jon boy · 01.27.2009, 02:05 AM

with microsoft bringing out ie8 to try and win back some of the people they lost to firefox i thought i would ask which you prefer/recommend?

We've had some variation of this thread a thousand times. Firefox, by far, is the best browser ever. IE is by far the worst. Chrome sucks. Safari sucks. Opera has some cool features.

^ what atsonicpark sed...

Firefox by a mile. Internet Explorer is fucking worthless.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 01.27.2009, 12:36 PM

I prefer Firefox but it's had some hick-ups lately.

Derek · 01.27.2009, 12:41 PM

Firefox ALL THE WAY. Opera is okay. Everytime I use Internet Explorer I always seem to get spyware... that says a lot.

I've been using Chrome a lot lately, asp care to explain why it sucks? Thusfar it's been the least taxing on my resources, has a good built in memory system for browsing and is aesthetically nice as well. The only downside is no plugins.

i have no problem with ie, firefox however doesn't work well for me.

Yeah...pretty much.

Glice · 01.27.2009, 01:37 PM

It's a difficult one, this. Because, ultimately, like Mac or Windows OSes, people use FF or IE because they like familiar things. The only people I know who faff about with other browsers are blind people (Opera wins on this count) or techie sorts. FF being a) massively popular and b) open-source ultimately means that techie sorts will err towards the fox. It wouldn't surprise me, however, if people start moving onto a different browser in due course. It's all about the geist, innit?

Incidentally, I'm putting money on Flock growing to 3rd most popular browser in the next few years.

100% facts

ZEROpumpkins · 01.27.2009, 09:38 PM

Also, someone should make a browser designed specifically for porn. That'd do well.

atsonicpark · 01.27.2009, 09:45 PM

a www.tnaflix.com-based browser? That'd be the shit! Haha. Also, I read recently read Chrome is even more unsafe than IE. I never used it, though. I used Safari and Opera before and ... Safari's okay, Opera has... I dunno. It's okay, it's just... meh. Firefox is just a beautiful lil program.

acousticrock87 · 01.27.2009, 09:51 PM

Firefox is the best, but Chrome is not too far behind. It's certainly more aesthetically pleasing. My major complaint is a lack of master-password, which is kind of essential at college.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.27.2009, 10:01 PM

Opera is for those who think that they are above FF. Everything Opera can do, FF can do.

atsonicpark · 01.27.2009, 10:03 PM

Haha. Yes. I have an opera snob friend.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.27.2009, 10:05 PM

Do they always go on about mouse gestures? That's one of the biggest guns they have in their arsenal for browser flame wars. I got an extension for FF that lets me use mouse gestures.

Think I'm using a keyboard to type this? Think again.
