMail Notifier and many others. The right click and search Google/Wiki/eBay/IMDb etc feature is great, there's even an add on that loads the next page automatically lol, had it on and was browsing the forum and was going "Why the hell is this page so long" lol then I noticed I had it on.

IE8 definitely ain't "fast" but it gets the job done. IE8 is an enormous improvement from IE7 as far as security is concerned.

IE6/FF, since I use server 2008 I don't have IE6 anymore though. Most fun is netpositive though, love the errors.

Triprift · Jul 10, 2009

Just try them all out and go from there i prefer IE myself as it displays pages and not really concerned at what speed it does it.

Cool, surprised me with 3066 points in Firefox 3.5 (compared to Core i7 920, same browser: 2525 points). :toast:

Lol, there´s actually a "Techpowerup image enlarge" as a userscript for FF Greasemonkey.

Greasemonkey is one of my favourite plugins besides all the plugins for privacy and ad blocking.

opera 10 beta :rockout:

A Cheese Danish · Jul 10, 2009

Been used to firefox for a while and don't really feel like changing it up at all.
Firefox works for me. However I use IE and Opera on my phone.

MoonPig · Jul 10, 2009

Yea! Go Safari!

Fastest and looks the best

js01 · Jul 10, 2009

Firefox + Adblock Plus ftw!!

wiak · Jul 10, 2009

well its hard, firefox for addons, chrome for speed, opera for standards, flock is a wreid firefox copy, internet explorer for viruses and safari for the zoo

etrigan420 · Jul 10, 2009

IE8.

Does everything I need it to.

wiak · Jul 10, 2009

DO not i say DO not use Internet Explorer, its horribale outdated just look at any other browsers, they do all the new stuff way faster, and even supports HTML5 tags

Way faster? You realize that we're talking about milliseconds here right? :rolleyes:

If it fails to do something that I want it to do, I might shop around.

Safari for main use, Firefox for Internetbanking and IE for and site that doesn't work on the other two.

I prefer Safari as it seems to blend well with Windows. But i hate IE for that loading time... and it looks bad. Safari also has the history, top pages etc layed out like in the i-phone way. Should be called i-safari tbh.

After using Firefox for the last few years, I tried Safari last week and I am loving it.

I think I'll be using this for a while now.

t77snapshot · Jul 10, 2009

I dropped IE a couple of years ago and use Firefox now. I am going to try Chrome and maybe Safari (even though i'm not a fan Mac)

3066! very nice score :toast:

btarunr · Jul 10, 2009

They changed the scoring system. You might get a very nice score too.

domy85 · Jul 10, 2009

I use the 64bit version of IE8 some times, but other than it not being able to open flash media websites, whats the benefit? I use IE8 though all the time.

TheMailMan78 · Jul 10, 2009

I like IE8. Have you guys tried it yet?

phanbuey · Jul 10, 2009

Chrome hard locked my rig all the time... and safari has weird font smoothing making everything look blurry.

I like IE8, although i would not surf the pr0n with it.... Opera for that :laugh:

- the more obscure the browser, the better lol.

Exactly its amazing how many ppl assume cus a browser is ms faster than its better like if we loses that time weel feel robbed and want it back.
