What is the downthemall used for?

its a download manager and download accelarator ,when you go to download a file and select downthemall and with this you download much faster than the internal download manager

None of these browsers is better than the other. Try all of them and pick the one you like the most. I wouldn't rely on other people telling you what you're going to like. You won't know until you try them out yourself. I personally have Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE at my disposal since I do web development. It helps to make sure something behaves the same way across every widely used browser.

I tend to lean toward Chrome on Windows and Safari on my mac (however some limitations make me jump on the Chrome boat on my Mac as well.)

Chromey's mah Homey's yo!

I just sucked it up pushed thru. That was probably the first real "hiccup" I have had with Firefox and with AMD for that matter. Was certainly scary when it started to happen anyway.
It's been sorted now at least. I am running HW Accel. again without issue.

when your browser crashes within minutes of you starting it up CONSTANTLY -- YOU suck it up.

I couldnt even go 3 pages without it crashing half the time.

I know that FF have updated twice since the crashing started but it still crashes when i got it up so i just dont bother with it at all.

the first "real hiccup" I've had with AMD is their drivers when it comes to crossfire.

Never again I say to myself....never again.

Personally I like Chrome. I can sign into my web browser, since it's made by Google, and sync everything from bookmarks to apps.

Also, it removes the need to go to a web search address when you can search right from the url bar.

I've only noticed some buggyness recently, but thats due to my wife installing "coupon saver" exe's without me knowing.

I use Firefox because of Adblock Plus and the fact that it is not for profit.

Chrome is terrible if you want English but aren't in an English country.

Chrome has the adblock extension/plugin as well.

as far as language goes. Chrome wouldnt stop directing me to american sites when i searched for stuff when I installed it. but theres a fix where you can either set it to search .co.uk google and posibly an option where you can set the region somewhere in the config i believe as it kept directing me to US sites and the US steam site whenever I checked on steam deals still I sorted it out

MasterInvader · Sep 20, 2012

I use Firefox since 2005 and never going to change.
The only time I use IE is after a clean OS install, only to go @ Mozilla.com/download Firefox :laugh:

brandonwh64 · Sep 20, 2012

I use chrome here cause I am a android user and it helps keep my google account up to date with bookmarks and such.

In my situation, it kept taking me to the .tw sites even after I changed the default. Also, I didn't like the original text popup box that that appeared on translated pages.

Why was Opera not included again? I like Opera's speed dial page, but firefox has added something like that to there browser when you click a new page. I use both Firefox and Opera. Opera's download manager is by far my favorite built in dl manager. I've been wanting to try Chrome and I will soon. :toast:

LOL that sounds about right

+1 on opera. The ease of use is the best of all from my experience.

It does so many things the right way.

I noticed Opera had a lot of the things browsers are just now using today. Not to mention for the longest time CTRL+Z opens up the last closed tab (as many as you want to go back from what I can tell) if you accidently close out. IE is CTRL+SHIFT+T, not sure about the rest.

Chrome and Firefox seem to me a catch-all for those who call themselves tech-savvy, like they are sticking it to the man (microsoft).

gopal · Sep 20, 2012

i am using FireFox now :cool:

I also found that Chrome runs faster than IE and Firefox on slower machines (noticing your Pentium 4), but not always on faster machines. Just a thought.

n-ster · Sep 20, 2012

I found Chrome to be faster... and my machine ain't slow lol

Guitar · Sep 20, 2012

FireFox with Adblock Plus and NoScript = my preference.

IE flat out sucks, I'm just not a fan of Chrome, and never tried Opera or anything else, but use Opera on my phone.

gopal · Sep 20, 2012

I am using Firefox now, faster then my IE9.
also i dled the latest version IDM now id have any problem

Russian · Sep 20, 2012

Chrome is better in my opinion if you use gmail.. if you dont.. use chrome anyway

^ every browser has vulnerabilities

eidairaman1 · Sep 21, 2012

this is too opinionated, like which president was the best

Title Should change to, which browser do you use

claylomax · Sep 21, 2012

Using Opera here, which is not in the poll.

syeef · Sep 21, 2012

IE 9 - my primary browser
FF 15 - my secondary browser
Opera 12 - for browsing with lots of tabs

I also have Chrome and Safari installed in my system but rarely use them.
